Showcasing its newest barfeeding and parts unloading devices, chip and coolant management systems, air filtration equipment, workholding devices and Ethernet connectivity software, LNS is the one stop at IMTS for productivity-enhancing machine tool peripherals.
Featured is the new Quick Load Servo S3 T Automatic Magazine Barfeeder that reliably loads ¼” to 4-3/4” diameter bar stock in lengths from 4” to 63” (not to exceed overall spindle length). Fully automatic diameter adjustment and other patented features enable 15 second or less diameter changes within the pusher range, and 1 minute or less complete changeovers. A new, enhanced menu-driven touch screen HMI prompts shape, diameter and part length data entry for automatic changeover adjustments. A unique Parts Library stores data for 500 part programs, and an embedded Web server in the PLC allows the barfeeder share data with the CNC machine via the LNS e-Connect communications tool.
Also being introduced is the new LNS SC-500 Spray Cabin. This compact, mobile device uses a highly effective air filtration system to remove 99% of airborne contaminants generated when a compressed air gun is used to clean off machined parts. The Spray Cabin encloses the parts so the oil or coolant residue, chips and other debris can be safely blown off without contaminating the air or factory floor. The large, lockable wheels make it easy to move the Spray Cabin around the shop, and it has a convenient side tray to hold tools, instruments or even small parts. The filtration system includes an economical, washable pre-filter and comes standard with a reliable low-noise, energy-efficient, single-phase motor. The SC 500 Spray Cabin is designed for use with machine tool oils, coolants or non-combustible solvents.
Live demonstrations include the LNS e-Connect database and data transfer system that enables a CNC turning machine and an LNS barfeeder to share real-time information, a Quick Load Servo 80 S2 short barfeeder coupled with a Blaze Air Vacuum Unloader, and LNS PowerStream VP variable high pressure coolant system.
LNS technical specialists will be on hand to discuss customer applications and provide information on the complete line of CNC machine peripheral solutions designed to enhance manufacturing productivity.
