    Lyn-Tron improves RFQ experience

    Friday, December 10th, 2010

    Being one of five estimators inside of Lyn-Tron I see a variety of quotes shuffling across my desk on a daily basis. I’m always impressed with how our diligent sales team responds to the customer’s quotes. We’re currently implementing a new quote procedure / form initiating on the sales end. Our customers should see this new form sent electronically to their email after quotes have been entered into our system.

    We’re always looking to evolve our communication medium with our customers. This was more evident then when Lyn-Tron attend the recent National Industrial Fastener Show. We met with a huge number of customers.  Nearly every customer had nothing but rave reviews for our manufacturing quality, service and customer experience. To read more about the recent trip to the NIFS, view our Facebook page along with pictures.

    Have you ever needed to have a part manufactured as quickly as possible? Maybe you have a customer and their production line is down and they need help? At Lyn-Tron we’re flexible and listen to our customers needs. For a nominal fee, we can preform a “break-in” and expedite your order through the manufacturing process. Be sure to mention “break-in” to your Lyn-Tron account representative before placing your order.

    We also have a online form where you can submit your request for quote at http://lyntron.com/about/quote

    Shearing machine provides more diversity

    Thursday, July 29th, 2010

    For Lyn-Tron, Screw Machines have been the backbone of our success along with highly experienced Technicians in our field. During tough times it is hard to justify the expenditures of new equipment especially something new to us. But to stay ahead of an ever changing environment we have purchased a State-of-the Art Shearing Machine capable of making pins for aerospace & defense, staples used in the medical field and small tubing for needles. These parts and others like them can be produced at speeds of up to 350 pieces per minute and capable of shearing up to 5/32 inch in 302 spring temper steel.

    Here at Lyn-Tron we pride ourselves in the most up to date equipment. Not only to stay ahead of our competitors, but to give our customers the best price and quality to go along with the best service in the business.

    Lyn-Tron to offer NAS parts

    Thursday, February 18th, 2010

    The National Aerospace Stardard is a requirement that is found aerospace industry.  One major area of focus for NAS style parts are that they have a tight tolerance during manufacturing.  Here at Lyn-Tron, we pride ourselves on the ability to machine parts to tight tolerances while providing near mirror like finishes.  We’ve created a good deal of our catalog parts to work in place of NAS style part, but without the NAS part number designation.  Sometime during the first quarter of 2010 look for some changes at Lyn-Tron concerning NAS style parts.

    Sincerely,
    Jeff Nichols
    Director of Information Technology

    Manufacturing Point of View

    Monday, August 17th, 2009

    Over the years it is amazing how machining parts has changed from when I first started in the business. From the type of tooling and coatings that are now available, to the machines and the evolutions they have made.  Take a Davenport 5 spindle machine for instance.

     

    First made in 1902, and still widely used today, it is one of the fastest screw machines in the industry still. And now they have installed Servo’s and precision ball bearing in the spindles to achieve not only better surface finishes, but hold tighter tolerances too.

    It manufactures parts for virtually for every business. Since the Davenport is made in the U.S.A., it is also easy to find repair parts without the hassle of going oversees and paying much more. Lyn-Tron is fortunate to have 30 Davenport machines with highly skilled technicians to repair, set-up, and operate. www.davenportmachine.com/

     

    The CNC (Computer Numerical Control) was first designed at MIT in the late 40’s and really started to show up in the machine shop in the late 70’s to early 80’s. Able to produce micro small to car size parts with extreme close tolerances, and produce parts for any industry, these machines would be a must in any Machine Shop. Lyn-Tron has 11 Star Swiss Sliding Head Stock Machines ranging in years from 2001 to 08 and sizes from 10MM to 32MM and up to 7 Axis. http://www.starcnc.com/

     

    The Rotary Transfer Machines have come into play looking for faster cycle times and was thought of mostly for automotive type work. Not the case. We use two type of Rotary Transfer Machine here at Lyn-Tron. Both serve a purpose. The first is a Eubama made in Germany that uses coil material and fits nice for long runners where we can achieve excellent efficiency’s. Lyn-Tron has 5 Rotary Transfer Machines.  www.eubama.de/

     

    The newest Rotary Transfer on the market today is the Epic R/T 25/12, which is a full CNC with 25MM capacity, an average efficiency rating of 85-90%, and an automatic bar loader. Great for either short or long runs, and able to handle the tough materials, these are high performance machines. Lyn-Tron has purchased 2 in the last year and we are glad we did.
