DN Solutions LYNX 2600 M

The DN Solutions LYNX 2600 M puts rotary tools on the 10 in LYNX 2600 without adding a Y axis. Its turret has 12 stations with tools driven at 6,000 rpm, and its main spindle is the group's 3,500 rpm unit with 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 403 N·m (297 ft-lb).

It sits between two siblings, and the table shows what each step is worth. Going from the two-axis LYNX 2600 to the M gains the driven tools and two more stations, since the LYNX 2600 has 10, while the turning envelope narrows from 460 mm (18 in) by 658 mm (26 in) to 380 mm (15 in) by 610 mm (24 in). Weight barely moves, 4,750 kg (10,472 lb) for the LYNX 2600 against 4,800 kg (10,582 lb) here. Going on to the LYNX 2600 Y gains 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel and takes the machine to 5,750 kg (12,677 lb).

So the M is the choice when the milled content is simple. With X travel of 255 mm (10 in), Z travel of 680 mm (27 in) and no Y, a driven tool stays on the spindle centreline. That handles radial and axial holes, tapped bolt patterns, and slots or flats produced by feeding straight across. It does not handle a pocket or keyway whose walls sit off centre. If such features appear only now and then, a second operation elsewhere may be the better answer than the heavier Y machine.

One gap in DN's table matters for this variant: it gives 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) for turning but no power or torque figure at all for the rotary tools. Ask for it before quoting milling cycle times. Rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm). The machine measures 3,290 × 1,778 × 1,790 mm (130 × 70 × 70 in) in length, width and height, and DN lists grease lubrication and a rear-side chip conveyor for the series.
