Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA GT 2600 is the long-bed variant of the PUMA turning center family, built for shops that need to turn long shafts, cylinders, and tubular components that standard-length lathes can't reach. The XLA model swings 460 mm (18 in) in diameter and turns up to 1,603 mm (63 in) in length with a 10-inch chuck — that's serious envelope for shaft work in oil & gas, power generation, and heavy equipment manufacturing.
The spindle runs a 26 kW (35 hp) motor producing 734 Nm (541 ft-lb) of torque at up to 3,500 RPM. That's considerably more torque than the standard PUMA 2600, reflecting the GT series' focus on heavy-duty long-part turning. Axis travels are 265 mm (10 in) on X and a massive 1,625 mm (64 in) on Z. Rapid traverse runs 24 m/min on X and 30 m/min on Z. The 10-station turret handles standard turning tool requirements, and a programmable tailstock is essential for the long shaft work this machine is designed for.
At 5,900 kg (13,007 lb), the PUMA GT 2600 requires solid floor preparation. The Fanuc 0i-Plus control with iHMI touchscreen provides the same interface found across DN Solutions' lineup. This machine fills the niche between standard 10-inch lathes and large-bore oil country lathes, handling work that's too long for a standard PUMA 2600 but doesn't require the massive capacity of a PUMA 5100 or 700 series. It competes with the Mazak Quick Turn 350 and Okuma LB3000 EX II Long Bed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,603 mm (63 in) max turning length handles long shafts, cylinders, and tubular components that standard lathes can't reach
- 734 Nm (541 ft-lb) of spindle torque delivers aggressive roughing power for heavy-duty long-part turning
- 26 kW (35 hp) spindle motor provides ample power for sustained heavy cuts in steel and alloy materials
- Box-way construction provides the rigidity needed for long unsupported turning with programmable tailstock
- Same Fanuc control platform as the rest of the DN Solutions lineup keeps training and programming consistent
Limitations
- 5,900 kg machine weight and extended length require significant floor space and solid foundation preparation
- 10-station turret limits tooling options compared to 12-station machines for complex multi-operation parts
- Long-bed design means the Z-axis travels full length even on short parts, adding unnecessary non-cutting time
- Higher price premium over standard PUMA 2600 is only justified if you regularly turn parts over 800 mm long

Frequently Asked Questions
01
New PUMA GT 2600 machines run $110,000-$160,000 depending on the bed length variant and options. The XLA (long bed) commands a premium over the standard GT 2600. Used machines from 2016-2022 sell in the $45,000-$80,000 range depending on hours and configuration.
02
The GT 2600 is the long-bed variant with significantly more Z-axis travel (1,625 mm vs 830 mm) and more spindle torque (734 Nm vs 327 Nm). The GT is purpose-built for long shaft work that the standard 2600 can't accommodate. If your parts fit within 800 mm, the standard PUMA 2600 is more efficient and costs less.
03
Yes, a programmable tailstock is standard or optional depending on configuration. For the long shaft work the GT 2600 is designed for, tailstock support is essential. The tailstock provides between-centers support for parts with high length-to-diameter ratios.
04
You can, but it's not optimal. The long bed means the Z-axis carriage travels further than necessary for short parts, adding non-cutting time. If most of your work is under 800 mm, the standard PUMA 2600 or DNT 2600 will be more efficient. Reserve the GT for shops that regularly need the extended turning length.
