DN Solutions vs DN Solutions · CNC Lathes
Summary
The DN Solutions LYNX 2600 and the DN Solutions PUMA 1000 are both turning-only lathes, but they serve different jobs. The LYNX 2600 is a mid-size chucking lathe for parts up to 460 mm (18 in) in diameter and 658 mm (26 in) long. The PUMA 1000 is a heavy lathe for shafts, rolls and flanges up to 1,000 mm (39 in) in diameter and 2,040 mm (80 in) long, weighing 21,000 kg (46,297 lb) as the 1000A and 23,000 kg (50,706 lb) as the 1000B.
The LYNX 2600 is the faster machine: 3,500 rpm against 500 RPM (1000A) or 300 RPM (1000B), and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapids against 12 m/min (472 in/min). The PUMA 1000 is rated 75 kW (101 hp) against 18.5 kW (25 hp), with 11,011 Nm (8,121 ft-lb) or 12,040 Nm (8,880 ft-lb) of torque against 403 N·m (297 ft-lb).

Advantages
DN Solutions LYNX 2600
- 3,500 rpm spindle against 500 RPM (1000A) or 300 RPM (1000B)
- 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapids against 12 m/min (472 in/min)
- A 4,750 kg (10,472 lb) machine against 21,000 kg (46,297 lb) or more
DN Solutions PUMA 1000
- 1,000 mm (39 in) turning diameter against 460 mm (18 in)
- 2,040 mm (80 in) turning length against 658 mm (26 in)
- 75 kW (101 hp) spindle against 18.5 kW (25 hp)
- Up to 12,040 Nm (8,880 ft-lb) of torque against 403 N·m (297 ft-lb)
Verdict
Choose by part size. The DN Solutions LYNX 2600 fits general chucked and shaft work up to 460 mm (18 in) in diameter, where 3,500 rpm and quick rapids keep cycle times short on a 4,750 kg (10,472 lb) machine. The DN Solutions PUMA 1000 is for heavy shafts, rolls and flanges up to 1,000 mm (39 in) in diameter and 2,040 mm (80 in) long, cut at low speed with 75 kW (101 hp) and up to 12,040 Nm (8,880 ft-lb) at the spindle.
