FAQ Section
What type of parts is the Lynx 2100LB best suited for?
The Lynx 2100LB is designed for long-part turning applications that demand consistent accuracy and surface finish. With a maximum turning length of 21.6" and high-speed axis movement, it excels in applications like hydraulic cylinders, shafts, or aerospace components. The 2.625" bar capacity and programmable part catcher make it suitable for bar-fed operations with minimal operator intervention.
How does the extended bed affect machine footprint?
Even with its extended Z-axis travel of 22.0", the machine’s footprint remains compact at 101" x 63". This efficient layout ensures that facilities with space limitations can still benefit from the longer turning capabilities of the LB model. The machine's ergonomic design also enhances operator access, inspection, and tooling changes.
Does the Lynx 2100LB support high-pressure coolant systems?
Yes, the machine supports optional 145 PSI and 1,000 PSI coolant systems, in addition to the standard 65 PSI system. These high-pressure systems help clear chips from deep holes, reduce thermal deformation, and significantly extend tool life—especially during deep drilling or heavy-duty turning.
What are the advantages of the roller-type guideways in the Lynx 2100LB?
Roller-type linear motion guideways provide superior load-bearing capacity and rigidity compared to ball-type systems. On the 2100LB, they ensure stable, precise movement during heavy cuts and long cycles, helping maintain tight tolerances even under demanding workloads.
Can the Lynx 2100LB be automated for lights-out machining?
Absolutely. The machine includes a barfeed interface, programmable part catcher, and options for part conveyors or robot loaders. Its tool monitoring system and easy-to-use iHMI touchscreen with conversational programming support make it a strong candidate for unattended, high-volume production environments.
