Overview

The DN Solutions LYNX 2100 LYA is the long-bed, Y-axis variant of the LYNX 2100 with a 6-inch chuck. The designation breaks down as L (long bed), Y (Y-axis), A (6-inch chuck). Compared to the LSYA, this machine drops the sub-spindle, giving you Y-axis milling and live tooling capability at a lower price point. It's the right call when your parts need off-center features but don't require backworking.

The main spindle delivers 15 kW (20 hp) at 6,000 RPM with 127 Nm (94 ft-lb) of torque through the 6-inch (152 mm) chuck. Max turning diameter is 300 mm (12 in) with 510 mm (20 in) of turning length on the long-bed platform. The 12-station turret runs live tools at 6,000 RPM, and the Y-axis provides ±52.5 mm (±2.07 in) of off-center travel for true milling operations.

Without the sub-spindle, the LYA is shorter and lighter than the LSYA — approximately 2,650 mm (104 in) long and 3,500 kg (7,716 lb). That makes it one of the most compact Y-axis CNC lathes on the market. Axis travels are 205 mm (8 in) on X, ±52.5 mm on Y, and 560 mm (22 in) on Z, with rapid traverse at 30/15/36 m/min.

The LYA is positioned for shops that need the milling flexibility of Y-axis but process parts that only require machining on one end. Bar-fed flanges, fittings, and connectors with flats, hexagons, or off-center holes are the sweet spot. It's significantly less expensive than the LSYA, making it a better value when sub-spindle capability isn't needed. The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control is standard.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Y-axis + live tooling enables true off-center milling at a lower price than the sub-spindle LSYA variant
6,000 RPM main spindle is fast for small-diameter aluminum, brass, and steel work
Compact ~2,650 mm footprint is one of the smallest for a Y-axis CNC lathe
±52.5 mm Y-axis travel handles flats, hexagons, keyways, and off-center holes
Lower cost of entry than the LSYA — save $30-40K when sub-spindle isn't needed
FANUC 0i-TF Plus control with well-established Y-axis programming support

Limitations

No sub-spindle — can't machine the back end of parts without a second operation
15 kW (20 hp) spindle power limits heavy roughing capacity
6-inch chuck restricts part diameter compared to the LYB (8-inch) variant
±52.5 mm Y-axis travel limits the width of milled features

Best For

Shops needing Y-axis milling capability without the cost of a sub-spindle machine Production of bar-fed parts with flats, hexagons, and off-center holes that only need one-end machining Medical and electronics manufacturers making small precision components with milled features Job shops wanting versatile Y-axis capability in the most compact footprint possible Budget-conscious shops that want to step up from C-axis-only milling to true Y-axis without overspending

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What's the difference between the LYA and the LSYA?

The LSYA adds a sub-spindle for backworking — machining both ends of the part in one cycle. The LYA has the same Y-axis milling and live tooling but no sub-spindle. Choose the LYA when parts only need machining on one end, and save $30-40K.

02 Why choose the LYA over the LMA?

The LMA has live tooling and C-axis but no Y-axis. The LYA adds ±52.5 mm of off-center travel for true milling of flats, pockets, and off-center features. If your parts only need on-center drilling and tapping, the LMA is sufficient. If you need flats, hexagons, or off-center holes, you need the Y-axis.

03 Can the LYA run with a bar feeder?

Yes. The 6-inch chuck accepts bar feeders, and with a parts catcher, the LYA runs unattended production of parts with Y-axis milled features. The only limitation vs the LSYA is that parts drop out after main-spindle machining without backside work.

04 How does the LYA compare to a Haas ST-10Y?

Both are compact Y-axis lathes with live tooling. The Haas ST-10Y has a slightly different Y-axis travel specification and pricing structure. The LYNX 2100 LYA typically offers faster rapids and a more compact footprint. Compare specific specs for your part requirements and consider local dealer support.
