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

Short bed, 8 in chuck, driven tools: the DN Solutions LYNX 2100 MB is the compact live-tool lathe of the LYNX 2100 line. It turns up to 300 mm (12 in) in diameter and 290 mm (11 in) in length on 340 mm (13 in) of Z travel, with a 4,500 rpm main spindle and live tools that run to 6,000 rpm.

Its closest relative is the turning-only LYNX 2100 B. The two share the 8 in chuck, the 15 kW (20 hp) motor, 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) of torque, 205 mm (8 in) of X travel and 340 mm (13 in) of Z travel. Adding driven tools changes three rows. Turning length falls from 330 mm (13 in) on the LYNX 2100 B to 290 mm (11 in), turning diameter from 350 mm (14 in) to 300 mm (12 in), and weight goes up from 3,100 kg (6,834 lb) to 3,170 kg (6,989 lb).

That makes this a machine for chucking parts with a few drilled or milled features: a hub with tapped holes, a fitting with wrench flats cut on centre, a disc with a cross-drilled oil hole. The spindle has the torque for roughing an 8 in class blank, and the driven tools have the speed for small cutters. Length is the constraint. With 290 mm (11 in) to work in, a long drill in a live holder takes a real share of the stroke, so check tool lengths against the part before committing.

DN Solutions does not list a Y travel for this model, nor the power and torque of the live-tool drive. Milling is therefore limited to the spindle centreline plane, and how heavy a cut the driven tools can take is a question for DN.

The machine is 2,350 mm (93 in) long, 1,595 mm (63 in) wide and 1,693 mm (67 in) high. Rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in Z. The 12-station turret is servo-driven according to the series description, which also lists a rear-side double-purpose chip conveyor.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Live tools at 6,000 rpm on a machine only 2,350 mm (93 in) long
8 in chuck with 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) of spindle torque from a 15 kW (20 hp) motor
Finishes drilled and milled features in the same chucking as the turning
12-station turret and rapids of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in Z
Weighs 3,170 kg (6,989 lb), close to the 3,100 kg (6,834 lb) of the turning-only LYNX 2100 B

Limitations

Maximum turning length is 290 mm (11 in), shorter than the 330 mm (13 in) of the LYNX 2100 B
Turning diameter is 300 mm (12 in), down from 350 mm (14 in) on the LYNX 2100 B
No Y travel is listed, so off-centre milling in a straight line is not available
The table omits live-tool power and torque
A 4,500 rpm main spindle is a limit on small-diameter turning

Best For

Hubs, discs and fittings up to 290 mm (11 in) long with drilled or tapped holes One-chucking turn-and-drill work in an 8 in chuck Cells short on floor length, at 2,350 mm (93 in) Small-cutter drilling and light milling at up to 6,000 rpm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the LYNX 2100 MB and the LYNX 2100 B?

The LYNX 2100 MB has live tools, listed at 6,000 rpm, and the LYNX 2100 B does not. Both have an 8 in chuck, 4,500 rpm, 15 kW (20 hp), 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) and 340 mm (13 in) of Z travel. The LYNX 2100 B turns 350 mm (14 in) by 330 mm (13 in) and weighs 3,100 kg (6,834 lb); the MB turns 300 mm (12 in) by 290 mm (11 in) and weighs 3,170 kg (6,989 lb).

02 How long a part fits in the LYNX 2100 MB?

Maximum turning length is 290 mm (11 in) and Z travel is 340 mm (13 in). If the part or the tooling needs more, the long-bed LYNX 2100 LA has 560 mm (22 in) of Z travel and a 550 mm (22 in) turning length, but it is a turning-only model with a 6 in chuck.

03 What milling can the LYNX 2100 MB do?

Driven tools run at up to 6,000 rpm, which covers drilling, tapping and light milling with small cutters. The table lists no Y travel and no live-tool power or torque. Expect features on the spindle centreline plane, and ask DN Solutions for the drive ratings before planning heavier milling.

04 How much floor space does the LYNX 2100 MB take?

The machine measures 2,350 mm (93 in) in length and 1,595 mm (63 in) in width, with a height of 1,693 mm (67 in). Its weight is 3,170 kg (6,989 lb). Chips leave by a conveyor at the rear, as listed for the series, so add clearance behind the machine.
