Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DN Solutions LYNX 2600SY is the heaviest of the LYNX 2600 group at 6,000 kg (13,228 lb): a 10 in chuck, Y-axis turning center whose main spindle delivers 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) up to 3,500 rpm, with rotary tools that reach 6,000 rpm.

Read row by row, DN's comparison table gives it the figures of the LYNX 2600 Y: 380 mm (15 in) maximum turning diameter, 610 mm (24 in) turning length, travels of 250 mm (10 in), 105 mm (4 in) and 680 mm (27 in) for X, Y and Z, 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 12 turret stations. Machine weight is the single row that differs, 6,000 kg (13,228 lb) against 5,750 kg (12,677 lb) for the LYNX 2600 Y. Nothing in the table says what the extra mass is. A buyer choosing between the two should get DN's full specification for each instead of reading it into the model code.

What the figures do settle is the kind of turning this machine is for. A 3,500 rpm limit paired with 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) points at heavy cuts on large diameters. The 6 in LYNX 2100 A, by contrast, lists 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) and 6,000 rpm, roughly a third of the torque with a much higher top speed. Small parts that want surface speed belong on the smaller machine. Forgings, castings and thick-walled rings that fill a 10 in chuck belong here.

The Y stroke and the driven tools let milled flats, cross holes and off-centre features be finished without moving the part to another machine. Whether a part comes off complete also depends on equipment the table does not describe, so settle that with DN before ordering. For installation, allow 3,425 mm (135 in) by 1,920 mm (76 in) of floor and 2,095 mm (82 in) of height. Rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Heaviest LYNX 2600 variant at 6,000 kg (13,228 lb), with Y-axis travel of 105 mm (4 in)
18.5 kW (25 hp) main spindle producing 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) for roughing in a 10 in chuck
Driven tools reach 6,000 rpm, served by 12 turret stations
Turning envelope of 380 mm (15 in) by 610 mm (24 in) with 680 mm (27 in) of Z stroke

Limitations

DN's table shows no row other than weight that separates it from the LYNX 2600 Y, so what the heavier model adds must be confirmed
3,500 rpm ceiling; the LYNX 2100 A offers 6,000 rpm for small-diameter work
Turns 380 mm (15 in), less than the 460 mm (18 in) of the plain LYNX 2600
A 6,000 kg (13,228 lb) machine standing 2,095 mm (82 in) high needs checking against floor capacity and door height

Best For

Heavy turning of forgings and castings in a 10 in chuck Parts that combine turning with off-centre milling Work that needs 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) more than high rpm Larger components up to 380 mm (15 in) diameter

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the LYNX 2600SY and the LYNX 2600 Y?

In DN's comparison table the only row that differs is machine weight: 6,000 kg (13,228 lb) for the LYNX 2600SY and 5,750 kg (12,677 lb) for the LYNX 2600 Y. Chuck size, turning envelope, travels, spindle speed, power, torque, turret stations and rotary tool speed are listed the same. The table does not state what accounts for the weight, so ask DN for the complete specification of both.

02 What are the travels of the LYNX 2600SY?

X travel is 250 mm (10 in), Y travel is 105 mm (4 in) and Z travel is 680 mm (27 in). Rapid traverse is listed as 30 m/min (1,181 ipm). The maximum turning length is 610 mm (24 in), shorter than the Z stroke.

03 How strong is the LYNX 2600SY main spindle?

It is rated 18.5 kW (25 hp) with 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) of torque and a top speed of 3,500 rpm, behind a 10 in chuck. For scale, the 8 in LYNX 2100 B lists 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) at 15 kW (20 hp), so this machine has well over double the torque.

04 Would the plain LYNX 2600 be enough instead of the LYNX 2600SY?

If the parts are turned only, possibly. The LYNX 2600 has the same 3,500 rpm, 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) spindle, turns a larger 460 mm (18 in) diameter and 658 mm (26 in) length, and weighs 4,750 kg (10,472 lb). Its table has 10 turret stations and no rotary tool or Y row, so any milling would move to another machine.

05 What should be checked before installing a LYNX 2600SY?

The weight and the envelope. The machine is listed at 6,000 kg (13,228 lb) and 3,425 × 1,920 × 2,095 mm (135 × 76 × 82 in) as length, width and height. Confirm floor loading, the route in through doors, and space behind the machine, since DN lists a rear-side chip conveyor for the series.
