LNS North America Inc.’s new GT 342 automatic magazine bar feeder features a patented guiding system to enable higher spindle speeds for greater throughput from sliding headstock turning machines.

The compact-base design gives increased rigidity, which dampens the amount of vibration coming from the bar and improves the overall performance of the machine.

The new GT 342 enables machining of bars from 0.12"-1.73" (3-44 mm) and can guide bars from 32" (800 mm) to 12'6" (3,810 mm) in length. The new channel design reportedly enables for partial changeovers of under 2 minutes with full changeover times of less than 7 minutes. Once unlocked, the lower channels simply slide out while the upper channel remains the same for the entire bar diameter range.
