Overview

The DN Solutions LYNX 2100 A is the short-bed, 6 in chuck model of the LYNX 2100 two-axis lathes: 350 mm (14 in) maximum turning diameter, 330 mm (13 in) maximum turning length and a 6,000 rpm spindle on a 15 kW (20 hp) motor. Among the 2-axis variants it is the one arranged for speed on small work.

A look at its 8 in counterpart makes the point clear. The LYNX 2100 B shares the travels, the 15 kW (20 hp) motor and the 3,100 kg (6,834 lb) weight, but stops at 4,500 rpm and delivers 169 N·m (125 ft-lb). The LYNX 2100 A gives 127 N·m (94 ft-lb), about 25% less, and a third more top speed in return. On small diameters the extra rpm is what keeps surface speed where the insert wants it. On larger diameters in steel, torque runs out first and the B is the better match.

Travels are 205 mm (8 in) in X and 340 mm (13 in) in Z, with rapids of 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in Z. Z travel barely exceeds the turning length, so a long drill or boring bar eats into the part length that can be reached. Work that needs more room belongs on the LYNX 2100 LA, which keeps this spindle and extends Z to 560 mm (22 in).

The turret has 12 stations and DN Solutions describes it as servo-driven. Its series description also lists grease-type lubrication, a full slideway cover against leakage and chip ingress, an Easy Operation Package (EOP) and a rear-side dual-purpose chip conveyor. No live-tool speed and no Y travel are listed for this model, so anything milled or cross-drilled goes elsewhere.

On the floor the machine is 2,320 mm (91 in) long and 1,595 mm (63 in) wide, and it stands 1,693 mm (67 in) high.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

6,000 rpm spindle, a third above the 4,500 rpm of the 8 in LYNX 2100 B
15 kW (20 hp) motor behind a 6 in chuck, the same motor rating the 8 in LYNX 2100 B gets
12-station servo-driven turret, enough for a full set of turning, boring and threading tools
Z rapid of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) and X rapid of 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) over short travels
Weighs 3,100 kg (6,834 lb) and is 2,320 mm (91 in) long; the long-bed LYNX 2100 LA weighs 3,400 kg (7,496 lb)

Limitations

127 N·m (94 ft-lb) of spindle torque, about 25% below the 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) of the LYNX 2100 B
Maximum turning length is 330 mm (13 in); the LYNX 2100 LA reaches 550 mm (22 in) with the same spindle
Z travel of 340 mm (13 in) leaves almost no margin over the turning length for long drills and boring bars
No live-tool speed or Y travel is listed, so the machine is limited to turning operations

Best For

Small-diameter parts that benefit from a 6,000 rpm spindle Short chucking work up to 330 mm (13 in) long in a 6 in chuck High-volume turning where 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) Z rapids shorten each cycle Cells where a 2,320 mm (91 in) long machine fits and a longer bed would not

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the LYNX 2100 A and the LYNX 2100 B?

The chuck and the spindle. The LYNX 2100 A has a 6 in chuck, 6,000 rpm and 127 N·m (94 ft-lb). The LYNX 2100 B has an 8 in chuck, 4,500 rpm and 169 N·m (125 ft-lb). Both are rated 15 kW (20 hp), both turn 350 mm (14 in) in diameter and 330 mm (13 in) in length, and both weigh 3,100 kg (6,834 lb).

02 How long a part can the LYNX 2100 A turn?

DN Solutions lists 330 mm (13 in) as the maximum turning length, on 340 mm (13 in) of Z travel. If the part is longer, the LYNX 2100 LA has the same 6 in chuck, 6,000 rpm and 15 kW (20 hp) spindle with a turning length of 550 mm (22 in) and weighs 3,400 kg (7,496 lb).

03 Can the LYNX 2100 A mill or cross-drill?

Not as listed. The table for this model gives X and Z travel, a turning spindle and a 12-station turret, with no live-tool speed and no Y travel. Parts that need flats, keyways or off-centre holes have to be finished on another machine or on a LYNX variant whose table lists live tools.

04 How fast are the axes on the LYNX 2100 A?

Rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in Z. X travel is 205 mm (8 in) and Z travel is 340 mm (13 in), so positioning moves are short and tool-change clearance moves take little of the cycle.

05 What does the LYNX 2100 A need at installation?

Plan for a machine 2,320 mm (91 in) long, 1,595 mm (63 in) wide and 1,693 mm (67 in) high that weighs 3,100 kg (6,834 lb). DN Solutions lists a rear-side chip conveyor for the series, so leave access behind the machine. Electrical and air requirements are not in the table and should be confirmed with DN before the foundation and services are prepared.
