DN Solutions vs DN Solutions · CNC Lathes
Summary
The DN Solutions LYNX 2100G and the DN Solutions LYNX 2600 share an 18.5 kW (25 hp) spindle rating and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapids, but they are built for different part sizes. The LYNX 2100G is a small-parts machine on a 6 in chuck with a 170 mm turning diameter, aimed at short cycles and automated loading. The LYNX 2600 takes a 10 in chuck and turns parts up to 460 mm (18 in) in diameter.
The LYNX 2100G is faster, at 6,000 rpm against 3,500 rpm, and smaller: 2,900 kg (6,393 lb) on 2,090 × 1,400 mm (82 × 55 in) against 4,750 kg (10,472 lb) on 3,290 × 1,778 mm (130 × 70 in). The LYNX 2600 has 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) of torque against 118 N·m (87 ft-lb), and 658 mm (26 in) of turning length against 330 mm (13 in).

Advantages
DN Solutions LYNX 2100G
- 6,000 rpm spindle against 3,500 rpm for small diameters
- Smaller machine: 2,900 kg (6,393 lb) on 2,090 × 1,400 mm (82 × 55 in), against 4,750 kg (10,472 lb)
- Aimed at automated loading of small chucked parts
DN Solutions LYNX 2600
- 460 mm (18 in) turning diameter against 170 mm
- 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) of torque against 118 N·m (87 ft-lb)
- 658 mm (26 in) turning length against 330 mm (13 in)
- 680 mm (27 in) of Z travel against 340 mm (13 in)
Verdict
With the same 18.5 kW (25 hp) rating, part size decides. Choose the DN Solutions LYNX 2100G for high-volume small parts under 170 mm diameter, where 6,000 rpm and a compact 2,900 kg (6,393 lb) machine suit an automated cell. Choose the DN Solutions LYNX 2600 for larger chucked and shaft work up to 460 mm (18 in) in diameter and 658 mm (26 in) long, and for heavy roughing that draws on its 403 N·m (297 ft-lb).
