Overview

The DN Solutions LYNX 2600SY is a mid-size turning center with Y-axis, sub-spindle, and live tooling that covers the sweet spot between the compact LYNX 2100 class and the heavier PUMA series. The SY designation denotes sub-spindle (S) and Y-axis (Y) capability, making it the most fully featured machine in the LYNX lineup and the closest thing the LYNX series offers to a complete mill-turn solution without stepping up to the PUMA SMX multi-tasking platform.

The main spindle carries an A2-6 nose driven by a 18.5 kW (25 hp) motor producing 350 Nm (258 ft-lb) of torque at speeds up to 4,500 RPM. The 10-inch chuck handles larger turned parts than the 2100 series, and the 82 mm (3.2 in) through-bore accommodates standard bar stock for production work. This spindle specification positions the LYNX 2600SY as a capable mid-size production machine rather than the entry-level positioning of the smaller LYNX models.

The Y-axis delivers ±52.5 mm (±2.1 in) of off-center travel for milling features outside the part centerline. The sub-spindle runs an A2-5 nose with 11 kW (15 hp) at up to 5,000 RPM, picking up parts after main spindle operations for complete back-face machining. Together, the SY configuration allows most medium-complexity parts to exit the machine fully finished — turned, drilled, tapped, and milled on both faces — in a single setup.

The 12-station BMT 65 live-tool turret drives tools at up to 4,000 RPM with 5.5 kW (7.5 hp). Z-axis travel extends to 830 mm (32.7 in) on the main spindle side, accommodating shaft work and longer parts than the 2100 series. Linear guide construction provides faster rapids (30 m/min on X and Z) compared to the box-way PUMA DNT series, at the cost of some vibration damping on interrupted cuts.

Pricing runs $140,000-$200,000 new. The LYNX 2600SY competes with the Mazak Quick Turn Nexus 250 II MSY and the Haas ST-20SY in this class. For shops that have outgrown the 2100 series or need sub-spindle capability in a 10-inch chuck machine without the full cost of the PUMA platform, this is the logical choice.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Y-axis plus sub-spindle in the 10-inch chuck class enables complete part machining — turned, milled, and drilled on both faces — in a single setup
4,500 RPM spindle with 350 Nm torque handles both aggressive steel roughing and finer aluminum finishing without compromise
Y-axis travel of ±52.5 mm (±2.1 in) covers the majority of off-center milling requirements on medium-size turned parts
30 m/min rapids on X and Z minimize non-cutting time during high-cycle production runs
BMT 65 turret with 5.5 kW driven tool power handles substantial milling operations including slotting and keyway cutting
Competitive pricing for a Y-axis and sub-spindle machine in the 10-inch chuck class compared to PUMA-series equivalents

Limitations

Linear guide construction provides less vibration damping than box-way lathes — heavy interrupted cuts in large forgings and castings will benefit from the PUMA DNT instead
Sub-spindle bore at 65 mm (2.6 in) is smaller than the main spindle's 82 mm (3.2 in) — limits back-face operations on larger-diameter bar stock
Complexity of Y-axis + sub-spindle + live tooling programming increases operator skill requirements versus simpler 2-axis lathes
7,000 kg (15,432 lb) weight requires solid floor preparation despite being lighter than box-way equivalents
4,000 RPM driven tool speed is lower than the smaller LYNX 2100MA's 5,000 RPM — a trade-off for the heavier BMT 65 turret interface

Best For

Mid-size job shops turning complex parts with off-center features, requiring complete machining from a single setup in a 10-inch chuck machine Production facilities making hydraulic components, valve bodies, and precision assemblies that need both faces and all features complete without rechucking Contract manufacturers competing on price-per-part who need to minimize setup time and secondary operations Shops processing automotive, medical, and aerospace components in aluminum, stainless, and alloy steel with moderate complexity Operations that have outgrown the LYNX 2100 class in both chuck size and part complexity without yet needing the full PUMA SMX multi-tasking capability

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the LYNX 2600SY and the PUMA DNT 2600M?

The LYNX 2600SY has Y-axis and sub-spindle capability that the standard PUMA DNT 2600M lacks, making it more capable for complex part completion. The PUMA DNT 2600M uses box-way construction for heavier rigidity and is better suited for tough interrupted cuts in large forgings. The LYNX 2600SY's linear guides give it faster rapids and better cycle efficiency on lighter production work. They serve different priorities: LYNX for complexity and speed, PUMA DNT for raw turning power.

02 Can the LYNX 2600SY run unattended production with a bar feeder?

Yes. The 78 mm (3.1 in) through-bore accommodates bar stock for automated production, and the sub-spindle enables complete part machining without operator intervention between main and back-face operations. Combined with a bar feeder, this creates an effective lights-out turning cell for medium-complexity parts.

03 How does the LYNX 2600SY compare to the Haas ST-20SY?

Both are Y-axis, sub-spindle turning centers in the 10-inch chuck class at similar price points. The LYNX 2600SY offers higher spindle torque and live tool power. The Haas ST-20SY benefits from Haas's extensive North American service network, lower consumable and tooling costs, and wide operator familiarity with the Haas control. The LYNX 2600SY delivers more turning power and higher-specification live tooling; Haas wins on support ecosystem and total cost of ownership for many smaller shops.

04 What does the LYNX 2600SY cost new?

New pricing typically runs $140,000-$200,000 depending on configuration. Options including chip conveyor, high-pressure coolant, bar feeder interface, parts catcher, and tool setter add cost. The machine comes standard with Y-axis and sub-spindle as part of the SY designation — these are not separately priced options.

05 Is the LYNX 2600SY appropriate for medical implant machining?

It can handle medical implant components within its turning envelope — the 4,500 RPM spindle and precision linear guides are appropriate for titanium and stainless medical components. However, medical implant work often requires 5-axis machining centers or dedicated medical lathes with specific cleanliness and traceability features. The LYNX 2600SY is better suited to mid-complexity medical components like surgical instrument bodies, fixation device components, and housings rather than precision joint implants.
