Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA DNT 2600 is a two-axis box-guideway lathe for 10 in chuck work: 460 mm (18.1 in) of maximum turning diameter, 658 mm (25.9 in) of turning length, and a spindle listed at 26 kW and 735 N·m with a 3,500 rpm ceiling. Its column of DN's table has no driven-tool row and no Y travel. It turns, bores, grooves and threads, and that is all.
Leaving the rotary tools out returns space to the work. The PUMA DNT 2600M, the live-tool version on the same bed, is held to 380 mm (15 in) in diameter and 610 mm (24 in) in length. The plain PUMA DNT 2600 gets 460 mm (18.1 in) and 658 mm (25.9 in) out of the same 260 mm (10.2 in) of X travel and 680 mm (26.8 in) of Z travel. For flanges, rings and discs that need no cross-holes, that extra diameter is the reason to choose it.
Torque is the other argument. The two-axis Puma 2600 lists 327 N·m (241 ft-lb) from 30 kW (40 hp) at the same 3,500 rpm, while the PUMA DNT 2600 lists 735 N·m, more than twice as much, from 26 kW. More torque from less power implies it is delivered low in the speed range, which is where large-diameter roughing happens. DN also lists a high-torque spindle option for the series and the table does not say which spindle the 735 N·m belongs to, so ask for the torque curve with the quotation.
The turret comes with 10 stations, with 12 as an option, and the chuck can be ordered at 12 in. Ten positions suit part families with a short tool list. A job that wants roughing, finishing, grooving, threading and several boring bars set up at once will fill them.
The machine is 3,355 mm (132.1 in) long, 1,729 mm (68.1 in) wide and 1,780 mm (70.1 in) high, and weighs 4,300 kg (9,480 lb). Rapids are 24 m/min (944.9 ipm) in X and 30 m/min (1,181.1 ipm) in Z.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 735 N·m of spindle torque from 26 kW, more than twice the 327 N·m (241 ft-lb) of the two-axis Puma 2600
- 460 mm (18.1 in) turning diameter, against 380 mm (15 in) on the live-tool PUMA DNT 2600M
- Box guideway structure, as DN describes the PUMA DNT series
- 3,355 mm (132.1 in) long and 4,300 kg (9,480 lb), where the Puma 2600 weighs 5,400 kg (11,905 lb)
- Inverter-type chip conveyor, and a work area DN describes as free of chip accumulation
Limitations
- No driven tools and no Y travel in the table; milled features need the PUMA DNT 2600M, which lists 6,000 rpm live tools
- The listed turret has 10 stations; 12 stations is an option
- Turning length is 658 mm (25.9 in); the PUMA DNT 2600 L lists 1,078 mm (42.4 in)
- A 3,500 rpm top speed limits surface speed on small diameters and non-ferrous bar
- 26 kW and 735 N·m are given without a rating period, and spindle bore and bar capacity are not listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. The table for the PUMA DNT 2600 lists X travel of 260 mm (10.2 in) and Z travel of 680 mm (26.8 in), with no driven-tool speed and no Y travel. The PUMA DNT 2600M is the version with live tools, at 6,000 rpm on a 12-station turret, and its turning diameter is 380 mm (15 in) against 460 mm (18.1 in) here.
02
The Puma 2600 is the larger machine: 481 mm (19 in) of turning diameter, 790 mm (31 in) of turning length and 5,400 kg (11,905 lb), with 30 kW (40 hp) and 327 N·m (241 ft-lb). The PUMA DNT 2600 turns 460 mm (18.1 in) by 658 mm (25.9 in), weighs 4,300 kg (9,480 lb) and lists 26 kW and 735 N·m. Both top out at 3,500 rpm.
03
The table gives 10 stations, with 12 stations as an option. DN's series description mentions a variety of turret options, so the turret is something to settle at order time. If the part family needs more than ten tools set up together, specify the larger turret before the machine is built.
04
A 10 in chuck is listed, with 12 in as an option. Maximum turning diameter is 460 mm (18.1 in) and maximum turning length is 658 mm (25.9 in) in the table, and DN does not give separate envelope figures for the optional chuck. A larger chuck body normally takes some turning length, so confirm the figure for the 12 in version.
05
It is 3,355 mm (132.1 in) long, 1,729 mm (68.1 in) wide and 1,780 mm (70.1 in) high, and weighs 4,300 kg (9,480 lb). The long-bed PUMA DNT 2600 L is 3,800 mm (149.6 in) long and weighs 4,900 kg (10,803 lb), so the short machine is the one to pick when no part exceeds 658 mm (25.9 in).
