FAQ Section
What makes the Lynx 2100LMSB ideal for complete part processing?
The Lynx 2100LMSB includes both a main and sub spindle with synchronized C-axis control, enabling front and back machining in a single setup. This drastically reduces handling time, improves part accuracy, and opens the door to full-cycle automation.
How does the sub-spindle work in tandem with the main spindle?
The sub-spindle is capable of high-speed (6,000 rpm) rotation and can synchronize with the main spindle up to 4,500 rpm for “on-the-fly” part transfer. It includes an internal coolant-flush system and a programmable pneumatic ejector for chip-free, safe part handling.
What is the advantage of dual C-axis functionality?
C-axis control on both spindles enables independent or synchronized milling, drilling, and contouring operations. This means you can machine both ends of a part—including complex features—without removing it from the machine, boosting precision and productivity.
What tooling system does the turret use?
The BMT-45 turret supports live tooling on all 12 stations and indexes to 24 total positions. It features a curvic coupling with 50 kN of clamping force and ±0.0005° repeatability. All standard rotary tools are Preci-Flex® ready, offering rigidity and quick-change efficiency.
Is the Lynx 2100LMSB automation-ready?
Absolutely. It comes standard with a part catcher, part conveyor, barfeed interface, and coolant flush system. With optional 1,000 PSI coolant and robotic part offloading, the machine can run lights-out for long durations with minimal operator supervision.
