Overview

With an 8 in chuck on the shortest bed of its range, the DN Solutions LYNX 2100 B is a two-axis lathe for short parts of larger diameter: flanges, discs and hubs up to 350 mm (14 in) across and 330 mm (13 in) long. The spindle is rated 15 kW (20 hp) and 169 N·m (125 ft-lb), with a top speed of 4,500 rpm.

Torque is the reason to choose this variant. DN Solutions fits the same 15 kW (20 hp) motor to the 6 in LYNX 2100 A, where it produces 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) and 6,000 rpm. The LYNX 2100 B trades that top speed for about 33% more torque, which is what a roughing pass on a wide face or a large bore asks for. Shops that need more again should look at the LYNX 2100 LC: a 10 in chuck, 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 269 N·m (198 ft-lb), though only at 3,500 rpm, with 10 turret stations and on the longer bed.

The working envelope is short and wide. X travel is 205 mm (8 in), Z travel is 340 mm (13 in), and the difference between Z travel and the listed turning length is small enough that tool overhang needs watching on deep bores. Rapids run at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in Z. Twelve turret stations give room for sister tools on long runs.

The frame weighs 3,100 kg (6,834 lb), the same as the 6 in model, and measures 2,350 × 1,595 × 1,693 mm (93 × 63 × 67 in) as length, width and height. For the series DN lists a servo-driven turret, a low vibration and noise spindle, grease-type lubrication, full slideway covers, the EOP operation package and a chip conveyor at the rear. The table shows no live tools on this model.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

169 N·m (125 ft-lb) of spindle torque from 15 kW (20 hp), about 33% more than the 6 in LYNX 2100 A
8 in chuck with a 350 mm (14 in) maximum turning diameter for discs, flanges and hubs
12 turret stations, two more than the 10 stations of the LYNX 2100 LC
Same 3,100 kg (6,834 lb) weight as the LYNX 2100 A, so the larger chuck does not change the rigging plan
Rapids of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in Z and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X

Limitations

Top speed is 4,500 rpm, a quarter below the 6,000 rpm of the LYNX 2100 A, which costs surface speed on small diameters
Turning length stops at 330 mm (13 in) on 340 mm (13 in) of Z travel
For heavier roughing the LYNX 2100 LC offers 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 269 N·m (198 ft-lb); this model stays at 15 kW (20 hp)
The table lists neither a live-tool speed nor Y travel, so milling and cross-drilling are not available as listed

Best For

Flanges, discs and hubs up to 350 mm (14 in) in diameter held in an 8 in chuck Roughing and finishing of short steel parts within 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) Chucking work no longer than 330 mm (13 in) Turning-only production that can fill a 12-station turret

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why choose the LYNX 2100 B over the LYNX 2100 A?

For the larger chuck and the torque. The LYNX 2100 B has an 8 in chuck and 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) at up to 4,500 rpm. The LYNX 2100 A has a 6 in chuck, 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) and 6,000 rpm. Motor power, travels, turning diameter, turning length and weight are identical, so the decision comes down to part diameter and how hard the roughing cuts are.

02 What is the largest part the LYNX 2100 B can turn?

DN Solutions lists a maximum turning diameter of 350 mm (14 in) and a maximum turning length of 330 mm (13 in). X travel is 205 mm (8 in) and Z travel is 340 mm (13 in). The 8 in chuck sets the practical gripping range, so a part near the diameter limit needs suitable jaws and a check of jaw swing clearance.

03 Is there a stronger spindle in the LYNX 2100 two-axis range?

Yes. The LYNX 2100 LC is rated 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 269 N·m (198 ft-lb) with a 10 in chuck, against 15 kW (20 hp) and 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) here. The LYNX 2100 LC runs to 3,500 rpm instead of 4,500 rpm, has 10 turret stations instead of 12, and weighs 3,450 kg (7,606 lb).

04 How many tools does the LYNX 2100 B turret hold?

The turret has 12 stations, and DN Solutions describes the turret of the series as servo-driven. No live-tool speed is listed for this model, so all 12 positions are for static turning, boring, drilling on centre and threading tools.

05 How big and heavy is the LYNX 2100 B?

It is 2,350 mm (93 in) long, 1,595 mm (63 in) wide and 1,693 mm (67 in) high, and it weighs 3,100 kg (6,834 lb). DN Solutions lists a rear-side chip conveyor for the series, so the space behind the machine has to be kept accessible.
