Overview

The DN Solutions LYNX 2600 is the plain two-axis lathe of its group: a 10 in chuck, a 460 mm (18 in) maximum turning diameter, a 658 mm (26 in) turning length and a 10-station turret. The spindle runs to 3,500 rpm with 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 403 N·m (297 ft-lb).

Leaving out driven tools buys turning capacity. The LYNX 2600 M, which adds 6,000 rpm rotary tools and a 12-station turret to the same spindle and the same travels, is limited to 380 mm (15 in) in diameter and 610 mm (24 in) in length. So for work that is purely turned, this is the variant that swings the largest part, and it does so at 4,750 kg (10,472 lb), the lightest weight in the LYNX 2600 group.

The torque figure is what separates this machine from the smaller Lynx lathes. The LYNX 2100 B, with an 8 in chuck, lists 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) and 15 kW (20 hp) and turns 350 mm (14 in) by 330 mm (13 in). With 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) available, deep roughing passes on diameters near the top of the envelope are realistic, where a smaller spindle would stall or need lighter cuts. The other side of that rating is the 3,500 rpm limit: finishing small diameters at proper surface speed is not what this spindle is geared for.

Travels are 255 mm (10 in) in X and 680 mm (27 in) in Z, both moving at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in rapid. Ten stations is fewer than the 12 on the driven-tool models, so long tool lists with duplicate inserts need planning. DN gives the machine as 3,290 × 1,778 × 1,790 mm (130 × 70 × 70 in) in length, width and height. Series features listed by DN are a servo-driven turret, full slideway cover, grease lubrication, a rear-side dual-purpose chip conveyor and the EOP (Easy Operation Package).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Largest turning envelope of the LYNX 2600 group: 460 mm (18 in) diameter by 658 mm (26 in) length
403 N·m (297 ft-lb) at the spindle from an 18.5 kW (25 hp) motor
Lightest of the group at 4,750 kg (10,472 lb), with a 3,290 mm (130 in) by 1,778 mm (70 in) plan size
680 mm (27 in) of Z travel and 255 mm (10 in) of X travel at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapid
DN lists the EOP (Easy Operation Package) and a servo-driven turret among the series features

Limitations

10 turret stations, where the LYNX 2600 M has 12
No rotary tool or Y-axis row in the table: holes off the centreline and milled features go to another machine
3,500 rpm maximum spindle speed restricts surface speed on small diameters
The table lists no tailstock or bar capacity figure, so both have to be asked for

Best For

Plain turning of parts up to 460 mm (18 in) diameter Heavy roughing that draws on 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) Long chucked or shaft work up to 658 mm (26 in) Shops that mill on separate machines and want maximum swing

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the maximum turning size of the LYNX 2600?

460 mm (18 in) in diameter and 658 mm (26 in) in length, with a 10 in chuck. X travel is 255 mm (10 in) and Z travel is 680 mm (27 in). These are the largest turning figures in the LYNX 2600 group; the LYNX 2600 M, LYNX 2600 Y and LYNX 2600SY each list 380 mm (15 in) and 610 mm (24 in).

02 How many tools does the LYNX 2600 turret hold?

The table lists 10 stations. The LYNX 2600 M and LYNX 2600 Y have 12 stations and rotary tools at 6,000 rpm. With 10 fixed-tool stations, check that the roughing, finishing, grooving, threading and boring tools for the longest job all fit without a tool change by hand.

03 Can the LYNX 2600 do milling or cross drilling?

Not according to its table, which has no rotary tool speed and no Y travel. The LYNX 2600 M is the sibling with rotary tools at 6,000 rpm on the same 18.5 kW (25 hp) spindle, and the LYNX 2600 Y adds 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel. Both give up turning envelope compared with the 460 mm (18 in) of this model.

04 How does the LYNX 2600 compare with the LYNX 2100 B?

It is a class larger. The LYNX 2100 B has an 8 in chuck, 4,500 rpm, 15 kW (20 hp), 169 N·m (125 ft-lb), a 350 mm (14 in) by 330 mm (13 in) envelope and weighs 3,100 kg (6,834 lb). The LYNX 2600 has a 10 in chuck, 3,500 rpm, 18.5 kW (25 hp), 403 N·m (297 ft-lb), a 460 mm (18 in) by 658 mm (26 in) envelope and weighs 4,750 kg (10,472 lb).

05 What are the dimensions and weight of the LYNX 2600?

DN lists 3,290 × 1,778 × 1,790 mm (130 × 70 × 70 in) as length, width and height, and 4,750 kg (10,472 lb). A rear-side chip conveyor is listed for the series, so allow for it behind the machine when laying out the cell.
