Overview
The DN Solutions LYNX 2100 LC is the heavy-cutting end of the two-axis LYNX 2100 line: a 10 in chuck, an 18.5 kW (25 hp) spindle with 269 N·m (198 ft-lb) of torque and a top speed of 3,500 rpm. It turns up to 350 mm (14 in) in diameter and 537 mm (21 in) in length.
The LYNX 2100 A, B and LA all use a 15 kW (20 hp) motor. The 6 in LYNX 2100 LA, on the same 560 mm (22 in) Z travel, has 127 N·m (94 ft-lb), so the LC gives roughly 2.1 times the torque. Against the 8 in LYNX 2100 B, with 169 N·m (125 ft-lb), the gain is about 59%. That torque is bought with speed. At 3,500 rpm the spindle cannot hold a high surface speed on small diameters, which makes this the wrong variant for small pins and the right one for large blanks roughed in steel.
Two other rows differ, and both are easy to miss. The turret has 10 stations where the smaller-chuck models have 12, so a long tool list needs checking against the turret before the job is quoted. And the turning length is 537 mm (21 in), slightly under the 550 mm (22 in) of the LYNX 2100 LA, although Z travel is the same: the larger chuck takes some of the length.
X travel is 205 mm (8 in). Rapids are 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in Z. The machine measures 2,570 × 1,602 × 1,693 mm (101 × 63 × 67 in) in length, width and height and weighs 3,450 kg (7,606 lb). DN Solutions' series description adds a servo-driven turret, full slideway covers against chip ingress, grease-type lubrication and a rear-side chip conveyor. Live tools and a Y axis do not appear in this model's table.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 18.5 kW (25 hp) spindle, about 23% more power than the 15 kW (20 hp) of the LYNX 2100 A, B and LA
- 269 N·m (198 ft-lb) of torque, about 59% above the 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) of the 8 in LYNX 2100 B
- 10 in chuck for larger blanks, with a 350 mm (14 in) maximum turning diameter
- Long bed: 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel and a 537 mm (21 in) turning length
- Only slightly heavier than the 6 in long-bed LYNX 2100 LA, 3,450 kg (7,606 lb) against 3,400 kg (7,496 lb)
Limitations
- 3,500 rpm top speed, well under the 6,000 rpm of the LYNX 2100 LA, limits surface speed on small diameters
- 10 turret stations; the LYNX 2100 A, B and LA have 12
- Turning length of 537 mm (21 in) is shorter than the 550 mm (22 in) of the LYNX 2100 LA on the same Z travel
- The table shows no live-tool speed or Y travel, so there is no milling or cross-drilling as listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
They share the long bed, with 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel and a 350 mm (14 in) turning diameter. The LYNX 2100 LC has a 10 in chuck, 18.5 kW (25 hp), 269 N·m (198 ft-lb), 3,500 rpm and 10 stations. The LYNX 2100 LA has a 6 in chuck, 15 kW (20 hp), 127 N·m (94 ft-lb), 6,000 rpm and 12 stations, and turns 550 mm (22 in) against 537 mm (21 in).
02
DN Solutions' table lists 10 stations for this model and 12 for the LYNX 2100 A, B and LA, without giving a reason. For a buyer the consequence is what counts: count the tools the longest job needs, including any sister tools for unattended running, and check that they fit in 10 positions.
03
Its 18.5 kW (25 hp) matches the larger LYNX 2600 Y, but the LYNX 2600 Y delivers 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) against 269 N·m (198 ft-lb) here, about 50% more torque, with both spindles topping out at 3,500 rpm. The LYNX 2600 Y also turns 380 mm (15 in) by 610 mm (24 in) and weighs 5,750 kg (12,677 lb), so it is a considerably bigger machine.
04
The spindle tops out at 3,500 rpm. That is ample for the larger diameters a 10 in chuck holds, where surface speed is reached at modest rpm. For small-diameter parts the 6,000 rpm LYNX 2100 LA or the 4,500 rpm LYNX 2100 B will cut closer to the recommended surface speed.
05
It is 2,570 mm (101 in) long and 1,602 mm (63 in) wide, with a height of 1,693 mm (67 in), and weighs 3,450 kg (7,606 lb). The chip conveyor listed for the series is at the rear of the machine, so plan access there. Power and air requirements are not in the table and need to come from DN.
