Rugged, reliable, easy to use and install.

LYNX has all your cutting needs in mind.

The LYNX was designed to fill all your two-axis contour cutting needs. The unique concept of the LYNX was to combine a high performance CNC control with the world renowned Linatrol tracing and servo-drive systems. The resulting single integrated system... the LYNX ... is a rugged, dependable cutting control that is extremely easy to use. Also, installation is greatly simplified as no external interface or controls to the cutting machine are required ... just connect the torch lifters and gas solenoids directly to the LYNX. This eliminates interface complications often encountered with competitors systems. Furthermore, the LYNX provides the flexibility to adapt to most cutting machines in operation today. Although primarily used with plasma and oxy-fuel cutting processes, the LYNX can bereadily applied to several other cutting applications, including high pressure water jet, hot wire, router and others.

With over 40 years in the cutting control business, you know Linatrol can come through
with a rugged, dependable CNC cutting system that can fulfill all your cutting needs.

Hardware Specifications
