Overview

The DN Solutions LYNX 2600 Y adds Y-axis milling capability to the LYNX 2600 platform with a 10-inch chuck but without the sub-spindle. This is the right machine when your mid-size parts need off-center milled features but don't require backworking. You get true Y-axis milling at a significantly lower price point than the 2600 SY.

The main spindle delivers 18.5 kW (25 hp) at 3,500 RPM with 403 Nm (297 ft-lb) of torque through the 10-inch (254 mm) chuck. Max turning diameter is 380 mm (15 in) with 610 mm (24 in) of turning length. The 12-station turret runs live tools at 6,000 RPM, and the Y-axis provides ±52.5 mm (±2.07 in) of off-center travel for flats, pockets, hexagons, and off-center holes.

Without the sub-spindle, the 2600 Y is more compact and lighter than the SY variant — approximately 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) with a footprint of about 3,290 mm (130 in). Axis travels are 255 mm (10 in) on X, ±52.5 mm on Y, and 680 mm (27 in) on Z, with rapid traverse at 30/15/30 m/min.

The LYNX 2600 Y makes sense for shops that need Y-axis on parts in the 10-inch chuck range but either don't need backworking or prefer to do second ops on a separate machine. The $30-40K savings over the SY is significant for shops with mixed part requirements where not every job needs a sub-spindle. Valve bodies, hydraulic fittings, manifold blocks, and industrial components with turned surfaces and off-center milled features are the natural fit. FANUC 0i-TF Plus control is standard.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Y-axis + live tooling on a 10-inch chuck at a lower cost than the sub-spindle SY variant
403 Nm torque provides serious roughing authority in steel and alloy materials
380 mm max turning diameter with 610 mm turning length covers a wide range of mid-size parts
±52.5 mm Y-axis travel enables true off-center milling for flats, hexagons, and keyways
More compact than the 2600 SY without the sub-spindle
$30-40K savings over the 2600 SY for shops that don't need backworking

Limitations

No sub-spindle — backside operations require a second setup on another machine
3,500 RPM max spindle speed limits high-speed work on small aluminum parts
±52.5 mm Y-axis travel is the same as the smaller 2100 series
5,000 kg weight and 3,290 mm length require more floor space than LYNX 2100 variants

Best For

Shops needing Y-axis milling on 10-inch chuck parts without sub-spindle cost Hydraulic fitting and valve manufacturers with mid-size parts requiring flats and off-center features Job shops wanting Y-axis versatility in a mid-size lathe at LYNX-class pricing Industrial component manufacturers producing flanges and connectors with milled mounting features Shops stepping up from the LYNX 2100 LYB that need a larger work envelope

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What's the difference between the LYNX 2600 Y and the 2600 SY?

The 2600 SY adds a sub-spindle for machining both ends of the part in one cycle. The 2600 Y has the same Y-axis and live tooling but no sub-spindle. Choose the Y when parts only need one-end machining and save $30-40K.

02 How does the 2600 Y compare to the LYNX 2600 M?

The 2600 M has live tooling with C-axis but no Y-axis. The 2600 Y adds ±52.5 mm of off-center travel for true milling of flats and pockets. If your parts only need on-center drilling and tapping, the M is sufficient. For off-center features, you need the Y.

03 Can I add a tailstock to the LYNX 2600 Y?

Yes, a programmable tailstock is available for supporting longer shaft-type workpieces. With 610 mm of turning length, the 2600 Y handles shaft work with tailstock support that the 2100 series can't accommodate.

04 What Y-axis operations can this machine perform?

The ±52.5 mm Y-axis enables milling flats, hexagons, keyways, D-cuts, off-center holes, and small pockets. Any feature that's off the spindle centerline benefits from the Y-axis. Common examples include hex flats on fittings, keyways on shafts, and off-center drilled holes on valve bodies.
