Looking for a turning center that can handle both precision and heavy-duty machining with ease? The Lynx 2600 offers the perfect balance of power, accuracy, and speed to meet the most demanding production needs. Whether you're working with complex geometries or high-volume runs, the Lynx 2600 delivers the versatility and reliability to boost your shop's performance. Discover how this high-performance machine can elevate your machining operations.

Lynx 2600: Built for High-Precision Machining

The Lynx 2600 is one of the best lynx horizontal turning centers. It offers both strength and precision. It features a max turning diameter of 460 mm (18.1 inches) and a turning length of 658 mm (25.9 inches), allowing it to handle larger, more complex workpieces with ease. Whether the job requires turning long shafts or machining intricate components, the Lynx 2600 provides the stability and precision needed to produce high-quality parts consistently.

Power and Speed for Optimized Performance

The Lynx 2600, one of many of the lynx series, is designed with a high-powered spindle that operates at speeds up to 3500 rpm. Backed by an 18.5 kW (24.8 HP) spindle motor, this turning center delivers the performance required for both high-speed operations and heavier machining tasks. This combination of power and speed ensures that jobs are completed quickly, efficiently, and without sacrificing precision.

Manufacturers with demanding production schedules benefit from the Lynx 2600's ability to rapidly machine parts while maintaining consistent quality. For example, a supplier to the aerospace industry recently noted how the Doosan Lynx 2600 reduced their cycle times without compromising on accuracy, allowing them to meet tight deadlines.

Flexible and Fast Tooling System

Tool changes can often slow down production, but the Lynx 2600 is equipped with a 12-station turret designed for quick and seamless tool transitions. The indexing time of just 0.15 seconds means operators can switch between tools in the middle of a job with minimal downtime. This flexibility enhances productivity, especially when handling jobs with multiple operations such as turning, facing, and threading.

In one machining facility, the DN Solutions Lynx 2600 helped streamline operations by allowing operators to perform multiple tasks in a single setup, eliminating the need for multiple machines and reducing overall cycle times.

Advanced Tailstock for Stability

For parts requiring support during machining, the Lynx 2600 comes equipped with a CNC tailstock. This tailstock offers a quill taper of MT#4, providing the stability needed for longer workpieces. Operators working on parts such as shafts or rods will appreciate the additional support that helps maintain precision and consistency during lengthwise machining.

Maximized Efficiency with High-Speed Movement

Speed is a critical factor in today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, and the Lynx 2600 delivers in this area. With a rapid traverse rate of 30 m/min (1181.1 ipm) on both the X and Z axes, it ensures that positioning and movement between cutting operations are as fast as possible. This high-speed movement, combined with the machine’s ability to handle both large and small parts, reduces overall cycle times and increases throughput.

The X-axis travel distance of 255 mm (10.0 inches) and the Z-axis travel distance of 680 mm (26.8 inches) provide ample movement, enabling the machine to handle a wide range of part sizes. Shops can produce larger components with ease, while maintaining the flexibility to work on smaller precision parts when necessary.

User-Friendly Controls for Seamless Operation

The Lynx 2600 features the DN Solutions Fanuc i Plus CNC system, which provides operators with an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. With a 15-inch color display and EZ-Guide i programming, the system simplifies the setup process and allows for seamless operation. USB and Ethernet connectivity further enhance workflow by ensuring fast data transfer and easy program management.

Operators benefit from the system’s user-friendly design, which reduces the time spent on setup and programming, allowing them to focus on production. One operator noted how the Lynx 2600 drastically reduced setup times, making it easier to transition between jobs and handle larger production volumes with ease.

Built to Last with High Rigidity

Durability is a crucial consideration in any turning center, and the Lynx 2600 excels in this area. With its roller-type LM guideways for the X and Z axes, the machine provides the rigidity needed for heavy-duty cutting operations while maintaining precision. These guideways also minimize vibration during machining, which extends tool life and improves the overall quality of the parts being produced.

In industries where high-volume production is the norm, reliability and longevity are essential. The Lynx 2600 is built to handle the rigors of heavy-duty machining over extended periods, making it a valuable investment for any shop.
