How much does the DN Solutions LYNX 2100 LMSC cost?

Overview
The DN Solutions LYNX 2100 LMSC is a 10 in live-tool lathe that weighs 4,100 kg (9,039 lb), with an 18.5 kW (25 hp) spindle and 269 N·m (198 ft-lb) of torque at up to 3,500 rpm. Live tools are listed at 6,000 rpm. It turns 300 mm (12 in) in diameter and 497 mm (20 in) in length.
Mass and power are the two rows to plan around. A machine of 4,100 kg (9,039 lb) on a base 2,837 mm (112 in) long and 1,602 mm (63 in) wide needs its floor loading and rigging route checked, and the 18.5 kW (25 hp) motor sets the electrical supply, which DN Solutions' table does not specify. Height is 1,693 mm (67 in).
In capability it sits between two reference points. Below it, the turning-only LYNX 2100 LA has a 6 in chuck, 15 kW (20 hp) and 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) on the same 560 mm (22 in) Z travel, and weighs 3,400 kg (7,496 lb). Above it, the LYNX 2600SY matches the 10 in chuck, the 18.5 kW (25 hp) and the 3,500 rpm, but produces 403 N·m (297 ft-lb), has 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel and weighs 6,000 kg (13,228 lb). So the LYNX 2100 LMSC gives 10 in capacity and the larger motor at roughly two thirds of the weight of the LYNX 2600SY, without the Y axis and with about a third less torque.
Two points need a call to DN. The first is the S in the code: the table carries a single set of spindle rows and nothing that defines the S feature. The second is the live-tool drive, for which only the 6,000 rpm speed is given. 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, and the turret has 12 stations.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 269 N·m (198 ft-lb) at the spindle for roughing parts held in a 10 in chuck
- Same chuck size, power and 3,500 rpm top speed as the LYNX 2600SY at 4,100 kg (9,039 lb) instead of 6,000 kg (13,228 lb)
- 6,000 rpm live tools keep small drills and taps productive on large parts
- 12 turret stations with 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel
- Servo-driven turret and full slideway cover are listed for the series
Limitations
- The S feature of the model code has no figures in the table
- Torque of 269 N·m (198 ft-lb) is about a third below the 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) of the LYNX 2600SY
- No Y travel is listed; the LYNX 2600SY has 105 mm (4 in)
- The 3,500 rpm spindle is slow for small-diameter turning
- Turning length of 497 mm (20 in) is well short of the 610 mm (24 in) of the LYNX 2600SY

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It weighs 4,100 kg (9,039 lb) and measures 2,837 mm (112 in) long, 1,602 mm (63 in) wide and 1,693 mm (67 in) high. Check the floor loading, the lifting plan and door clearances against those figures. Electrical and air requirements are not in DN Solutions' table and should be requested for the 18.5 kW (25 hp) spindle.
02
They share a 10 in chuck, 18.5 kW (25 hp), 3,500 rpm, a 12-station turret and 6,000 rpm live tools. The LYNX 2600SY adds 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel, has 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) against 269 N·m (198 ft-lb), turns 380 mm (15 in) by 610 mm (24 in) and weighs 6,000 kg (13,228 lb). The LYNX 2100 LMSC turns 300 mm (12 in) by 497 mm (20 in) and weighs 4,100 kg (9,039 lb).
03
Nothing in figures. The table lists one spindle with a 10 in chuck, 18.5 kW (25 hp), 269 N·m (198 ft-lb) and 3,500 rpm, and no separate rows for whatever the S denotes. Request that specification from DN before deciding, since it is the reason to choose this variant.
04
Parts that need a 10 in chuck and fit within 300 mm (12 in) in diameter and 497 mm (20 in) in length, with drilled, tapped or lightly milled features on the centreline plane. The 3,500 rpm spindle and 269 N·m (198 ft-lb) of torque favour larger diameters in steel over small high-speed work.
