Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 800 XL II is a heavy-duty 2-axis horizontal lathe built for turning large, long workpieces that smaller machines can't touch. With a 32-inch chuck and over 5 meters of turning length, this machine sits at the top of DN Solutions' horizontal turning lineup, handling parts that typically require dedicated engine lathes or boring mills.

The main spindle delivers 55 kW (74 hp) with a staggering 8,076 Nm (5,957 ft-lbs) of torque at a max speed of 750 RPM. That's not a typo — 750 RPM is plenty when you're swinging parts up to 900 mm (35.4 in) in diameter. At those diameters, 750 RPM translates to over 2,100 m/min surface speed, which is more than enough for steel and stainless. The torque figure is what matters here, and 8,076 Nm means you won't be babying this machine through rough cuts.

Axis travels span 470 mm on X and a massive 5,100 mm on Z, with a 12-station turret for tooling. Rapid traverse runs 12 m/min on X and 10 m/min on Z — deliberately moderate to prioritize positioning accuracy over speed on heavy, long parts. The machine stretches 9,904 mm long, stands 2,855 mm tall, and weighs 26,000 kg (57,320 lb).

Max turning length of 5,050 mm (198.8 in) makes this a go-to for long shafts, rolls, cylinders, and drill pipe. The PUMA 800 XL II replaces what used to require manual engine lathes or older NC machines with modern CNC capability, including canned cycles, automatic tool changes, and program storage. For shops still running 30-year-old engine lathes on large shaft work, this is the upgrade path. Specs sourced from DN Solutions published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

32-inch chuck with 8,076 Nm of torque handles the largest and heaviest turning work in DN Solutions' horizontal lathe lineup
5,050 mm turning length accommodates long shafts, rolls, pipe, and cylinders that smaller lathes can't reach
55 kW spindle motor provides serious roughing power on large-diameter steel, stainless, and cast iron parts
26,000 kg machine mass delivers the rigidity needed for stable, chatter-free cuts on heavy workpieces
12-station turret with automatic tool changing brings modern CNC capability to work traditionally done on manual engine lathes
900 mm max turning diameter covers most heavy turning applications without stepping up to a vertical boring mill

Limitations

750 RPM max spindle speed limits small-diameter operations — this machine is purpose-built for large work only
No live tooling or C-axis means all milling, drilling, and cross-work must be done on a separate machine
9.9m machine length and 26,000 kg weight demand significant floor space and foundation requirements
10 m/min Z-axis rapid traverse makes positioning slow over the 5-meter bed, adding cycle time on long parts
Two-axis turning only — shops needing Y-axis or B-axis capability must look at the SMX 5100 series instead

Best For

Steel mill and roll manufacturers turning large-diameter, long rolls, mandrels, and backup rolls Oil and gas shops producing long drill pipe, casing, and downhole tool components up to 5 meters in length Power generation facilities turning turbine shafts, generator rotors, and large pump shafts Mining and heavy equipment manufacturers producing large hydraulic cylinders, pins, and structural shafts Shops replacing aging manual or NC engine lathes with modern CNC capability on large-part turning work

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DN Solutions PUMA 800 XL II cost?

New PUMA 800 XL II machines typically price between $400,000 and $600,000 depending on configuration. Options like steady rests, tailstock upgrades, chip conveyor systems, and high-pressure coolant affect final pricing. Used examples from the Doosan era (PUMA 800XL) are occasionally available in the $200K-$350K range.

02 Can the PUMA 800 XL II do any milling?

No. The PUMA 800 XL II is a 2-axis turning center without live tooling, C-axis, or milling capability. Parts requiring milling, cross-drilling, or off-center features need secondary operations on a machining center or mill. For integrated turning and milling on large parts, look at the SMX 5100 series.

03 What steady rest options are available?

DN Solutions offers hydraulic steady rests for supporting long, slender workpieces during turning. These are critical for shaft work at the longer turning lengths, where deflection under cutting forces would otherwise cause taper, chatter, or poor surface finish. Most shops ordering the XL bed length spec at least one steady rest.

04 How does the PUMA 800 XL II compare to a vertical boring mill for large-diameter work?

The PUMA 800 XL II handles parts up to 900 mm diameter horizontally, which works well for shaft-type and cylindrical parts. For disc-shaped parts wider than 900 mm — like large flanges, rings, and brake drums — a VBM is the better choice. The horizontal orientation of the 800 XL II also makes it better for long parts where gravity assists workholding.
