Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

A Y axis with 105 mm (4 in) of travel is the row that defines the DN Solutions LYNX 2100 LYA. Around it sits a 6 in chuck lathe with a 6,000 rpm, 15 kW (20 hp) spindle, live tools at 6,000 rpm, and a turning envelope of 300 mm (12 in) in diameter by 510 mm (20 in) in length.

On a lathe with only X and Z, a rotating tool can reach the part along a line through the spindle centre and nowhere else. Y travel moves the tool across that line. A flat can then be milled with a straight pass, a keyway gets parallel walls at its true width from a smaller cutter, and holes can be drilled off-centre while staying square to the flat they sit on. For a part that fits a 6 in chuck, 105 mm (4 in) of Y stroke covers a large share of its width. The table gives the total stroke only, so ask DN Solutions how it is divided above and below centre.

The machine reaches the same Y travel and the same 6,000 rpm live-tool speed as the larger LYNX 2600 Y, in a much lighter package: 3,850 kg (8,488 lb) against 5,750 kg (12,677 lb). The LYNX 2600 Y answers with a 10 in chuck and 403 N·m (297 ft-lb), where this model has 127 N·m (94 ft-lb). The choice is between small, fast, feature-rich parts and large ones that need torque.

The Y axis does change the installation. The machine is 2,880 mm (113 in) long, 1,711 mm (67 in) wide and 1,921 mm (76 in) high, and it is about 13% heavier than the two-axis LYNX 2100 LA at 3,400 kg (7,496 lb). The LYNX 2100 LA also turns a larger envelope, 350 mm (14 in) by 550 mm (22 in). X travel is 205 mm (8 in), Z travel 560 mm (22 in), and the turret has 12 stations.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

105 mm (4 in) of Y travel, the same stroke the larger LYNX 2600 Y lists
Spindle and live tools both run to 6,000 rpm, suiting small parts and small cutters
Flats, keyways and off-centre holes can be cut in the same chucking as the turning
3,850 kg (8,488 lb), about a third lighter than the 5,750 kg (12,677 lb) LYNX 2600 Y
12-station turret on 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel

Limitations

127 N·m (94 ft-lb) of spindle torque; the LYNX 2600 Y delivers 403 N·m (297 ft-lb)
Turning diameter of 300 mm (12 in) and length of 510 mm (20 in) are below the 350 mm (14 in) and 550 mm (22 in) of the two-axis LYNX 2100 LA
The table gives the Y stroke as a total and does not say how it splits about the centreline
Stands 1,921 mm (76 in) high and 1,711 mm (67 in) wide, which matters for doorways and low ceilings
No live-tool power or torque figure is listed

Best For

Small parts with milled flats, keyways or off-centre holes Complete machining in one chucking within a 6 in chuck Small-cutter milling at 6,000 rpm with 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel Shops that need a Y axis in a 3,850 kg (8,488 lb) machine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the Y axis on the LYNX 2100 LYA allow?

It lets a live tool move 105 mm (4 in) across the spindle centreline instead of only toward it. That makes straight-pass flats, keyways with parallel walls and off-centre drilled holes possible in the same setup as the turning. DN Solutions lists the stroke as a total, so confirm the travel on each side of centre for parts with features far from the axis.

02 How does the LYNX 2100 LYA compare with the LYNX 2600 Y?

Y travel, 105 mm (4 in), and live-tool speed, 6,000 rpm, are the same. The LYNX 2600 Y is larger: 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) envelope and 5,750 kg (12,677 lb). The LYNX 2100 LYA has a 6 in chuck, 15 kW (20 hp), 127 N·m (94 ft-lb), 6,000 rpm and weighs 3,850 kg (8,488 lb).

03 How much turning capacity does the Y axis take away?

Compared with the two-axis LYNX 2100 LA, which has the same chuck, spindle and Z travel, turning diameter goes from 350 mm (14 in) to 300 mm (12 in) and turning length from 550 mm (22 in) to 510 mm (20 in). Weight rises from the 3,400 kg (7,496 lb) of the LYNX 2100 LA to 3,850 kg (8,488 lb).

04 Will the LYNX 2100 LYA fit through my shop door?

Measure against 2,880 mm (113 in) of length, 1,711 mm (67 in) of width and 1,921 mm (76 in) of height. Those are the listed machine dimensions; DN Solutions' table does not give a shipping configuration. The machine weighs 3,850 kg (8,488 lb), which sets the forklift or crane capacity needed.

05 How many tools can the LYNX 2100 LYA carry?

The turret has 12 stations and DN Solutions describes the series turret as servo-driven. On a Y-axis part those stations are split between turning tools and driven holders, so a part with many milled features can use them up quickly. Live tools are listed at 6,000 rpm.
