Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 700 L II is a heavy-duty horizontal turning center that steps into territory where most production lathes can't follow. With a 24-inch chuck, 900 mm (35 in) max turning diameter, 3,200 mm (126 in) turning length, and a 55 kW (74 hp) spindle delivering 8,076 Nm (5,957 ft-lb) of torque, this machine is built for the biggest, heaviest work in the shop.

The spindle runs through a 24-inch chuck at up to 1,500 RPM. That's a deliberate balance — enough speed for reasonable surface speed on large diameters, and enough torque to take monster cuts in carbon steel, alloy steel, and cast iron without flinching. 8,076 Nm is the kind of torque that lets you take the roughing pass you actually want to take, not the one a lighter machine forces you into.

X-axis travel is 470 mm, Z extends to 3,235 mm, and rapids hit 12 m/min on X and 10 m/min on Z. The 12-station turret gives you more tool capacity than the smaller PUMA models, which matters on complex parts that need multiple OD, ID, grooving, and threading operations. Box-way construction on all axes is essential at this scale — the mass and rigidity keep the tool stable through the heaviest cuts.

At 22,000 kg (48,502 lb), you need engineered foundations and serious rigging to install this machine. But that's par for the course at this level. The PUMA 700 L II serves shops in oil and gas, power generation, marine, mining, and heavy industrial manufacturing where the work simply won't fit in a smaller lathe. It's the long-bed variant paired with the PUMA 700 XL II for even longer work. Specs sourced from DN Solutions published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

8,076 Nm (5,957 ft-lb) of torque handles the most aggressive roughing cuts in tough materials
900 mm max turning diameter and 3,200 mm length cover heavy, long parts that smaller lathes can't touch
55 kW (74 hp) spindle with 24-inch chuck provides massive cutting and clamping power
12-station turret offers more tool capacity than most heavy-duty lathes
Box-way construction and 22,000 kg mass deliver exceptional stability and vibration damping
1,500 RPM spindle speed provides reasonable surface speed range on large diameters
FANUC control with proven reliability at this scale

Limitations

22,000 kg weight and 7.4 meter length require engineered foundations and professional rigging
12 m/min X rapids and 10 m/min Z rapids are slow compared to lighter machines — non-cutting time adds up
Price point in the $300K-$420K range puts it beyond many shops' budgets
No live tooling or Y-axis on this variant — milling operations need a separate machine
Limited resale market due to specialized nature and installation requirements

Best For

Oil and gas manufacturers producing heavy drill collars, casing joints, and long tubular components Marine and shipbuilding shops turning large propeller shafts and drive shafts Power generation manufacturers machining turbine rotors and generator shafts Mining equipment shops producing large rollers, shafts, and heavy cylindrical components Heavy industrial manufacturers needing 35-inch swing and over 3 meters of turning length

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What's the difference between the PUMA 700 L II and the PUMA 700 XL II?

Both use the same 24-inch chuck and 55 kW spindle with 8,076 Nm torque. The XL II extends turning length to 5,050 mm (199 in) versus the L II's 3,200 mm (126 in). The XL II is nearly 10 meters long and weighs 26,000 kg. Choose the XL II only when your work exceeds 3 meters in length.

02 What does a PUMA 700 L II cost?

New PUMA 700 L II machines typically run $300,000-$420,000 depending on options. These are high-value capital investments typically purchased by large manufacturers. Used machines are relatively rare but sell in the $130,000-$250,000 range.

03 What foundation do I need for the PUMA 700 L II?

At 22,000 kg, you need an engineered concrete foundation designed for the specific machine loads. Consult with DN Solutions and your facility engineer for foundation depth, reinforcement, and isolation requirements. Floor loading capacity is critical.

04 How does this compare to the PUMA 5100 XLB?

The 700 L II is a significant step up: 900 mm swing vs 650 mm, 55 kW vs 45 kW, 8,076 Nm vs 4,038 Nm torque, and 24-inch chuck vs 21-inch. It also weighs nearly 9,000 kg more. The 700 series is for work that exceeds the 5100's capacity in both diameter and power.
