Lynx Series

DN Solutions (formerly Doosan Machine Tools) Lynx series features high accuracy compact horizontal lathes. The machines produce superior surface finishes and offer multiple options to provide a customizable solution to your turning applications. With models featuring for 6", 8" or 10" chucks, extended turning lengths, milling, sub-spindle, and y-axis capabilities, these high-speed machines will have your production line moving faster and in the right direction.

LYNX 2600SY Y-Axis Sub-Spindle Turning Center for Complex, One-Setup Parts

The DN Solutions LYNX 2600SY is a Y-axis sub-spindle CNC turning center built to complete complex, multi-operation parts in a single setup. As one of the horizontal turning centers in Ellison's turning centers lineup, it pairs a 3,500 RPM, 25 hp main spindle with a full C-axis sub-spindle and Y-axis milling, so shops can turn, mill, drill, and tap a part front and back without a second workholding step. Ellison Technologies, the largest DN Solutions distributor in North America, supplies the LYNX 2600SY for shops moving from separate turning and milling operations into one-setup production.

Energy and Oil & Gas Components

Valve bodies, manifold blocks, and other pressure-rated turned parts common in energy and oil & gas production need tight bore tolerances and clean threaded connections cut in one chucking. The LYNX 2600SY's Y-axis milling and full C-axis sub-spindle machine cross-holes, flats, and back-side features without a second setup, and the 3.19 in. bar capacity handles the heavier stock these parts typically start from.

Automotive and Powertrain Components

Flanged shafts, gearbox housings, and other automotive powertrain parts often need turning, milling, and cross-drilling before they're ready for assembly. The LYNX 2600SY's sub-spindle transfers a part for back-side machining while the main spindle starts the next piece, cutting setup time on high-mix production runs. The 12-station, 24-position turret keeps enough tooling on hand to run these multi-feature parts complete.

Agricultural Equipment Components

Shafts, couplings, and hydraulic fittings for agricultural equipment carry the same complete-in-one-setup demands as energy and automotive parts. The LYNX 2600SY's Y-axis reaches both above and below centerline, so keyways, flats, and off-center holes finish on the machine instead of moving to a secondary mill.

Rigid Foundation with Optimized Chip and Thermal Control

The machine's structural integrity begins with its one-piece, 30° slant-bed Meehanite® casting, designed to reduce vibration and maximize tool life even during aggressive material removal. Roller-type linear motion guideways deliver fast traverse speeds and high-load capacity across all axes. Each ball screw is double-anchored and directly coupled to high-torque servo motors, eliminating backlash and enhancing feed precision. Heat dissipation and chip evacuation are optimized through a bolt-on coolant tank and separated chip conveyor system, while optional high-pressure coolant systems (up to 1,000 PSI) enable faster drilling and extended tool life in deep-hole applications.

Integrated Sub-Spindle and Live Tooling for True Multi-Tasking

The Lynx 2600SY features a 3.0″ bar capacity main spindle and a 2.6″ sub-spindle, both capable of synchronized part transfer at high speeds (up to 5,000 rpm). The sub-spindle is driven by a 7.5 hp (5.5 kW) motor and supports back-side finishing without manual intervention. Its 12-station BMT-65 live tooling turret—capable of 5,000 rpm—enables full milling, tapping, and cross-drilling. Combined with 3.94″ of Y-axis travel, the 2600SY provides manufacturers with the tools to machine complex geometries like hex flats, gear profiles, off-axis holes, and multi-surface features without reclamping.

Operator-Friendly Controls with Smart Monitoring

Powered by the FANUC 0i-Plus CNC control system and a 15″ iHMi touchscreen interface, the Lynx 2600SY simplifies complex part programming with its EZ Guide i conversational software. Built-in Tool Load Monitoring and disturbance torque detection help prevent damage from tool wear or collisions by automatically pausing the cycle, triggering alarms, or switching tools. These features ensure consistent quality in high-mix environments where uptime, part accuracy, and repeatability are critical.

Designed for Automation, Productivity, and Shop Floor Integration

Ready for lights-out machining, the Lynx 2600SY includes a programmable part catcher, parts conveyor, and automation interfaces for bar feeders and robotics. Maintenance is streamlined with a long-life grease-based lubrication system, easy access chip pans, and a separate coolant tank to reduce heat transfer. Optional tool presetters and air blow systems further improve setup speed and process stability. Whether you're machining aerospace fittings, hydraulic manifolds, or automotive drive components, this machine is built for continuous, scalable productivity.

FAQ Section

What is the difference between the Lynx 2100SY and 2600SY?

While both models offer Y-axis milling and sub-spindle turning, the 2600SY has a higher bar capacity (3.0″ vs. 2.05″), larger turning diameter (14.8″ vs. 11.8″), and more power (30 hp vs. 20 hp). It's ideal for larger, heavier parts that require greater rigidity and torque.

Is the Lynx 2600SY suitable for lights-out or unmanned operation?

Yes. The machine includes automation-friendly features such as a part catcher, conveyor, barfeed interface, and optional robotic integration. Its rigid construction, smart monitoring systems, and maintenance-friendly design make it highly reliable for unattended shifts.

What kind of parts can be machined on a Lynx 2600SY?

This machine is ideal for multi-operation parts like hydraulic valve bodies, flanged shafts, gearbox components, and turned parts requiring secondary milling or cross-hole drilling. It’s frequently used in aerospace, medical, automotive, and general job shop production.

Does the machine support simultaneous machining on both spindles?

No, the Lynx 2600SY uses a synchronized transfer process—allowing part handoff from the main to sub-spindle—but it does not perform simultaneous dual-spindle cutting. However, it enables continuous cycle operations with back-end finishing.

How does the Tool Load Monitoring System help reduce downtime?

It continuously measures tool cutting forces and compares them to preset thresholds. If wear or breakage is detected, the machine can stop, issue an alarm, or trigger automatic tool change—minimizing scrap and unplanned downtime.
