Overview of the MLX Multi-Point Lock Router
The MLX is a computer controlled machine designed to rout the edge and face
of a door for most types of
multi-point lock systems as well as standard cylinder locks, strike plates and simple top and bot
-
tom flush bolts. The counter rotating spindles also make it possible to rout through the door edge
or an attached astragle without tear-out. Standard G code programming is used to create template
programs that can be selected directly at the touch screen.
Two counter rotating horizontal spindles rout slots for connecting rods as well as pockets for
latches. Afterwards a vertical router/drill plunges through the door stile to machine for the lock
trim holes larger than 10mm (0.397"). Servo motors are used to move the cutting head horizon
-
tally (X axis) vertically (Y axis), and depth of cut (Z axis) on the edge of the door. For the lock
face machining the location and shapes are also computer controlled. The feed table will use non-
marking plastic rolls that will allow the door to be rolled into and out of the machine.
