Overview
Shaft-type parts are what the DN Solutions LYNX 2100 LA is laid out for. It pairs a 6 in chuck and a 6,000 rpm spindle with the long bed of the range, giving a maximum turning length of 550 mm (22 in) on 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel. Maximum turning diameter is 350 mm (14 in) and X travel is 205 mm (8 in).
The spindle is the one DN Solutions also puts in the short LYNX 2100 A: 15 kW (20 hp), 127 N·m (94 ft-lb), 6,000 rpm. What changes is the bed. The LYNX 2100 A stops at 330 mm (13 in) of turning length, so this model reaches about 67% further, and it pays for that with weight, 3,400 kg (7,496 lb) against 3,100 kg (6,834 lb). Length on the floor is 2,540 mm (100 in), with a width of 1,595 mm (63 in) and a height of 1,693 mm (67 in).
A long part in a small chuck raises the question of support. A slender workpiece near 550 mm (22 in) will deflect under the tool if it is held at one end only, and DN's table for this model gives no tailstock or steady-rest figures. Ask what support is supplied, and how much of the Z travel it takes up, before quoting long shafts on this machine. The same applies to bar work: no bar capacity or spindle bore is listed.
The second use for the long bed is tooling clearance. With 560 mm (22 in) of Z, a short part can be faced, drilled deep and bored with long bars without the turret running out of room to retract, something the short-bed models cannot offer. Z rapids of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) keep those longer retracts quick; X moves at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm). The turret has 12 stations and is servo-driven according to DN's series description, which also lists a rear-side dual-purpose chip conveyor and grease-type lubrication.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 550 mm (22 in) maximum turning length, about 67% more than the 330 mm (13 in) of the LYNX 2100 A
- Keeps the 6,000 rpm, 15 kW (20 hp) spindle of the short-bed 6 in model for small-diameter work
- 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel leaves room for deep drills and long boring bars on shorter parts
- 12-station turret, where the 10 in LYNX 2100 LC on the same bed length has 10 stations
- Long retract moves are covered at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in Z
Limitations
- Spindle torque is 127 N·m (94 ft-lb); the LYNX 2100 LC offers 269 N·m (198 ft-lb) on the same Z travel
- The table gives no tailstock or steady-rest figures, so support for long slender parts has to be confirmed with DN
- No bar capacity or spindle bore is listed for this model
- Turning only as listed: there is no live-tool speed and no Y travel in the table
- At 3,400 kg (7,496 lb) it is about 10% heavier than the LYNX 2100 A

Frequently Asked Questions
01
In working terms, the LYNX 2100 LA turns 550 mm (22 in) against 330 mm (13 in) on the LYNX 2100 A, and its Z travel is 560 mm (22 in) against 340 mm (13 in). The chuck size, spindle speed, power, torque, X travel and turning diameter are the same on both. The long bed adds weight: 3,400 kg (7,496 lb) against 3,100 kg (6,834 lb) for the LYNX 2100 A.
02
DN Solutions' table for this model does not say. It lists no tailstock travel, quill or thrust figures and no steady rest. Since the point of the long bed is parts up to 550 mm (22 in), confirm with DN what support is included and how it affects the usable length before ordering.
03
Both have 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel and a 350 mm (14 in) turning diameter. The LYNX 2100 LA has a 6 in chuck, 6,000 rpm, 15 kW (20 hp), 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) and 12 stations. The LYNX 2100 LC has a 10 in chuck, 3,500 rpm, 18.5 kW (25 hp), 269 N·m (198 ft-lb) and 10 stations, with a turning length of 537 mm (21 in). Small, fast work favours the LA; large diameters and heavy roughing favour the LC.
04
The machine is 2,540 mm (100 in) long, 1,595 mm (63 in) wide and 1,693 mm (67 in) high, and it weighs 3,400 kg (7,496 lb). DN Solutions lists a chip conveyor at the rear for the series, so the installation needs clear access behind the machine as well.
05
No milling capability is listed. The table for this model shows X and Z travel only, with no live-tool speed and no Y travel. The LYNX 2600 Y, a larger machine with a 10 in chuck, lists live tools at 6,000 rpm and 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel, and weighs 5,750 kg (12,677 lb).
