The LNS Sprint 552 is an automatic magazine-type bar feeder with the reliability and clean bar handling that have made LNS a standard for lathe automation in high-volume machine shops. This 2011 unit feeds bar stock from 0.2 up to 2.04 inches (5-52 mm) in diameter and handles lengths up to 12 feet 6 inches, making it a strong match for fixed or sliding-headstock CNC lathes. Its hydrodynamic guide channel and hydrostatic, two-position pneumatically actuated front rest keep bars supported and vibration-free at speed, while a fast 30-to-40-second loading cycle keeps the spindle fed and productive. As a self-contained magazine loader, it drops in alongside a turning center to enable unattended, continuous production. Compared to earlier LNS Quick Load and Hydrobar-style feeders, the Sprint 552 brings a more refined hydrodynamic guide system and a hydrostatic self-centering front rest that support larger 52 mm bar at higher spindle speeds with less vibration than older fixed-channel designs. The magazine automation and quick loading cycle cut operator handling versus single-tube or manual loaders, improving spindle utilization on long runs. For a buyer, that means a proven, higher-capacity bar-feeding solution that lifts throughput on a fixed or sliding-headstock lathe at a used-machine investment rather than the cost of new.
