Doosan Machine Tools (CEO Jae-seop Kim) has just launched the Lynx 2600Y/SY series to complete its Lynx Y series lineup. The newly released series is a 10-inch class CNC turning center designed for the precision-machining of metal parts of diverse shapes such as valves, shafts, gears, flanges, and fittings, and has a maximum machining diameter of 380mm and a maximum machining length of 610mm. 
Maintaining the global-top-level cutting capability of previous models in the Lynx 220Y series, the new product’s life cycle has been extended and its operation made far easier by enhancing its durability and operational convenience.

Excellent Machining Ability Suitable for Cutting Small and Medium-Size Parts with Complex Shapes
Equipped with a powerful 18.5kW motor, the new series increases productivity when machining parts including external and internal diameters as well as U-drill processing. In addition, the adoption of a 5000r/min rotating milling tool supported by a highly stable BMT structure, combined with the adoption of the Y-axis to allow the free maneuverability of rotating tools, makes it possible to perform various complex shape processing such as groove finishing, multifaceted processing, and circular interpolation with even greater precision. The internal bearing structure has been improved to bolster the rigidity of the spindle unit, which generates the largest load during machining, while the application of a low-vibration structure design to the spindle housing, feed shaft, and bed surface maintains high productivity even during prolonged mechanical operations.  

Realization of High Productivity through Minimized Non-Cutting Time
Fast and precise high-rigidity roller-type LM guide is applied to all axes. The low-vibration, low-noise structure spindle optimized for powerful cutting, coupled with the stable servo-driven turret, maintains constant performance for a long period of time without malfunction due to temperature changes among other factors. The adoption of the CNC tailstock has made tailstock positioning and workpiece setting on the control panel easier while raising productivity in maintenance and repairs by reducing the setting time by as much as 50%. 

Simpler Setting and Maintenance Processes Enhance User Convenience 
The new product features a setting function which automatically measures workpieces in order to facilitate workpiece and tool setting, and a tool monitoring function that informs the user of the tool change time. Using the tool setter, the operator can complete tool measurement and calibration setting using a single button, reducing the setting time by more than half. Furthermore, in the event of an abnormality during operation, an alarm guidance message is automatically generated to inform the user of the location of the problem and recommend a corrective action, thereby minimizing unnecessary waiting time.
