Performance and Power in a Compact Machine

The Lynx 2100A is a 6-inch-class compact turning center, designed to deliver high-performance machining in a smaller footprint. With a maximum turning diameter of 350 mm (13.8 inches), this machine is engineered for applications that require both precision and power. From automotive parts to aerospace components, the Lynx 2100A is capable of handling complex workpieces with ease.

Equipped with a 15 kW spindle motor and a maximum spindle speed of 6000 rpm, the Lynx 2100A provides the power needed for high-precision cutting while maintaining stability and accuracy. The machine’s spindle torque reaches 127 N·m (93.7 ft-lbs), ensuring efficient material removal even in tough materials. This combination of power and speed allows for faster cycle times and higher productivity—critical factors in today’s competitive market.

Precision Meets Efficiency with the Lynx 2100A

Precision is at the core of the Lynx 2100A, making it an ideal choice for industries that demand tight tolerances and superior surface finishes. This 2-axis horizontal turning center is designed to offer precision with every cut, thanks to its rapid traverse rate of 30 m/min (1181.1 ipm) on the X-axis and 36 m/min (1417.3 ipm) on the Z-axis. The machine’s X-axis travel distance of 205 mm (8.1 inches) and Z-axis travel of 340 mm (13.4 inches) enable it to handle a wide range of part sizes, providing flexibility for various applications.

The Benefits of a High-Performance Turret

One of the key features of the Lynx 2100A is its 12-station turret, which enables rapid and accurate tool changes. With a turret indexing time of just 0.11 seconds, operators can switch between tools quickly, minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput. This is particularly important for shops that handle multiple operations on a single machine, as the turret’s efficiency directly impacts overall productivity.

The Lynx 2100A is designed to handle both OD and ID tools with ease, accommodating an OD tool size of 25 mm x 25 mm (1.0 inch x 1.0 inch) and an ID tool size of up to 40 mm (1.6 inches). This versatility makes the machine suitable for a wide range of machining operations, from simple turning to more complex tasks such as boring or drilling.

Enhanced Stability and Reliability

When it comes to machining large or heavy workpieces, stability is critical. The Lynx 2100A is equipped with a low-vibration spindle designed to handle heavy-duty cutting while minimizing noise and maintaining accuracy. This feature ensures that even during long machining cycles, the machine delivers consistent results, reducing the risk of errors or defects in the finished product.

The CNC lathe also features a hydraulically actuated CNC tailstock, which provides additional support for longer parts. The tailstock’s MT #4 quill taper ensures stability when working with large or heavy components, further enhancing the machine’s ability to deliver precise, high-quality results.

Tailstock and Spindle Performance for Superior Results

The Lynx 2100A offers several spindle configurations to meet the needs of different applications. The machine supports both 6-inch and 8-inch chucks, with a bar working diameter of 51 mm (2.0 inches) for the 6-inch model and 67 mm (2.6 inches) for the 8-inch model. This versatility allows shops to handle a wider range of workpieces, from smaller precision components to larger parts that require robust workholding.

Additionally, the spindle speed of up to 6000 rpm on the 6-inch model provides high rotational speeds necessary for efficient cutting in a variety of materials. The ability to maintain high precision at these speeds makes the Lynx 2100A an indispensable tool for industries requiring reliable and fast production.

User-Friendly Design for Increased Productivity

The Lynx 2100A is designed not only for performance but also for operator convenience. The machine comes equipped with the DN Solutions Fanuc i Plus CNC system, featuring a 15-inch color display and a QWERTY keyboard for intuitive operation. The interface is user-friendly, ensuring that operators can easily program and manage their jobs with minimal training.

The EZ work system further enhances the machine’s usability, allowing operators to control peripheral devices, such as the tailstock, with ease. This reduces setup times and ensures that even complex jobs can be completed efficiently. In a high-volume production environment, this level of convenience can make a significant difference in overall productivity.

Maximizing Shop Efficiency

In one case study, a manufacturer was struggling to keep up with increasing demand due to the limitations of their older turning centers. After implementing the Doosan Lynx 2100A, they were able to increase their output while maintaining the high precision required for their products. The machine’s rapid traverse rate, powerful spindle, and efficient tool change system allowed them to reduce cycle times by over 20%, enabling them to meet tighter deadlines and take on additional contracts.
