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 6 in chuck, 6,000 rpm on both the spindle and the rotary tools, and a turning envelope of 300 mm (12 in) by 290 mm (11 in): the DN Solutions LYNX 2100MA is the driven-tool version of the short LYNX 2100. It keeps a 12-station turret and a spindle of 15 kW (20 hp) and 127 N·m (94 ft-lb).

Set its column beside the LYNX 2100 A and the effect of the milling turret shows in the envelope. The LYNX 2100 A turns 350 mm (14 in) in diameter and 330 mm (13 in) in length, where the MA lists 300 mm (12 in) and 290 mm (11 in). Axis travels do not change, at 205 mm (8 in) on X and 340 mm (13 in) on Z, so the smaller envelope is not a matter of shorter slides. Weight rises slightly, from 3,100 kg (6,834 lb) on the LYNX 2100 A to 3,170 kg (6,989 lb).

The table lists no Y travel. Driven tools therefore work on the spindle centreline, which covers cross holes, face drilling and tapping, and slots cut by feeding in X or Z. Features that need a tool offset from centre, such as a square-walled keyway milled with the side of a cutter or an off-centre pocket, call for a Y axis; among the Lynx models that means the LYNX 2600 Y, a 10 in chuck machine with 105 mm (4 in) of Y. DN gives the rotary tool speed but no power or torque for the tool drive, so judge milling capacity from a quotation, not from this table.

On the floor the machine is 2,320 mm (91 in) long and 1,595 mm (63 in) wide, stands 1,693 mm (67 in) high and weighs 3,170 kg (6,989 lb). Rapids are 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on X and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on Z. DN's series features include a servo-driven turret, full slideway covers, grease lubrication and a rear-side chip conveyor.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Rotary tools run to 6,000 rpm on a 12-station turret, so drilling and light milling can finish in the turning setup
6,000 rpm main spindle with 15 kW (20 hp) and 127 N·m (94 ft-lb), the same rating as the two-axis LYNX 2100 A
Small footprint: 2,320 mm (91 in) long by 1,595 mm (63 in) wide, at 3,170 kg (6,989 lb)
36 m/min (1,417 ipm) Z rapid and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) X rapid keep non-cutting time short on small parts
Series features listed by DN include full slideway covers and grease lubrication

Limitations

Turning envelope drops to 300 mm (12 in) diameter and 290 mm (11 in) length, from 350 mm (14 in) and 330 mm (13 in) on the LYNX 2100 A
No Y travel in the table, so milling is confined to the spindle centreline
Torque is 127 N·m (94 ft-lb); the 8 in LYNX 2100 B lists 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) at 4,500 rpm
DN's table gives the rotary tools a speed of 6,000 rpm but no power or torque figure

Best For

Small chucked parts with cross holes or slots Turn-mill work inside 300 mm (12 in) diameter and 290 mm (11 in) length Small-diameter turning that benefits from 6,000 rpm Combining turning and a separate drilling operation in one setup

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the LYNX 2100MA add over the LYNX 2100 A?

Rotary tools at 6,000 rpm. The spindle is the same in both columns: 6 in chuck, 6,000 rpm, 15 kW (20 hp), 127 N·m (94 ft-lb), with a 12-station turret. In exchange the turning envelope is smaller, 300 mm (12 in) by 290 mm (11 in) instead of the 350 mm (14 in) by 330 mm (13 in) of the LYNX 2100 A, and the machine weighs 3,170 kg (6,989 lb) against 3,100 kg (6,834 lb).

02 Does the LYNX 2100MA have a Y axis?

DN's table for the LYNX 2100MA lists X travel of 205 mm (8 in) and Z travel of 340 mm (13 in) and no Y travel. Milling is done on the spindle centreline. For off-centre milling the listed sibling with a Y row is the LYNX 2600 Y, which has 105 mm (4 in) of Y on a 10 in chuck machine with a 3,500 rpm spindle.

03 What is the largest part the LYNX 2100MA can turn?

The maximum turning diameter is 300 mm (12 in) and the maximum turning length is 290 mm (11 in), held in a 6 in chuck. Z travel is 340 mm (13 in), so the turning length is shorter than the slide stroke; allow for that when a part needs tools to reach past its end.

04 How fast are the spindle and the axes on the LYNX 2100MA?

The main spindle and the rotary tools both run to 6,000 rpm. The spindle is rated 15 kW (20 hp) with 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) of torque. Rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on X and 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on Z.

05 How big and heavy is the LYNX 2100MA?

DN lists 2,320 × 1,595 × 1,693 mm (91 × 63 × 67 in) as length, width and height, and a machine weight of 3,170 kg (6,989 lb). The series is described with a rear-side chip conveyor, so plan clearance behind the machine as well as in front of the door.
