Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA 700 XLM II is the extra-long bed configuration of the 700 series, stretching Z-axis travel to a staggering 5,100 mm (201 in) — that's over 16 feet of travel for turning parts up to 5,050 mm (199 in) in length. Combined with the 24-inch chuck, 900 mm (35 in) swing, and Y-axis capability, this is one of the most capable horizontal turning centers in DN Solutions' catalog.
The spindle specs match the rest of the 700 series: 55 kW (74 hp) with 8,076 Nm (5,957 ft-lb) of torque, 1,500 RPM max speed, and a 375 mm (14.8 in) through-bore. The Y-axis provides 200 mm (8 in) of off-center travel for milling operations on parts too long and heavy to move to a secondary machine.
At 9,904 mm (390 in) — nearly 33 feet — the machine itself is enormous. It weighs 26,000 kg (57,320 lb). This isn't a machine you tuck into a corner of your shop; it needs a dedicated bay with overhead crane access and a seriously reinforced floor. But for the industries that need this capability — power generation, marine, oil and gas, steel production — there's no substitute for a machine that can turn 5-meter parts at 35-inch swing with mill-turn capability.
Rapids on the XLM II run 12 m/min on X and 10 m/min on Z. Traversing 5 meters at 10 m/min takes 30 seconds, so cycle time optimization focuses on minimizing full-length traverses through smart toolpath programming. The 12-station turret with 3,000 RPM live tooling handles secondary operations.
Box-way construction across the entire 5+ meter bed length is critical for maintaining accuracy at these extreme dimensions. Thermal compensation and geometric accuracy verification become especially important on machines this long. The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control manages everything.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 5,050 mm (199 in) max turning length is extraordinary — handles parts nearly 17 feet long
- Same 55 kW spindle and 8,076 Nm torque as the M II and LM II variants
- Y-axis with 200 mm travel provides mill-turn capability on the longest parts
- 375 mm spindle bore accommodates large-diameter through-bore work
- 26,000 kg machine mass ensures stability and vibration damping across the entire ultra-long bed
- 24-inch chuck and 35-inch swing cover the largest workpiece diameters in the PUMA 700 class
Limitations
- 9.9 meter machine length requires a dedicated bay in most shops — check your ceiling and door clearances
- 26,000 kg weight demands the most robust foundation preparation of any PUMA lathe
- 10 m/min Z-axis rapids mean 30+ seconds to traverse the full bed length
- Extremely high capital cost limits this to shops with consistent ultra-long-part production
- Geometric alignment verification across 5+ meters requires specialized metrology equipment

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The XLM II has nearly 60% more Z-axis travel: 5,100 mm vs 3,235 mm. Max turning length is 5,050 mm vs 3,200 mm. The XLM II is also 4,000 kg heavier and roughly 2.5 meters longer. Choose the XLM II only if your parts actually exceed 3.2 meters in length.
02
DN Solutions offers multiple steady rest positions along the 5+ meter bed. For very long, slender shafts, two or more steady rests may be needed to prevent deflection. The exact number depends on part geometry, material, and required tolerances. Your applications engineer will recommend the right configuration.
03
A machine this size is typically shipped on a flatbed trailer and may require partial disassembly for transport depending on route clearances. Installation requires a high-capacity overhead crane or heavy rigging equipment. Plan for 3-4 weeks from delivery to production, including foundation prep, leveling, alignment, and test cutting.
04
While the base machine doesn't include thread whirling as standard, the live tooling turret and C-axis support single-point threading and multi-start threading cycles. For specialized thread whirling operations, consult with DN Solutions about available attachments and turret configurations.
