Overview
The DN Solutions LYNX 2100 LMSA takes the LMA platform and adds a sub-spindle, turning it into a done-in-one production machine. If you're tired of flipping parts or running second ops on a separate machine, this is the LYNX variant that eliminates that bottleneck. The sub-spindle picks up the part after main-spindle machining, and you can finish the backside without operator intervention.
The main spindle specs carry over from the LMA: 6-inch (152 mm) chuck, 6,000 RPM, 15 kW (20 hp), and 127 N-m (94 ft-lb) of torque. You still get the full 300 mm (12 in) turning diameter and 510 mm (20 in) turning length. The 12-station turret with 6,000 RPM live tooling handles cross-drilling, tapping, and flat milling on both spindles.
The sub-spindle addition stretches the machine to 2,805 mm (110 in) — about 265 mm longer than the LMA — and bumps weight to 3,600 kg (7,937 lb). It's still a compact footprint for a sub-spindle machine. Most competing sub-spindle lathes in this class are significantly larger and heavier.
Axis travels remain 205 mm (8 in) on X and 560 mm (22 in) on Z, with the same 30/36 m/min rapid traverse speeds. The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control handles the synchronization between main and sub-spindle, and programming part transfer sequences is straightforward with Fanuc's built-in functions.
The LMSA is a production-focused machine. If you're running parts where both ends need machining — think connector bodies, valve stems, threaded fittings, or any part with features on both faces — the sub-spindle pays for itself in reduced cycle time and eliminated handling. The 6-inch chuck and 6,000 RPM spindle make it particularly well-suited for small precision parts in the medical, electronics, and aerospace sectors.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Sub-spindle enables done-in-one machining — machine both ends without flipping or second ops
- 6,000 RPM main spindle is ideal for high-speed small-part production in aluminum and brass
- Compact 2,805 mm (110 in) footprint is small for a sub-spindle turning center
- Live tooling at 6,000 RPM on a 12-station turret handles secondary milling on both spindles
- FANUC 0i-TF Plus control with built-in part-transfer programming simplifies sub-spindle operation
- Eliminates part handling between ops, reducing labor cost and improving consistency
Limitations
- 15 kW (20 hp) spindle power limits heavy roughing — this is a precision machine, not a hogging machine
- 6-inch chuck restricts part diameter compared to the LMSB (8-inch) and LMSC (10-inch) variants
- Higher purchase price than the non-sub-spindle LMA for shops that don't need backworking
- No Y-axis reduces milling flexibility compared to SY-type machines

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The sub-spindle picks up the part after the main spindle finishes the first side. It then machines the backside — facing, boring, threading, or any feature that needs work on the cutoff end. This eliminates the need to flip parts or run a second operation, producing complete parts in one cycle.
02
The sub-spindle option typically adds $30,000-$45,000 to the base price. It's a significant investment, but if you're running any kind of volume where both ends need machining, the labor savings and cycle time reduction pay it back quickly.
03
The sub-spindle specifications match what the machine needs for backworking operations. It's designed to handle facing, boring, threading, and light turning on the cutoff end. For heavy-duty backside roughing, the larger LMSB or LMSC variants offer more capability.
04
Yes, combined with a bar feeder and parts catcher, the LMSA can run unattended. The sub-spindle produces complete parts without operator intervention. Add a chip conveyor and coolant management system for extended unattended runs.
