By pressing the emergency stop button located on the remote control, the functions of the bar feeder and the lathe are immediately stopped. LNS or its local representative, may not be held responsible for possible accidents or property damage, whether caused directly or not, by any means whatsoever, if certain safety devices have not been included.
Page 11
CHAPTER 1: BASIC NOTIONS The installation is a very important phase that, if neglected, could seriously impede the operation of the bar feeder. The distance between the bar feeder and the lathe influences greatly the quality of the guiding. The further the bar feeder is from the spindle - and therefore, away from the clamping system - the larger the non-guided part of the bar will be.
Page 12
CHAPTER 1: BASIC NOTIONS To obtain a perfect insertion inside the collet of the bar feeder, the bars must be chamfered concentrically (at the rear) at 30°. At the feeding process, it is recommended to deburr the bar at the front, to avoid possible catching during the introduction of the bar inside the spindle.

When sea or air transports it, the second solution is recommended. Regardless of the type of packaging, the uncrating and lifting instructions recommended by LNS must be observed in order to prevent any injuries to persons and damages to objects. These instructions are stapled to the crate of the bar feeder.
Page 21
Take out the parts, and place them in an easily accessible area for mounting the bar feeder For mounting and installing the bar feeder, it is advisable to contact LNS or its local representative. The latter cannot be held responsible for any malfunction resulting from an incorrect installation in which they did not take part.
Page 22
The distance between the lathe and the bar feeder should not exceed 20 mm. Should an obstacle impose a greater distance, contact LNS or its local representative. The area around the lathe and the bar feeder must be cleared to allow for their maintenance and handling.
Page 23
The alignment may be carried out using a nylon string, an optical tool, etc. If you do not have any alignment tools, contact LNS or its local representative so they may take care of the bar feeder installation. On each foot, loosen the lock nuts (A) of the leveling screws (B). Then, make sure that the weight of the bar feeder is evenly distributed over the 12 support points.
Page 24
CHAPTER 3: SETTING INTO OPERATION The bar feeder is set at factory to the axis height of the lathe to equip with. If a different setup is required, please proceed as follows: Two different supports are available, depending on the axis height to reach : 900 -1000 055-008-014 1000 -1200...
Page 25
CHAPTER 3: SETTING INTO OPERATION Once the bar feeder is in place, and perfectly aligned, it should be anchored to the ground to make it stable. To accomplish this, 8 anchorage points (A) have been provided. 8 anchorage bolts (B) must be furnished by the client (min. M10 x 100 mm / 1/2" x 4"). Once the anchoring bolts are tightened, check the alignment again, and correct it if necessary.
Page 26
Particular attention should be given to the handling of electrical elements because of risks of electrocution. In case of possible electrical malfunctions, it is advisable to contact LNS or its local representative. It is strictly prohibited to make adjustments as long as the bar feeder is under electrical power.
Page 27
The voltage of the bar feeder is indicated on the identification plate. The interface cable(s), between the bar feeder and the lathe is (are) provided by LNS. Although an example of an interface diagram is provided, the diagram for the interface corresponding to your device, essential when making the electrical connection, is located inside the electrical cabinet.

Page 29
The voltage of the bar feeder is indicated on the identification plate. The LNS bar feeders are equipped with their own thermal protection systems (breakers, thermal relays and fuses, etc.). The power supply for the bar feeder should be connected to the output of a breaker mounted in the electrical control box of the lathe (10 A max.).
Page 30
All signals from the bar feeder to the lathe shall be powered by the +24 VDC of the lathe. For the other types of connections, please contact LNS, or their local representative. This signal is part of a safety link (Emergency Stop circuit) of the bar feeder. XT8-XT9 corresponds to the Emergency Stop signal of the lathe.
Page 31
CHAPTER 3: SETTING INTO OPERATION When the bar feeder is in alarm mode, the feeding pusher control signal should also de-energize. When the bar feeder is in normal operation, the R1 relay signal is energized. In the event of an alarm or break in the emergency stop circuit, this relay is de-energized.
Page 32
CHAPTER 3: SETTING INTO OPERATION The options described below are an integral part of the standard equipment of the LNS bar feeders. These signals, however, are not required for the proper operation of the devices, or the safety locking for protecting persons and materials.
Page 34
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION The motor for the bar feeder is equipped with a built-in absolute encoder that continuously controls the position of the pusher. When the bar feeder is switched off or there is a power failure, this position is kept in the memory by the amplifier.
Page 35
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION The ergonomic and user-friendly remote control with a clear built-in display facilitates the handling of the bar feeder. Depending on the sequence under way, the bar feeder gives access only to those functions which are available, thus avoiding any incorrect handling, and reducing the access time to the necessary functions.
Page 36
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION The liquid crystal display provides the operator with all the necessary data, both for handling the bar feeder and for maintenance. The upper portion of the display has eleven lines and is reserved for the reading of text. Error messages are usually displayed with their diagnostics.
Page 37
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION These keys are located right below the display. The functions attributed to them are indicated on the display by icons. As the operator advances in the handling, the functions of the keys are automatically reattributed. The risk of error in handling is therefore virtually reduced given that the proposed functions always correspond to the circumstance and availability of the bar feeder.
Page 38
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION To facilitate these tasks, the MOVE S2 can be equipped with a retraction system, which allows the operator to move the bar feeder. The rigidity of the system guarantees a perfect alignment when the bar feeder is in working position. A safety switch impedes any handling as long as the bar feeder is not in operational position.
Page 39
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION Please read the safety instructions provided at the beginning of this manual before handling the following devices. The guiding elements are sensitive to corrosive products. Please do wipe or clean the element with any corrosive detergent. Use a dry cloth only to wipe the oil off the element. Hydraulic oil is injected in the guiding element, which permits to hold the rotating bar in the center of the guiding element.

