Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA GT 2600 XLA is a two-axis lathe built around length: 1,603 mm (63 in) of maximum turning length on 1,625 mm (64 in) of Z travel, with a 10 in chuck and a 3,500 rpm spindle. Maximum turning diameter is 460 mm (18 in), the turret has 10 stations, and the table shows no live tooling.
DN builds the same bed with two spindle setups. This one keeps the 10 in chuck and 3,500 rpm, with 26 kW (35 hp) and 734 N·m (541 ft-lb). The PUMA GT 2600 XLB swaps in a 12 in chuck, drops to 2,500 rpm and raises torque to 990 N·m (730 ft-lb) on the same 26 kW (35 hp). The PUMA GT 2600 XLB also gives up a little turning length, at 1,573 mm (62 in), and has 12 turret stations where this model has 10.
Speed is the reason to stay with the smaller chuck. Long parts are often not large in diameter: pump shafts, spindles, rods and tubes. On those, 3,500 rpm keeps surface speed up where the PUMA GT 2600 XLB, limited to 2,500 rpm, would be cutting slowly. A part 1,603 mm (63 in) long is also limited more by deflection and support than by spindle power, and the table says nothing about the tailstock or a steady rest. Ask for quill thrust, centre type and the steady rest range along with the quotation.
X travel is 265 mm (10 in). Rapids are 24 m/min (945 ipm) on X and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on Z, and on a bed this long the Z rapid is what shortens the return stroke between passes.
The machine is 4,855 mm (191 in) long, 2,198 mm (87 in) wide and 2,030 mm (80 in) high and weighs 5,900 kg (13,007 lb). DN describes the series as having a box guideway structure.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,603 mm (63 in) of maximum turning length, the longest of the four PUMA GT 2600 long-bed models
- 3,500 rpm spindle with 26 kW (35 hp) and 734 N·m (541 ft-lb)
- 460 mm (18 in) maximum turning diameter, against 410 mm (16 in) on the live-tool PUMA GT 2600 XLMA
- Z rapid of 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) over 1,625 mm (64 in) of travel
- Lightest of the group at 5,900 kg (13,007 lb)
Limitations
- 10-station turret, where the PUMA GT 2600 XLB has 12 stations
- No live-tool speed in the table; the PUMA GT 2600 XLMA is the 10 in version with 5,000 rpm live tools
- Torque is 734 N·m (541 ft-lb), against 990 N·m (730 ft-lb) on the PUMA GT 2600 XLB
- The table lists no tailstock, steady rest or bar capacity figures for a machine meant for long parts
- Needs a floor length of 4,855 mm (191 in) before loading clearance

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Chuck, speed, torque and turret. The PUMA GT 2600 XLA has a 10 in chuck, 3,500 rpm, 734 N·m (541 ft-lb) and 10 stations. The PUMA GT 2600 XLB has a 12 in chuck, 2,500 rpm, 990 N·m (730 ft-lb) and 12 stations. Both list 26 kW (35 hp), 1,625 mm (64 in) of Z travel and a 460 mm (18 in) turning diameter. Turning length is 1,603 mm (63 in) on the PUMA GT 2600 XLA and 1,573 mm (62 in) on the PUMA GT 2600 XLB.
02
Maximum turning length is 1,603 mm (63 in), on 1,625 mm (64 in) of Z travel, and maximum turning diameter is 460 mm (18 in). How a part that long is supported is not covered by the table: it has no tailstock or steady rest figures, so get those from DN before committing slender work.
03
Its table has no live-tool row. It is an X and Z machine with a 10-station turret. The PUMA GT 2600 XLMA is the matching 10 in model with 5,000 rpm live tools and 12 stations; it turns 410 mm (16 in) in diameter and 1,555 mm (61 in) in length.
04
DN lists 26 kW (35 hp), 734 N·m (541 ft-lb) and a maximum of 3,500 rpm, with a 10 in chuck. The table does not give the spindle bore, bar capacity or the speed at which the torque is available, so request the power and torque diagram for work that depends on low-speed torque.
05
Length, width and height are 4,855 × 2,198 × 2,030 mm (191 × 87 × 80 in) and machine weight is 5,900 kg (13,007 lb). Long stock also needs room to be slung in from the front or the end, which is extra to the listed length.
