24 CHAPTER 3: SETTING INTO OPERATION
TRYTON 107/112
2. MOUNTING
The bar feed system is delivered completely assembled. Because of this, it is possible to proceed directly
to its alignment when in place behind the lathe.
If the bar-feeder is equipped with a lateral pivoting device then, for safety reasons, the
4 safety screws (S) must not be removed until after the bar-feeder has been anchored
to the ground.
Depending to the type of the lathe, the installation of some adaptation parts is needed between the lathe
and the feeder. Please check with your local LNS agent.
2.1. Alignment
Before proceeding with the alignment of the bar feed system, ensure that the lathe is
stable and preferably leveled.
The bar feed system must be positioned as nearest as possible from the lathe spindle.
When aligning, ensure that there is no reduction unit into the spindle.
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 their local representative so they may take care of the bar feed system installation.
• On each foot, loosen the lock nuts (A) of the leveling screws (B).
Then, make sure that the weight of the bar feed system is evenly distributed over the 8 support
points.
• Loosen the lock nuts (D) and make sure that the central screws (C) of the front and rear feet are
supported.
• Loosen the locking screw (E).
