Lyn-Tron Santa Claus?
Friday, December 11th, 2009
Did you know Santa Claus has mad Davenport machining skills?? Who knew?!? Apparently when Santa isn’t busy getting ready for his all nighter around the world, he spends most of his time setting up jobs on the Davenport multi-spindle machines at Lyn-Tron. This Santa is not your average mall Santa. He is the real deal! I dare you to try tugging on that beard of his to see if it’s fake. You’ll be in for quite a surprise! Santa enjoys spending time in the Spokane, WA area. He books many appearance jobs around the city and spreads holiday cheer to all. Another clue this is the REAL Santa is that he donates all the money he receives from his appearances to local charities. If that’s not a sign of the real Santa Claus, then I don’t know what is. Lyn-Tron is proud to have Santa as one of their own!
(Thanks Ed!!)
Manufacturing Point of View
Monday, August 17th, 2009Over 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.
