Overview

The DN Solutions Puma 2600 is the workhorse 10-inch chuck lathe that's been earning its keep on shop floors worldwide since the Doosan days. It's a 2-axis horizontal turning center built on box ways, which means it soaks up vibration and holds tolerance on heavy interrupted cuts where linear guides would chatter. If you're turning steel flanges, hydraulic cylinders, or automotive shafts day in and day out, this is the class of machine that gets the job done without drama.

The main spindle runs an A2-8 nose with a 30 kW (40 hp) motor pushing 327 Nm (241 ft-lb) of torque at speeds up to 3,500 RPM. That's enough grunt to hog material in 4140 and stainless without babying the feeds. The 82 mm (3.2 in) through-bore handles bar stock up to that diameter, and the 10-inch chuck swings parts up to 481 mm (19 in) with a max turning length of 790 mm (31 in). You've got room for most mid-size production work.

Axis travels are 260 mm (10.2 in) on X and 830 mm (32.7 in) on Z, with rapids hitting 30 m/min on both axes. The 12-station turret indexes quickly and runs BMT tooling for rigidity. A programmable tailstock is available for shaft work.

DN Solutions runs the Fanuc 0i-Plus control with a 15-inch iHMI touchscreen and EZ Guide i conversational programming. Operators can toggle between conversational and G-code without switching modes. For shops already running Fanuc on their other machines, there's zero learning curve.

The Puma 2600 sits in the $90,000-$130,000 range new, depending on options. That positions it between the Haas ST-20Y and the DMG Mori NLX 2500 on price, while matching or exceeding both on raw turning power. Used Puma 2600s from 2015-2022 sell in the $30,000-$65,000 range with decent hours. Forum owners consistently praise the rigidity, quietness, and tolerance-holding ability of these machines. The box-way construction means they hold up over years of production abuse where lighter machines start losing accuracy. Specs sourced from DN Solutions published data and distributor documentation.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Box-way construction delivers superior rigidity and vibration damping for heavy interrupted cuts in tough materials like stainless and 4140
30 kW (40 hp) spindle with 327 Nm of torque outmuscles most competitors in the 10-inch chuck class on heavy roughing
82 mm (3.2 in) bar capacity and 10-inch chuck cover the sweet spot for mid-size production turning without upsizing the machine
30 m/min rapid traverse on both axes keeps non-cutting time low during production runs
Fanuc 0i-Plus control with iHMI touchscreen is the industry standard — operators and service techs know it inside out
Strong used market with machines holding value well, and extensive Doosan/DN Solutions dealer network across North America
Proven platform with decades of production history; the Puma 2600 lineage goes back to Doosan's original Puma series

Limitations

No Y-axis or live tooling on the base 2600 — you'll need the 2600Y or 2600SY variant for off-center features and milling
3,500 RPM spindle speed ceiling limits small-diameter aluminum work where 5,000+ RPM would improve finish and cycle time
5,400 kg (11,905 lb) machine weight requires solid floor preparation and makes repositioning difficult
Box ways need periodic scraping and adjustment over high-hour production life, adding maintenance cost versus linear guide machines
Tailstock alignment can drift over time, requiring manual adjustment of grub screws behind access panels

Best For

Production shops turning mid-size steel, stainless, and alloy parts in the 10-inch chuck range Job shops needing a rigid, reliable 2-axis lathe for heavy roughing and tight-tolerance finishing Automotive, hydraulic, and oil & gas manufacturers running shafts, flanges, and cylindrical components Shops standardized on Fanuc controls who want consistent programming across their turning department Second-shift or lights-out production with bar feeder integration for unattended bar work up to 82 mm diameter Replacement for aging manual or early CNC lathes where box-way rigidity and modern controls are needed

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DN Solutions Puma 2600 cost?

New Puma 2600 machines run $90,000-$130,000 depending on options like tailstock, chip conveyor, tool setter, and bar feeder. Used machines from 2015-2022 sell in the $30,000-$65,000 range depending on hours and condition. The SY variants with sub-spindle and Y-axis cost $40-60K more.

02 What's the difference between the Puma 2600 and the Puma DNT 2600?

The Puma DNT 2600 is the latest generation replacing the older Puma GT 2600. It features enhanced rigidity, improved thermal compensation, and the updated Fanuc 0i-Plus control with iHMI touchscreen. Core specs like spindle power and travels are similar, but the DNT series adds refinements to accuracy and usability.

03 How does the Puma 2600 compare to the Haas ST-20Y?

The Puma 2600 has significantly more spindle power (40 hp vs 20 hp) and torque, a larger 10-inch chuck versus the Haas's 8.3-inch, and box-way construction versus the Haas's linear guides. The ST-20Y adds Y-axis and live tooling capability the base Puma 2600 lacks. For pure turning power and rigidity, the Puma wins. For mill-turn flexibility at a lower price, the Haas wins.

04 Is the Puma 2600 reliable for production use?

Forum owners consistently report the Puma 2600 as rigid, quiet, and capable of holding tight tolerances over extended production runs. The box-way design holds up well over years of heavy use. The most common maintenance issue is tailstock alignment drift, which is resolved by adjusting grub screws behind access panels. Doosan/DN Solutions dealer support in North America is generally well-regarded.

05 Can I run bar stock through the Puma 2600?

Yes. The 82 mm (3.2 in) through-bore handles bar stock up to that diameter. Bar feeder integration is a common option. For larger bar capacity, the Puma 3100 series offers a bigger bore. The 2600's bar capacity covers most standard round and hex bar sizes used in mid-volume production.
