Overview

Take the long-bed 6 in LYNX lathe, put driven tools in its turret, and the result is the DN Solutions LYNX 2100 LMA. The main spindle is rated 15 kW (20 hp) and 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) at up to 6,000 rpm, and the live tools also run to 6,000 rpm. Maximum turning diameter is 300 mm (12 in) and maximum turning length is 510 mm (20 in).

The live tooling is what separates it from the turning-only LYNX 2100 LA, and the table shows what that costs in envelope. The LYNX 2100 LA turns 350 mm (14 in) by 550 mm (22 in). Here the limits are 300 mm (12 in) and 510 mm (20 in), although X travel is still 205 mm (8 in) and Z travel still 560 mm (22 in). Weight rises a little, from 3,400 kg (7,496 lb) to 3,480 kg (7,672 lb).

A live-tool speed equal to the spindle speed is a useful match for a 6 in machine. The parts it holds are small, the cross holes and slots on them are smaller still, and small drills and end mills need rpm. What the table does not give is the power or torque of the live-tool drive, so heavy side milling should not be assumed. It also lists no Y travel. Driven tools therefore work on the plane through the spindle centreline: holes aimed at the centre, features on the face, slots cut along the axis. A flat or pocket that must be machined off-centre with straight walls calls for a Y axis, which the larger LYNX 2600 Y provides with 105 mm (4 in) of travel.

All 12 turret stations sit on a servo-driven turret, according to DN Solutions' description of the series, which also names grease-type lubrication, a full slideway cover and a rear-side double-purpose chip conveyor. The machine is 2,540 mm (100 in) long, 1,595 mm (63 in) wide and 1,693 mm (67 in) high. Rapids are 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in Z.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Live tools at 6,000 rpm, matching the 6,000 rpm main spindle, for small drills and end mills
Turning and cross-drilling in one chucking on parts up to 300 mm (12 in) in diameter and 510 mm (20 in) long
560 mm (22 in) of Z travel, the same as the turning-only LYNX 2100 LA
12-station servo-driven turret to share between static and driven tools
Adds live tooling for a small weight increase: 3,480 kg (7,672 lb) against 3,400 kg (7,496 lb) for the LYNX 2100 LA

Limitations

Turning diameter drops to 300 mm (12 in) from the 350 mm (14 in) of the LYNX 2100 LA, and turning length to 510 mm (20 in) from 550 mm (22 in)
No Y travel is listed, so off-centre flats and pockets with straight walls are outside what the listed axes do
The table gives the live-tool speed but neither the power nor the torque of the live-tool drive
Main spindle torque is 127 N·m (94 ft-lb), which limits roughing on the larger diameters

Best For

Small shafts and fittings that need cross holes or slots after turning Parts up to 510 mm (20 in) long finished in one chucking Small-tool drilling and milling at up to 6,000 rpm Work that fits a 6 in chuck and 15 kW (20 hp)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the LYNX 2100 LMA add to the LYNX 2100 LA?

Live tools. The table for the LYNX 2100 LMA lists a live-tool speed of 6,000 rpm; the LYNX 2100 LA has no such row. The chuck, the 6,000 rpm 15 kW (20 hp) spindle and the 560 mm (22 in) Z travel are common to both. The LYNX 2100 LA has the larger turning envelope, 350 mm (14 in) by 550 mm (22 in), against 300 mm (12 in) by 510 mm (20 in).

02 Does the LYNX 2100 LMA have a Y axis?

No Y travel appears in DN Solutions' table for this model. The listed axes are X, with 205 mm (8 in), and Z, with 560 mm (22 in). Among the comparison models, Y travel is listed on the LYNX 2600 Y, 105 mm (4 in), a larger machine with a 10 in chuck that weighs 5,750 kg (12,677 lb).

03 How fast do the live tools run on the LYNX 2100 LMA?

Up to 6,000 rpm, the same top speed as the main spindle. That suits the small drills, taps and end mills used on parts that fit a 6 in chuck. DN Solutions does not list the live-tool motor power or torque in the table, so ask for those figures if the job includes anything heavier than light milling and drilling.

04 What are the turning limits of the LYNX 2100 LMA?

Maximum turning diameter is 300 mm (12 in) and maximum turning length is 510 mm (20 in). X travel is 205 mm (8 in) and Z travel is 560 mm (22 in). The spindle delivers 127 N·m (94 ft-lb), so the practical limit on large diameters is usually the torque available for the cut, not the swing.

05 How much space does the LYNX 2100 LMA occupy?

DN Solutions lists 2,540 mm (100 in) in length, 1,595 mm (63 in) in width and 1,693 mm (67 in) in height, with a machine weight of 3,480 kg (7,672 lb). The chip conveyor named in the series description is at the rear, so the layout needs access behind the machine.
