Overview

The DN Solutions LYNX 2100 LSYA is a 6 in chuck lathe with a good deal built onto a small spindle: live tools at 6,000 rpm, 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel and a long bed with 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel, in a machine that weighs 4,150 kg (9,149 lb). The main spindle is rated 15 kW (20 hp) and 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) at up to 6,000 rpm. Maximum turning diameter is 300 mm (12 in) and maximum turning length 510 mm (20 in).

The weight shows how far this variant has moved from the basic lathe. DN Solutions' table gives the same spindle figures to two simpler machines. The LYNX 2100 A, a short two-axis lathe with 340 mm (13 in) of Z travel, weighs 3,100 kg (6,834 lb). The LYNX 2100 LA has the 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel found here and weighs 3,400 kg (7,496 lb). At 4,150 kg (9,149 lb) the LSYA is about 34% heavier than the LYNX 2100 A. It is also 1,921 mm (76 in) high and 1,711 mm (67 in) wide, on a length of 2,880 mm (113 in), so it should be planned as a mid-size machine and not by the size of its chuck.

What the buyer gets for that mass is milling freedom. With Y travel a driven tool can leave the spindle centreline, so flats are cut in straight passes, slots keep parallel walls and holes can sit off-centre. Because spindle and live tools both reach 6,000 rpm, the machine is matched to small work: small diameters turned at speed, then small drills and end mills run at the rpm they need. Torque of 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) is the limit on the turning side, and it rules out fast roughing of large steel blanks.

Two things are missing from the published rows. Nothing states what the S in LSYA provides: the table has a single set of spindle figures, with no second chuck size, speed or power. The live-tool drive is given a speed and no power or torque. Both should be requested from DN before the machine is compared with others. The turning envelope is also narrower than on the two-axis models, since the LYNX 2100 A and the LYNX 2100 LA both turn 350 mm (14 in) in diameter against 300 mm (12 in) here.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Main spindle and live tools both run to 6,000 rpm, a match for small diameters and small cutters
105 mm (4 in) of Y travel for straight-pass flats, parallel-walled slots and off-centre holes
560 mm (22 in) of Z travel and a 510 mm (20 in) turning length on a 6 in chuck machine
12-station turret, which DN Solutions describes as servo-driven for the series
4,150 kg (9,149 lb), against 6,000 kg (13,228 lb) for the LYNX 2600SY, which lists the same Y travel and live-tool speed

Limitations

The table does not say what the S in the model code adds: there is one set of spindle rows and nothing further
Spindle torque is 127 N·m (94 ft-lb); the LYNX 2600SY lists 403 N·m (297 ft-lb)
Turning diameter is 300 mm (12 in), down from 350 mm (14 in) on the LYNX 2100 A and the LYNX 2100 LA
About 34% heavier than the LYNX 2100 A at 3,100 kg (6,834 lb), and 1,921 mm (76 in) high
No power or torque figure is listed for the live tools

Best For

Small, feature-dense parts turned and milled at up to 6,000 rpm Shafts up to 510 mm (20 in) long with flats, slots or cross holes Off-centre milling and drilling within 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel Work that fits a 6 in chuck and a 300 mm (12 in) turning diameter

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the S in LYNX 2100 LSYA mean?

DN Solutions' comparison table does not spell it out. For this model it lists a 6 in chuck, 6,000 rpm, 15 kW (20 hp) and 127 N·m (94 ft-lb), which is one spindle's worth of figures, and no rows for anything further. The practical step is to ask DN for the full specification of the S feature before weighing this model against the others in the range.

02 How does the LYNX 2100 LSYA compare with the LYNX 2600SY?

Both list 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel, 6,000 rpm live tools and a 12-station turret. The LYNX 2600SY is the larger lathe, with a 10 in chuck, 18.5 kW (25 hp), 403 N·m (297 ft-lb), 3,500 rpm, a 380 mm (15 in) by 610 mm (24 in) turning envelope and a weight of 6,000 kg (13,228 lb). The LYNX 2100 LSYA turns 300 mm (12 in) by 510 mm (20 in) at up to 6,000 rpm with 127 N·m (94 ft-lb), and weighs 4,150 kg (9,149 lb).

03 How much heavier is the LYNX 2100 LSYA than the two-axis LYNX 2100 lathes?

It weighs 4,150 kg (9,149 lb). The LYNX 2100 A, with the same 6 in chuck and spindle rating, weighs 3,100 kg (6,834 lb), and the long-bed LYNX 2100 LA weighs 3,400 kg (7,496 lb). Rigging and floor loading should be planned from the listed weight and not from the size of the chuck.

04 Can the LYNX 2100 LSYA mill features away from the centreline?

Yes, within its Y stroke. The table lists 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel in addition to 205 mm (8 in) of X and 560 mm (22 in) of Z, with live tools at 6,000 rpm. The stroke is given as a total, so for a feature far from the axis confirm with DN how much of it lies on each side of centre. No rapid rate is listed for Y; X and Z move at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm).

05 What installation space does the LYNX 2100 LSYA need?

The machine itself is 2,880 mm (113 in) long, 1,711 mm (67 in) wide and 1,921 mm (76 in) high. DN Solutions' series description places a double-purpose chip conveyor at the rear side, so leave room behind the machine for it and for chip bins. Service clearances, electrical supply and air requirements are not in the table and should be requested.
