Doosan Lynx 2600SY Turning Machine Uses New FANUC Controller

Doosan Machine Tools introduces the Lynx 2600SY, the latest generation in the popular Lynx series of compact turning centers with a Y-axis. The new machine incorporates all the design features of the popular Lynx 2100LSYB into a slightly larger platform.

Doosan says customer feedback played a large role in the development of the new model. The company designed the Lynx 2600SY signed to provide maximum flexibility and versatility for job shops that want to handle a wider range of projects without stepping up in size to a Puma Series boxway machine.

The Lynx 2600SY includes a rigid bed structure and incorporates roller-type LM guides for all axes. The maximum turning diameter and length are 14.9” and 24” respectively, and the main spindle incorporates a 10” chuck while the sub-spindle handles either a 6” or 8” chuck size. The main, 25-hp spindle has a speed of 3,500 rpm while the 15-hp sub-spindle turns at 4,500 rpm, making quick work of complex parts. The Y-axis travel is 4.13”, and Doosan includes a 12-station servo-driven BMT tool turret with a half-index feature (24 positions) standard.

A new feature on the Lynx 2600SY is FANUC’s latest controller, the 0i-TF Plus, which is available with an optional iHMI user interface for increased ease-of-use. The 0i-TF Plus features 3D part views Doosan says offer more detail and are easily viewable on the expanded 15" touchscreen. The control is equipped with the Doosan EZ guide conversational programming feature, but does not remove the traditional G-code programming language.
