Overview

The DN Solutions LYNX 2100LB is the long-Z, 8 in chuck member of the LYNX 2100 two-axis lathe family. It turns up to 350 mm (14 in) in diameter and 550 mm (22 in) in length, on a 4,500 rpm spindle rated at 15 kW (20 hp) and 169 N·m (125 ft-lb), with a 12-station turret.

Two rows of DN's table place it among its siblings. Against the LYNX 2100 B, which has the same 8 in chuck and the same spindle figures, the LB stretches Z travel from 340 mm (13 in) to 560 mm (22 in) and turning length from 330 mm (13 in) to 550 mm (22 in). Against the LYNX 2100 LA, which has the same Z travel, it trades speed for torque: the LYNX 2100 LA runs to 6,000 rpm with 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) behind a 6 in chuck, so the LB has about 33% more torque from the same 15 kW (20 hp).

That combination suits shaft-type parts in steel: more grip and more low-speed torque than the 6 in machines, and Z travel for parts the short models cannot reach along. X travel stays at 205 mm (8 in). The larger chuck brings a 4,500 rpm ceiling, so small-diameter finishing in aluminium or brass runs below the surface speed the 6,000 rpm LYNX 2100 LA would give. The table has no tailstock row either. Before planning slender work near 550 mm (22 in), ask DN how the part is to be supported.

Rapids are 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on X and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on Z. DN gives the machine as 2,570 × 1,595 × 1,693 mm (101 × 63 × 67 in) in length, width and height, and 3,400 kg (7,496 lb). For the series as a whole it lists a servo-driven turret, a full slideway cover against leakage and chip ingress, grease lubrication, a rear-side dual-purpose chip conveyor and the EOP (Easy Operation Package). Check which of these are on the machine quoted.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

8 in chuck backed by 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) of spindle torque from a 15 kW (20 hp) motor
550 mm (22 in) turning length and 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel, against 330 mm (13 in) and 340 mm (13 in) on the LYNX 2100 B
350 mm (14 in) maximum turning diameter from a machine 2,570 mm (101 in) long and 1,595 mm (63 in) wide
12-station turret, with rapids of 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on X and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on Z
DN lists a servo-driven turret, full slideway cover and grease lubrication for the series

Limitations

Spindle speed stops at 4,500 rpm; the 6 in LYNX 2100 LA with the same Z travel reaches 6,000 rpm
Turning only: the table for this model has no rotary tool, Y-axis or sub-spindle row, so milled features need a second operation
No tailstock figure is listed, so support for parts near the 550 mm (22 in) limit has to be confirmed with DN
X travel is 205 mm (8 in), the same as the short models: the extra Z adds length capacity, not diameter

Best For

Shafts and long turned parts up to 550 mm (22 in) 8 in chuck work that needs 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) of torque Two-axis turning with a 12-station turret Steel turning where 4,500 rpm is enough

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the LYNX 2100LB differ from the LYNX 2100 B?

In length. Both have an 8 in chuck, 4,500 rpm, 15 kW (20 hp) and 169 N·m (125 ft-lb). The LYNX 2100 B has 340 mm (13 in) of Z travel and a 330 mm (13 in) turning length and weighs 3,100 kg (6,834 lb). The LYNX 2100LB has 560 mm (22 in) of Z, turns 550 mm (22 in) and weighs 3,400 kg (7,496 lb).

02 What separates the LYNX 2100LB from the LYNX 2100 LA?

The chuck and the spindle range. The LYNX 2100 LA has a 6 in chuck, 6,000 rpm and 127 N·m (94 ft-lb). The LYNX 2100LB has an 8 in chuck, 4,500 rpm and 169 N·m (125 ft-lb). Motor power, travels, turning envelope and the 3,400 kg (7,496 lb) weight are the same in DN's table, so the choice is between speed for small diameters and torque for larger ones.

03 How large a part can the LYNX 2100LB turn?

Up to 350 mm (14 in) in diameter and 550 mm (22 in) in length, with 205 mm (8 in) of X travel and 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel. DN's table for this model gives no bar capacity and no tailstock figure, so ask for both if the work is bar-fed or slender.

04 Does the LYNX 2100LB have live tooling?

No rotary tool speed is listed for it; the table shows X and Z travel and a 12-station turret only. Among its listed siblings the LYNX 2600 Y has rotary tools at 6,000 rpm, with a 10 in chuck and 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel, but it is a larger machine at 5,750 kg (12,677 lb).

05 How much room and floor loading does the LYNX 2100LB need?

DN lists 2,570 × 1,595 × 1,693 mm (101 × 63 × 67 in) as length, width and height, and a machine weight of 3,400 kg (7,496 lb). Those are the machine's own figures; leave space beyond them for the rear-side chip conveyor DN lists for the series, for door opening and for service access.
