Overview

The DN Solutions LYNX 2100 LC is the biggest-chuck, long-bed variant of the LYNX 2100 family, pairing a 10-inch chuck with extended Z travel for shops that need more workholding grip than the 6- and 8-inch models can provide. It's the machine you reach for when parts are too big for the LB's 8-inch jaws but don't warrant stepping up to the heavier PUMA platform.

The spindle runs 18.5 kW (25 hp) with 269 N-m (198 ft-lb) of torque at up to 3,500 RPM. That's a significant torque bump over the LB's 169 N-m — you'll feel the difference on heavier facing cuts and larger-diameter OD work. Max turning diameter is 350 mm (14 in) and max turning length is 537 mm (21 in). Axis travels are 205 mm on X and 560 mm on Z, with rapids at 30/36 m/min.

The turret drops from 12 to 10 stations on the LC variant. That's because the larger chuck and spindle assembly changes the turret geometry slightly. Ten stations is still enough for most jobs, but if you're programming parts with 11 or 12 different tools, you'll need to get creative with combination tools or run a tool change mid-program.

The machine weighs 3,450 kg (7,606 lb) on a 2,570 mm x 1,602 mm footprint. It's essentially the same size as the LB, just slightly wider at 1,602 mm to accommodate the larger headstock. FANUC control keeps things consistent with the rest of the lineup.

The 10-inch chuck on a linear-guide compact lathe is an unusual combination. Most 10-inch machines are on heavier box-way platforms like the PUMA series. The LYNX 2100 LC gives you that chuck size with the speed and precision advantages of linear guides, at a lower price and weight. If your work doesn't involve heavy interrupted cuts that demand box-way rigidity, the LC stretches the LYNX platform to cover surprisingly large parts.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

10-inch chuck provides secure workholding for larger-diameter parts that 6- and 8-inch models can't grip
269 N-m (198 ft-lb) of torque is the highest in the LYNX 2100 lineup — handles heavier facing and OD cuts
25 hp spindle motor delivers more power than the 20 hp A and B variants for cutting tougher materials
Extended 560 mm Z travel handles shaft work and longer parts alongside the big-chuck chucking capability
Compact linear-guide platform gives you 10-inch capacity at lower weight and cost than box-way machines
30/36 m/min rapids maintain fast positioning for high-mix production efficiency

Limitations

3,500 RPM max spindle speed is the lowest in the LYNX 2100 family — small-diameter parts won't reach optimal surface speeds
10-station turret has 2 fewer positions than the A, B, LA, and LB variants, limiting complex multi-tool programs
Linear guides may lack sufficient rigidity for heavy interrupted cuts that a 10-inch chuck machine might encounter
No live tooling, Y-axis, or sub-spindle — purely 2-axis turning
Some shops may be better served by a PUMA 2600 if they're regularly pushing the LC's torque and rigidity limits

Best For

Shops needing 10-inch chuck capacity without the weight, cost, and footprint of a PUMA-class machine Turning larger-diameter flanges, couplings, and housings that require secure jaw grip on thinner walls Job shops where parts occasionally exceed 8-inch chuck capacity but don't justify a dedicated big lathe Production environments making medium-size parts in steel where the extra torque over the LB matters Pipe and tube fitting manufacturers needing the larger bore and chuck for holding tubular workpieces Shops wanting LYNX 2100 family commonality with the biggest chuck option available

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why does the LYNX 2100 LC have fewer turret stations than the other variants?

The larger 10-inch chuck and associated headstock geometry changes the turret clearance, reducing capacity from 12 to 10 stations. For most jobs this doesn't matter, but if you routinely program parts needing 11-12 tools, the A, B, LA, or LB variants keep the full 12 positions.

02 Should I get the LYNX 2100 LC or a PUMA 2600?

The PUMA 2600 has a 10-inch chuck too, but with 30+ kW, 327 N-m torque, box-way construction, and a 12-station turret. It's the better machine for heavy, sustained production cutting. The LYNX 2100 LC is lighter, faster on rapids, cheaper, and sufficient for lighter-duty work where you need the chuck size but not the brute force.

03 What bar diameter can I feed through the LYNX 2100 LC?

The 10-inch chuck spindle bore is larger than the 6- and 8-inch variants, accommodating bar stock in the 75-80 mm range depending on exact configuration. Verify with your dealer for the specific bore diameter on your machine build.

04 What's the max turning length on the LC versus the B?

The LC has 537 mm (21 in) max turning length compared to the B's 330 mm (13 in). The LC sits on the long-bed platform with 560 mm of Z travel, giving you significantly more room for longer parts. It's essentially a long-bed machine with the biggest available chuck.
