Lynx Series

DN Solutions (formerly Doosan Machine Tools) Lynx series features high accuracy compact horizontal lathes. The machines produce superior surface finishes and offer multiple options to provide a customizable solution to your turning applications. With models featuring for 6", 8" or 10" chucks, extended turning lengths, milling, sub-spindle, and y-axis capabilities, these high-speed machines will have your production line moving faster and in the right direction.

Compact Performance, Long-Term Precision

The DN Solutions Lynx 2100LMC is a robust mill-drill turning center built for shops that demand high accuracy and process consolidation. With a powerful 25 hp FANUC digital spindle motor and a large 3.12" bar capacity, it handles heavy-duty turning and milling without compromise. The one-piece Meehanite® cast slant bed offers excellent vibration dampening and thermal stability, ensuring precision across long production runs. Its 11.8" maximum turning diameter and 19.56" length support a wide range of part sizes.

Full Contouring with C-Axis & Live Tooling

C-axis functionality and 6,000 rpm live tooling allow for contouring, drilling, and tapping directly on the main spindle. The 12-station turret offers 24 indexing positions, each capable of mounting live tools. Indexing is fast—just 0.11 seconds per station—powered by a high-torque servo motor and a rigid BMT-45 coupling for high-load milling stability. The Preci-Flex® quick-change tooling system increases setup speed and toolholding precision.

Built to Withstand Demanding Production

Key specs include a 3,500 rpm main spindle, ±0.00008" X-axis repeatability, and rapid traverse rates of 1,181 ipm (X) and 1,417 ipm (Z). The guideways are precision roller-type linear rails, fully enclosed and protected to ensure durability in harsh environments. An onboard tool setter, hydraulic tailstock, and chip conveyor-ready design further support ease of use and uptime.

Smart Controls and Simplified Programming

At the heart of the machine is the FANUC 0i-Plus control with an iHMi touchscreen and EZ Guide i conversational programming. This intuitive interface makes it easy to create, simulate, and run programs, including turning, milling, grooving, peck drilling, and threading—all in one setup. Tool monitoring, alarm guidance, and automatic setup tools further reduce operator effort and improve cycle reliability.

FAQ Section

What industries benefit most from the Lynx 2100LMC?

The DN Solutions Lynx 2100LMC is ideal for aerospace, medical, automotive, and general machining industries. Its ability to perform turning, milling, drilling, and tapping in a single setup reduces cycle time and boosts throughput. The rigid construction and thermal stability also make it reliable for tight-tolerance, high-precision applications.

How does the live tooling improve machining flexibility?

Live tooling enables the Lynx 2100LMC to perform operations like cross-drilling, off-center tapping, and contour milling—all within the same setup. This minimizes the need for secondary machines or part re-fixturing. The 6,000 rpm rotating tool spindle, driven by a 5 hp motor, supports a wide variety of rotary tools and is integrated across all 12 turret stations for maximum configurability.

What control features simplify programming and setup?

The FANUC 0i-Plus control with iHMi interface and EZ Guide i software allows conversational programming for turning, threading, and drilling cycles. The control supports advanced features like polar and cylindrical interpolation, rigid tapping, and multi-level subprograms. An on-screen load meter and tool life management systems reduce guesswork and improve process reliability.

Is the Lynx 2100LMC suitable for automation?

Yes. It includes a barfeed interface, auto part catcher (optional), and chip conveyor compatibility. The machine’s hydraulic tailstock, compact footprint, and programmable features make it ideal for lights-out manufacturing or integration into automated cells.

What options enhance coolant and chip management?

The standard system includes a 65 PSI multi-stage pump with a 41-gallon tank. Optional upgrades include a 145 PSI or 1,000 PSI pump for high-pressure coolant delivery. The separated chip conveyor and tank design reduce thermal transfer to the machine, while easy-to-access filters simplify maintenance.
