Overview

The DN Solutions LYNX 2100 LA is the long-bed variant of the LYNX 2100 A, stretching the Z-axis from 340 mm to 560 mm to handle shaft work and longer components that won't fit on the standard model. It keeps the same 6-inch chuck, 6,000 RPM spindle, and linear-guide construction, just with more room in the Z direction.

The spindle delivers 15 kW (20 hp) with 127 N-m (94 ft-lb) of torque at up to 6,000 RPM. Max turning diameter stays at 350 mm (14 in), but max turning length jumps to 550 mm (22 in) — a 67% increase over the standard A. That extra length opens up work like drive shafts, valve stems, long bushings, and hydraulic piston rods that need more Z travel than the compact models provide.

X-axis travel is 205 mm with Z at 560 mm. Rapids are unchanged at 30 m/min on X and 36 m/min on Z. The 12-station turret gives you plenty of tool positions. The machine grows modestly in length to 2,540 mm and adds 300 kg, coming in at 3,400 kg (7,496 lb) on a 2,540 mm x 1,595 mm footprint.

The LA runs FANUC control and shares all the same programming, tooling, and operator interface as the rest of the LYNX 2100 family. If you've got a LYNX 2100 A on the floor and need more Z travel for a specific job mix, the LA is a direct complement — same learning curve, same tooling, same setup procedures, just longer parts.

For shops that primarily turn short parts but occasionally get shaft work, the LA variant is the safer buy. You'll use the extra Z travel when you need it and never miss it on short parts. The modest cost and size premium over the standard A is easy to justify.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

550 mm (22 in) max turning length handles shaft work and longer components that won't fit on the standard 2100 A
6,000 RPM spindle speed reaches proper surface speeds on small-diameter aluminum and brass parts
12-station turret provides ample tooling for complex multi-operation parts
Same programming, tooling, and operator interface as the entire LYNX 2100 family for shop-wide consistency
30/36 m/min rapids maintain fast cycle times even with the longer bed
Modest size and weight increase over the standard A — only 220 mm longer and 300 kg heavier
FANUC control with conversational programming support lowers the operator learning curve

Limitations

6-inch chuck limits workholding for larger-diameter parts — the LB variant offers an 8-inch chuck with similar Z travel
No live tooling, sub-spindle, or Y-axis — purely 2-axis turning only
Linear guide construction trades some rigidity for speed versus box-way designs
20 hp spindle motor limits aggressive roughing on larger-diameter tough materials
560 mm Z-axis travel still falls short for parts longer than about 22 inches — step up to PUMA 4100 series for more

Best For

Shops turning shafts, valve stems, piston rods, and components between 13 and 22 inches long Job shops needing flexibility to handle both short chuck work and longer between-centers parts Medical, hydraulic, and pneumatic component manufacturers making elongated precision turned parts Facilities wanting to standardize on the LYNX 2100 platform with different bed lengths for different jobs Bar feeding applications where the extra Z travel accommodates longer part-off lengths

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What's the difference between the LYNX 2100 LA and the LYNX 2100 A?

The LA adds 220 mm of Z-axis travel (560 mm vs 340 mm), extending the max turning length from 330 mm to 550 mm. The machine is 220 mm longer and 300 kg heavier. Everything else — spindle, chuck, rapids, turret, control — is identical.

02 Should I buy the LA even if most of my parts are short?

If you occasionally get shaft work or longer parts, the LA is worth the small premium. You'll never be limited by Z travel, and it handles short parts exactly as well as the standard A. The modest cost and size increase is easy to justify for the added flexibility.

03 Can I use a tailstock on the LYNX 2100 LA?

Yes, the longer bed accommodates a programmable tailstock for shaft support. This is particularly important for the LA variant since its longer turning lengths often involve slender parts that benefit from tailstock support to maintain accuracy and prevent deflection.

04 How does the LA compare to the LYNX 2100 LB?

Same long bed with 560 mm Z-axis travel. The LA has a 6-inch chuck with 6,000 RPM and 127 N-m torque. The LB has an 8-inch chuck with 4,500 RPM and 169 N-m torque. Pick based on your chuck size needs — smaller parts favor the LA's higher speed, bigger parts favor the LB's larger grip.
