Why LM 2000-KT / LM 2000-NC?

One platform, two variants

The units in the forming area are cam-controlled on the LM 2000-KT and servo-controlled on the LM 2000-NC. The manufacturer positions the KT for medium to large batches (few variants) and the NC for small to medium batches (many variants).

Standard tool interfaces

The press area is compatible with Meusburger SBP 400 and SBH 400 standard cutting frames; the module stations in the linear area have standard interfaces and a zero-point clamping system with hydraulic clamping. Tools can be shared across the Bihler Modular Series machines (LM 2000-KT/-NC, BIMERIC, GRM-NC).

Up to 15 movements, plus added processes

Each of the five module stations in the linear area offers up to three movements from three directions (top, bottom, 3rd level). The platform can be extended with modules for screw joining (MSE 250), thread forming (GSE 250), laser welding (LSM 250) and insulator assembly (MMI 250).

Variants

LM 2000-KT

Cam-controlled slide units in the forming area (max. 31 kN, stroke max. 28 mm); up to 500 1/min. Manual quicklift to reach the set-up and maintenance position without changing the cam; cams are replaced with a quick-change system.

Suited to: Medium to large batches, few variants

LM 2000-NC

Servo units in the forming area (max. 31 kN, stroke max. 100 mm); up to 250 1/min. Operating stroke, position and motion profile are freely programmable; manual interventions such as cam changes and stroke position adjustment are no longer needed.

Suited to: Small to medium batches, many variants

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the LM 2000-KT and the LM 2000-NC?

Both are the same machine platform: 2,000 mm processing length, 400 kN press, strip up to 80 mm wide. They differ in the processing units in the linear area. The LM 2000-KT has cam-controlled slide units and reaches 500 1/min; the LM 2000-NC has servo units, reaches 250 1/min, and its stroke, position and motion profile are freely programmable.

Which cutting frames and tools does the LM 2000 use?

The press area is compatible with Meusburger SBP 400 and SBH 400 standard cutting frames. The module stations in the linear area have standard interfaces and a zero-point clamping system with hydraulic clamping; tools can be shared across the Bihler Modular Series machines (LM 2000-KT/-NC, BIMERIC, GRM-NC).

Which processes can be added besides forming?

The MSE 250 screw joining, GSE 250 thread forming, LSM 250 laser welding and MMI 250 insulator assembly modules can be added. Their software is included in the VC 1 control as standard, and each module can be set up in different positions to suit the process.
