The Doosan Lynx 220A is a compact 2-axis CNC turning center with a reputation for rigidity and reliability that has made it a staple in high-volume precision job shops and bar-work environments. This 2014 machine pairs a 6-inch hydraulic 3-jaw chuck with a 2.2-inch spindle bore and 1.75-inch bar capacity, turning up to 6,000 RPM through an A2-5 spindle nose driven by a 20 HP motor. It handles a max swing of 20.1 inches, a max turning diameter of 12.6 inches, and a max turning length of 12.68 inches, with X and Z travels of 6.9 by 12.6 inches and rapid traverse of 1,181 IPM in X and 1,417 IPM in Z. A 12-station turret, hydraulic tailstock with an MT #4 quill, LNS Quick Load Servo bar feeder, chip conveyor, parts catcher, and tool presetter round out a production-ready package, all run by a Fanuc i-Series CNC control.
Compared with the earlier Doosan (Daewoo) Lynx 220 that preceded it, the 220A generation is a meaningfully better machine, not just a newer label. The A-series upgraded the control to the modern Fanuc i-Series with a faster processor, larger program memory, and a more intuitive conversational interface, and it brought a stiffer, more thermally stable bed and headstock for tighter, more repeatable tolerances. Faster rapids, quicker turret indexing, and improved chip and coolant management shorten cycle times and improve unattended reliability over the previous Lynx 220. For a buyer, that means the 220A delivers better accuracy, throughput, and bar-work automation than the machines that came before it - a real production upgrade, not just a model-year change.
