LNS America has set the industry standard in bar feed systems. The Hydrobar Sprint S3 is incredibly efficient and undoubtedly
reliable. Designed to safely handle a complete range of sizes, high speed operation, greater workpiece accuracy, shorter machining
times, quiet, vibration-free performance, unattended operation, superior surface finish, longer tool life and lower running costs.
Hexagonal and square bar stock can also be accommodated.
Maximizing Your Spindle Speed For Efficiency
Unsupported bar stock turning at high RPMs produces poor output and over a period of time can cause damage to your barfeed and lathe.
The Hydrobar Sprint S3 features a patented hydrostatic self-opening bearing block design, permitting you to run round bar stock at
your lathe’s maximum spindle speed and it guarantees the best bar support in the industry. The Hydrobar Sprint S3 hydrostatic
bearing element design is capable of continuous operation at maximum RPM’s.
Its high speed capability also permits full implementation of constant surface speed cutting operations up to 3000 SFM.
Pressurized oil penetrates the bearing elements, allowing high speed bar stock rotation.
Designed to Run at High RPMs
When running at high RPMs, the design of a barfeed contributes greatly to the life
of a lathe, surface finish and tool life.
Ruggedly built to ensure long life, the servo driven automatic magazine bar loader requires minimum maintenance and will give you
longer tool life.
The bearing support system is a heavy duty cast iron design that provides continuous, quiet, vibration-free operation without fail.
The rugged design includes features that withstand the abuse of large bar stock turning at high RPM. These features make the
Hydrobar Sprint S3 reliable, easy-to-use and ensure long life for both the bar feed and your lathe.
Extended Run Time Keeps Your Production Running Efficiently
Continuously loading bar stock to keep your production running can become
inefficient. Production time is lost and long run times can result in profit lost.
The combination of high speed operation and automatic loading makes the Hydrobar Sprint S3 the ideal bar feed for integration
into automated production cells and systems. It meets the high material usage needs of continuous turning operations and unmanned
machining operations.
The Hydrobar Sprint S3 is equipped with a large capacity stock magazine providing uninterrupted operation of CNC lathes on average
lot runs and extended runs of any length workpiece.
The large capacity (27-1/2“) stock magazine is situated alongside the bar feed system and below the center axis of the machine.
Barstock automatically loads from the magazine to a chain loading device which lifts bar stock to the barfeed and advances the
bar stock into position.
Intelligent, User Friendly Remote Control For Fast Changevoers
The latest PLC generation offered with the Hydrobar Sprint S3 is user friendly and production efficient. The ultra light, ergonomic
remote control provides clear, concise instructions, text messages and unmatched ease of operation. The remote can be unplugged
from the cable for ease of servicing.
To control torque and speed, all you need to do is enter the bar diameter and length of the workpiece in the remote control.
This operation takes approximately fifteen seconds for diameter change. Adjustments are made automatically. No manual adjustments
are required. Complete changeover is fast and easy and achieved in approximately 10 minutes, includes quick change bearing elements
and pusher, bearing elements handle a full .157” diameter range.
Maximum speed is based on round steel bar straight within .020”/3 ft. with diameter clearance of .020” rotational clearance
between bearing elements and bar stock. For relative speeds using other materials, contact manufacturer.
