The Swiss LNS Group — well known for its Tryton, Express and Sprint bar-feeders — has introduced a model designed for use with sliding-head machines, as used by high-precision industries such as medical, connectors and electronics.

The Express 112 — available in the UK from the manufacturer’s subsidiary LNS Turbo UK Ltd (www.lns-europe.com) — accommodates bar from 0.8 to 12mm in diameter.

Yann Jakob, sales director (Western Europe), says: “The Express 112 is very compact — barely longer than the maximum bar length.

“Moreover, two patented systems guarantee excellent performance at high rotational speeds. The side-loading magazine has a maximum
capacity of 30 bars.”
