Overview

The DN Solutions LYNX 2600 Y is a 10 in chuck turning center with rotary tools and a Y axis. Its table lists 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel alongside 250 mm (10 in) of X and 680 mm (27 in) of Z, a maximum turning diameter of 380 mm (15 in) and a turning length of 610 mm (24 in).

Y travel is the row that defines the model. It lets a rotary tool leave the spindle centreline, so square-sided keyways, flats finished with the side of an end mill, off-centre holes and small pockets can be cut in the same chucking as the turning. The LYNX 2600 M carries the same chuck, the same spindle and the same 6,000 rpm rotary tools but has no Y row and weighs 4,800 kg (10,582 lb); at 5,750 kg (12,677 lb) the Y machine is about 20% heavier.

The main spindle is laid out for torque ahead of speed: 3,500 rpm, 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 403 N·m (297 ft-lb). That favours large-diameter steel and interrupted cuts in the 10 in chuck, and it caps surface speed on small diameters. For comparison the LYNX 2100 B, an 8 in machine, lists 169 N·m (125 ft-lb) at 4,500 rpm. The turret has 12 stations. DN gives no power or torque figure for the rotary tools, only their speed.

Milling capability takes some turning envelope. The two-axis LYNX 2600 turns 460 mm (18 in) in diameter and 658 mm (26 in) in length with the same Z travel. Plan the installation around 3,425 × 1,920 × 2,095 mm (135 × 76 × 82 in) in length, width and height. Rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm), and DN's series features include a servo-driven turret, grease lubrication, full slideway covers and a rear-side chip conveyor.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

105 mm (4 in) of Y travel for off-centre milling and drilling in the turning setup
403 N·m (297 ft-lb) of spindle torque from 18.5 kW (25 hp), suited to heavy cuts in a 10 in chuck
Rotary tools at 6,000 rpm on a 12-station turret
680 mm (27 in) of Z travel with a 610 mm (24 in) turning length covers shaft work as well as chucked parts
At 5,750 kg (12,677 lb) it carries about 20% more mass than the 4,800 kg (10,582 lb) LYNX 2600 M

Limitations

Main spindle tops out at 3,500 rpm, which limits surface speed on small diameters
Maximum turning diameter is 380 mm (15 in), against 460 mm (18 in) on the two-axis LYNX 2600
The table gives no power or torque for the rotary tools, so milling capacity has to be confirmed with DN
Needs 3,425 mm (135 in) of length and 1,920 mm (76 in) of width, and a floor that takes 5,750 kg (12,677 lb)

Best For

Turned parts with off-centre milled features, done in one chucking 10 in chuck work in steel that needs 403 N·m (297 ft-lb) Shafts up to 610 mm (24 in) with keyways or flats Shops that want Y-axis milling without a separate machining center operation

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How much Y-axis travel does the LYNX 2600 Y have?

105 mm (4 in). X travel is 250 mm (10 in) and Z travel is 680 mm (27 in). The Y stroke is what lets rotary tools cut away from the spindle centreline, which the LYNX 2600 M cannot do because its table has no Y row.

02 What is the difference between the LYNX 2600 Y and the LYNX 2600 M?

The Y axis. Both have a 10 in chuck, a 3,500 rpm spindle with 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 403 N·m (297 ft-lb), 12 turret stations, rotary tools at 6,000 rpm and a 380 mm (15 in) by 610 mm (24 in) turning envelope. The LYNX 2600 M lists 255 mm (10 in) of X travel, no Y, and 4,800 kg (10,582 lb). The LYNX 2600 Y lists 250 mm (10 in) of X, 105 mm (4 in) of Y and 5,750 kg (12,677 lb).

03 What size of part fits the LYNX 2600 Y?

The maximum turning diameter is 380 mm (15 in) and the maximum turning length is 610 mm (24 in), with a 10 in chuck. If the work is plain turning of larger diameters, the two-axis LYNX 2600 lists 460 mm (18 in) and 658 mm (26 in).

04 Is the LYNX 2600 Y spindle suited to small, fast work?

Not especially. It runs to 3,500 rpm with 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 403 N·m (297 ft-lb), which is a torque-biased rating for a 10 in chuck. For small diameters the LYNX 2100 A lists 6,000 rpm on a 6 in chuck, though without a Y axis or rotary tools in its column.

05 What space does the LYNX 2600 Y take up?

DN lists 3,425 × 1,920 × 2,095 mm (135 × 76 × 82 in) as length, width and height and a machine weight of 5,750 kg (12,677 lb). Add room for the rear-side chip conveyor DN lists for the series and for bar or part handling at the spindle end.