+ 1 mm), but should always be larger than that of the diameter of the feeding pusher. For inserting and removing the spindle reductions, move the bar feeder using the retraction device (Chapter 4/ Point 3.1.1). Spindle reduction tubes are available from LNS, upon request. MOVE S2...
Page 43
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION Independent of the length of the bar feeder, the bar magazine includes 3 supports. The bar stocks are lying on the hooks of these supports. When charged on the chain loader, the bar stocks should be against the front limiter (A). When loading a new bar, a gear motor moves up the bars into the bar feeder on the dropping fingers, which slow down and position the bar stock at the guiding axis.
Page 44
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION To validate a parameter or a value, hold the key corresponding to [ENTER] until the icon disappears. The end of bar position determines the moment when the bar feed enters the loading cycle. Usually, the end of bar position is adjusted as closely as possible behind the clamping system of the lathe (approximately 5 mm or a 1/4"...

Page 50
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION When the machining of a part requires several openings of the clamping device (for ex.: a long part, or transfer of the part to the sub-spindle), some interface conflicts may occur during the feeding process. It is important for the bar feeder to be “informed”...
Page 51
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION When machining remnants (A) of significant length, a second mode of production may be selected to machine the remainder of the stock (depending on the capabilities of the lathe). The lathe starts a second machining program and manufactures shorter parts.
Page 52
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION This parameter determines whether the lathe or the bar feed will control the positioning of the part. Additional parameter (option): The turret is parked in position: the turret travels to the point the bar stock will be pushed to and waits that the bar feed has pushed the material to this point.
Page 53
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION The end of bar position determines the moment when the bar feed enters the loading cycle. Usually, the end of bar position is adjusted as closely as possible behind the clamping system of the lathe (approximately 5 mm or a 1/4" behind the chuck jaws or collet pads).This will provide minimum bar stock remnant.
Page 54
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION This parameter allows to adapt the language in which the messages will appear, depending on the country of destination of the bar feeder This parameter defines whether the measures will be indicated in millimeters or in inches. This operation allows the bar feeder to find the original position of the servo motor and the parameters when and if these have been lost.
Page 55
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION The service parameters allow to configure the bar feeder in its environment and to adapt the interface connected to the lathe. These parameters are protected with a password, because only LNS (or certified) technician is authorized to modify them.
Page 56
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION The bar feeder autonomy is depending on the bar stocks placed by the operator on the chain loader. This task can be performed at any time in the production cycle, without needing to open the main access cover.
Page 58
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION A regular cleaning of the bar feeder will optimize its quality of working and increase its lifetime. Wipe down the outside of the bar feeder with a cloth and any regular detergent. For cleaning the inside of the bar feeder, use a cloth or a smooth brush, however, do not use these on any of the rollers or any other parts made of synthetic materials.

CHAPTER 4: OPERATION To replace the fuse: Unscrew the cap a quarter of a turn to the left; Remove and replace the fuse with an identical one, and put the cap back. On the primary side, the transformer accepts a voltage of 200-480 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz. Measure the power provided by the lathe, and, if necessary, adapt the cable on the power terminal block (A).
Page 64
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION The servo amplifier enables the programmable controller to control the movements of the motor. The input values, as well as the position of the pusher carrier, are continuously registered. The values are saved by means of a battery, and, therefore, the axes do not need to be placed at zero when the bar feeder is powered on.
