The MRX-B can be configured to suit individual customer requirements. The Linear-8 tool changer keeps the operation very simple, while the Roto-10 changer increases the process speed. Highest processing speed can be achieved by combining the Roto-10 magazine with the water jet cutting head. Modular expansion of the machine length and free choice of running direction allow for a wide range for customer configurations. The system is also part of the SplitFin processing solution.

Our mission could not be more clear and more necessary: We have a duty to explain what just happened, and why, and what it means for you. We need clear-eyed journalism that helps you understand what really matters. Reporting that brings clarity in increasingly chaotic times. Reporting that is driven by truth, not by what people in power want you to believe.

The MRX-B WJ achieves extremely fast cycle times. For a shower door with two Mickey Mouse cut-outs and a handle hole the system needs less than 90 seconds. Processing the same door with ground cut-outs takes less than two and a half minutes. These rapid processing times are enabled by technical refinements. For example, positioning the water jet cutting head directly below the processing spindle on the same axle allows faster changes between tools and waterjet processing. Furthermore, mounting the tool changer directly on the processing spindle speeds up the tool changes, right at the processing location where the tool is required. This minimizes unproductive idle times.

Fresnel Effect

The most important part of a lighthouse might be one of the beautiful tools hidden inside of it: the Fresnel lens, a breakthrough that changed seafaring and saved lives.

Our mission is to provide clear, accessible journalism that empowers you to stay informed and engaged in shaping our world. By becoming a Vox Member, you directly strengthen our ability to deliver in-depth, independent reporting that drives meaningful change.

As the above video shows, these lenses satisfied a need for lighthouses that could shine farther and through dense layers of fog. The Fresnel lens, invented by Augustin-Jean Fresnel, helped do that by capturing all the light coming from a lamp, then magnifying and steering it in one direction. Suddenly, lighthouses became more useful and shipwrecks diminished.

The drilling and milling centre operates fully automatically and supports data links to external systems. Graphically supported entry of processing programs and automatic selection of all drilling and milling parameters make operation easy and error-free.

Versatility is an important asset of the MRX-B for glass processing: It can be used for drilling, milling, countersinking and grinding. Drill and countersunk holes can be processed just as efficiently as complex corners, edges and inner cut-outs. The MRX-B WJ version (the WJ stand for WaterJet) adds the advantage of the optional water jet cutter, which significantly speeds up cut-out processes.

The LiSEC MRX-B, optionally available with water jet technology, is a fully automatic milling and drilling machine for glass that delivers high performance combined with easy operation.

Fresnel lenses are still in operation today. According to the US Lighthouse Society, more than 75 Fresnel lenses are in use in American lighthouses, and businesses such as Dan Spinella’s Artworks Florida craft replicas that capture the beauty — and functionality — of the 19th-century breakthrough.
