Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA DNT 2600 L is the long-bed variant of the DNT 2600, stretching the Z-axis travel to 1,100 mm and the max turning length to 1,078 mm. It shares the same 26 kW spindle and 10-inch chuck as the standard DNT 2600 but adds the reach needed for longer shaft work, extended fittings, and multi-diameter parts that won't fit on the shorter bed.

The spindle delivers 26 kW (35 hp) at 3,500 RPM with 735 Nm (542 ft-lbs) of torque — the same robust power unit as the standard 2600. Max turning diameter holds at 460 mm (18.1 in). The longer bed adds 420 mm of Z-axis travel (1,100 mm vs 680 mm), which is the whole reason you'd choose this over the standard model. The 10-station turret provides adequate tool positions for most production parts.

Rapid traverse rates match the standard model at 24 m/min on X and 30 m/min on Z. At 4,900 kg (10,803 lb) and 3,800 mm long, the L variant adds 600 kg and about 445 mm in length over the standard 2600. Width grows from 1,729 mm to 1,839 mm. These are modest increases for a significant gain in work envelope.

The DNT 2600 L hits the sweet spot for shops that need more turning length than the standard bed provides but don't need the premium features and higher price of the GT series. It's particularly well-suited to shaft work, long fittings, threaded rod production, and any medium-diameter part that runs 650-1,070 mm in length. Specs sourced from DN Solutions published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,078 mm max turning length handles shaft work and long parts that exceed the standard DNT 2600's 658 mm reach
Same 26 kW / 735 Nm spindle as the standard 2600 — no power trade-off for the longer bed
Modest footprint increase (445 mm longer, 600 kg heavier) for a significant 420 mm gain in Z-axis travel
Competitive $95K-$145K pricing delivers long-bed turning capability at a mid-range price point
10-inch chuck with 3,500 RPM balances gripping capacity and surface speed for general-purpose turning

Limitations

10-station turret limits tool positions compared to 12-station options on competing machines
Two-axis only with no live tooling or C-axis — milling and cross-work require a secondary operation
Longer bed adds cycle time on parts that don't need the extra Z-travel due to longer positioning moves
DNT series construction is lighter than the GT series, which can affect rigidity under heavy interrupted cuts on long parts

Best For

Shops turning medium-diameter shafts, pins, and rods in the 650-1,070 mm length range that exceed standard bed capacity Oil and gas component manufacturers producing fittings, couplings, and connectors with extended lengths Hydraulic cylinder and rod manufacturers turning and threading long components in production quantities Job shops that need one lathe capable of handling both short chuck work and occasional long shaft work Thread cutting operations on long threaded rod and fastener production

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the DNT 2600 L worth the extra cost over the standard DNT 2600?

If your parts regularly exceed 650 mm in turning length, the L variant is well worth the roughly $10K-$15K premium. If most of your work fits within 650 mm and only occasional parts are longer, the standard bed saves money and cycle time on shorter parts. Evaluate your part mix before deciding.

02 How much does a DN Solutions PUMA DNT 2600 L cost?

New DNT 2600 L machines typically price between $95,000 and $145,000. The long-bed configuration adds a modest premium over the standard DNT 2600. Tailstock configurations, chip conveyors, and bar feeder interfaces are the most common options that affect final pricing.

03 Does the DNT 2600 L support steady rests for long parts?

Yes. For parts approaching the full 1,078 mm turning length, especially slender shafts, a steady rest is recommended to prevent deflection and chatter. DN Solutions offers hydraulic steady rests as an option that's commonly spec'd with the long-bed variant.

04 Can I use a bar feeder with the DNT 2600 L?

Yes. The DNT 2600 L is bar-feeder compatible and commonly paired with magazine bar feeders for unattended production. Bar capacity through the 10-inch chuck spindle accommodates standard bar stock sizes. The longer bed also works well for producing long parts from bar with automatic cutoff.
