Overview

The DN Solutions LYNX 2100G is the gang-tool variant of the popular LYNX 2100 platform — a compact, high-speed turning center designed for small-part production where cycle time is everything. Instead of a conventional turret that indexes between tool positions, the gang-tool layout mounts all tools on a linear slide, eliminating turret indexing time entirely. Tool changes happen at rapid traverse speed, which shaves seconds off every cycle. In high-volume production, those seconds add up to hours of saved spindle time per week.

The LYNX 2100G runs an 18.5 kW (25 hp) spindle at up to 6,000 RPM with 118 Nm (87 ft-lb) of torque. The max turning diameter is 170 mm (7 in) and turning length is 330 mm (13 in) — this is purpose-built for small parts. The X-axis travel is a generous 450 mm (18 in) to accommodate the gang-tool slide, while Z runs 340 mm (13 in). Rapid traverse hits 30 m/min on X and 36 m/min on Z. Roller-type LM guideways provide the rigidity needed for tight tolerances at high spindle speeds.

At just 2,900 kg (6,393 lb) and a compact 2,090 mm footprint, the LYNX 2100G fits into tight production cells. DN Solutions runs the Fanuc 0i-Plus control. This machine excels in medical, electronics, and automotive connector manufacturing where you're running thousands of small parts per shift and every fraction of a second matters. It competes with the Citizen Cincom and Star SR series in the small-part high-volume space, offering a simpler and more affordable alternative to Swiss-type machines for parts that don't require guide bushing support.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Gang-tool design eliminates turret indexing time completely, cutting seconds off every cycle in high-volume production
6,000 RPM spindle speed and 36 m/min Z-axis rapids maximize throughput on small aluminum and brass parts
18.5 kW (25 hp) spindle is unusually powerful for a gang-tool machine, handling steel work that lighter machines struggle with
Roller-type LM guideways provide rigidity for tight tolerances at high spindle speeds without sacrificing positioning speed
Compact 2,090 mm footprint fits into tight production cells and automated lines

Limitations

170 mm (7 in) max turning diameter severely limits part size — this is a dedicated small-part machine
Gang-tool layout restricts the number of tools that can be mounted simultaneously compared to a 12-station turret
No turret means no BMT or VDI live tooling — cross-drilling and milling require secondary operations
Limited turning length of 330 mm (13 in) rules out longer shaft-type components

Best For

High-volume production of small parts where cycle time reduction justifies the gang-tool approach Medical device manufacturers turning implant components, fittings, and instrument parts under 7 inches in diameter Electronics and connector manufacturers running thousands of brass and aluminum parts per shift Shops looking for Swiss-type production speeds without the complexity and cost of a Swiss-type machine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DN Solutions LYNX 2100G cost?

New LYNX 2100G machines run $55,000-$80,000 depending on options. The gang-tool variant is priced similarly to the turret LYNX 2100, with the premium going toward the specialized gang-tool slide mechanism and roller guideways.

02 What's the difference between the LYNX 2100G and the regular LYNX 2100?

The 'G' stands for gang-tool. Instead of a 12-station indexing turret, tools are mounted on a linear slide. This eliminates indexing time but limits the number of tools and rules out live tooling. The 2100G also has a smaller max turning diameter (170 mm vs 350 mm) due to the gang-tool layout. Choose the 2100G for high-volume small parts, the standard 2100 for versatility.

03 Can the LYNX 2100G replace a Swiss-type machine?

For parts that don't require guide bushing support (typically parts with L/D ratios under 3:1), the LYNX 2100G can match Swiss-type cycle times at a lower cost. It won't replace a Swiss for long, slender parts where the guide bushing prevents deflection, but for short, chunky small parts, it's a compelling alternative.

04 How many tools can the gang-tool post hold?

The gang-tool post typically accommodates 8-10 turning tools and can be configured with ID and OD tool positions. The exact count depends on tool holder size and part requirements. While fewer than a 12-station turret, the elimination of indexing time more than compensates in high-volume applications.
