A Southern star!

DNX 2100 series of multi-tasking mill-turn machines

Mills CNC to showcase a new DN Solutions’ advanced DNX 2100S multi-axis mill-turn machine on its stand (C160) at the Southern Manufacturing Show in February.

Mills CNC, the exclusive distributor of DN Solutions’ and Zayer machine tools in the UK and Ireland, has announced that it will be showcasing a model from its recently-introduced and innovative DNX 2100 series of multi-tasking mill-turn machines on its stand (C160) at the Southern Manufacturing Show in February 2026.

The compact 8” chuck (65mm bar capacity) DNX 2100S is powerful, fast, accurate and flexible, and has been designed to machine complex, high-precision parts in one hit.

The rigidly-designed and built machine delivers increased productivity and improved process efficiencies and is equipped with two (L and R) opposing 18.5kW/5000rpm spindles, a 12,000rpm B-axis milling head with 0.0001-degree indexing capabilities, a large-capacity ATC (up to 60 tools), integrated thermal compensation (via eight strategically-located sensors), in-process tool and workpiece measurement and a sophisticated tool break detection facility.

DNX 2100S machines can also be supplied with either the latest Fanuc 0iTF Plus or Siemens Sinumerik One control system.

In addition to providing component manufacturers with the ability to complete six-side machining of complex parts in a single set-up, the integration of the large-capacity tool changer makes the DNX 2100S the ideal machining solution for fast and efficient small batch processing, significantly reducing, if not entirely eliminating, frequent, time-consuming and costly tool change operations.

To improve the machine’s productivity potential still further, the DNX 2100S can be integrated with a bar-feeder and/or a range of robot load/unload systems that include Mills CNC’s high-performance SYNERGi Premier, Sprint etc.), enabling it to run, interrupted, over long periods of time.

“DNX 2100S multi-tasking mill-turn machines open up a whole new ‘high-productivity’ reality for all component manufacturers, irrespective of their size, and can transform their machine shops’ process and operational efficiencies.

“We introduced a new 10” chuck (larger bore) DNX 2100SB model at our recently-held one-hit machining technology event held at our Campus facility in October 2025 where it proved to be the star of the Show.

“We’re expecting a similar reaction to the DNX 2100S when it makes its debut at the Southern Manufacturing Show in February 2026. 

“So, why not visit our Stand (C160) to see, what will undoubtedly be, the Southern Manufacturing’s star attraction for yourself.”
