Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA GT 2600 XLMA is the extra-long-bed variant in the GT 2600 turning center family, purpose-built for shops that need to turn longer shafts and components without jumping to a much bigger machine. With 1,625 mm (64 in) of Z-axis travel and a max turning length of 1,555 mm (61 in), this machine fills the gap between standard-bed lathes and full-size heavy-duty turning centers.
The A suffix means you're getting the 10-inch (254 mm) chuck option, which tops out at 3,500 RPM. The spindle pushes 26 kW (35 hp) with 735 Nm (542 ft-lb) of torque — enough to hog material in 4140, stainless, and Inconel at production feeds without babying the machine. Max turning diameter is 410 mm (16 in), so you've got room for larger OD work than the standard 2600 platform.
The 12-station turret runs live tools at 5,000 RPM for C-axis milling, drilling, and tapping. That lets you handle cross-holes, keyways, and flats in the same setup instead of walking parts over to a VMC. X-axis travel is 265 mm (10 in) with rapids at 24 m/min on X and 30 m/min on Z.
At 5,950 kg (13,118 lb), the GT 2600 XLMA has the mass to stay stable on heavy cuts across that long bed. The extended Z-travel does mean a bigger footprint at 4,855 mm (191 in) long, so plan your floor space accordingly. The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control keeps things simple and familiar.
This machine is aimed squarely at shops turning drive shafts, pump shafts, long spindles, and any component that needs both length and milling capability. It's overkill for short parts, but if you're running anything over 800 mm regularly, the extra bed length pays for itself by eliminating refixturing and secondary ops.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,625 mm Z-axis travel handles shafts and long components that won't fit on standard-bed lathes
- 26 kW spindle with 735 Nm torque tackles heavy roughing in steel and stainless without stalling
- Live tooling at 5,000 RPM enables cross-drilling, tapping, and flat milling in the turning setup
- 410 mm max turning diameter gives more swing than the standard 2600 platform
- 5,950 kg mass provides excellent vibration damping on long, slender workpieces
- FANUC 0i-TF Plus control is universally familiar and well-supported
Limitations
- 4,855 mm machine length requires significant floor space — not suited for tight shop layouts
- No Y-axis limits milling to C-axis interpolation only
- 3,500 RPM spindle speed is inadequate for high-speed aluminum finishing
- GT series is being superseded by the DNT generation — check availability with your dealer

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The A has a 10-inch chuck spinning at 3,500 RPM with 735 Nm of torque. The B has a 12-inch chuck at 2,500 RPM with 992 Nm. Choose the A for higher speeds on smaller work, or the B for more clamping force and torque on larger diameters.
02
Both are long-bed 2600-class lathes with live tooling. The XLMA has even more Z-travel (1,625 mm vs 1,100 mm) and a larger swing (410 mm vs 380 mm). The DNT 2600 LM is the newer generation with improved thermal compensation. Check with your dealer on current availability of each.
03
Expect $130,000-$170,000 new depending on options. The extra-long bed and live tooling push the price above standard-bed models. Used GT 2600 XL machines from 2018-2023 sell in the $55,000-$90,000 range.
04
Yes, steady rests are a common option for long-bed machines to support slender workpieces and reduce deflection. Your DN Solutions distributor can configure the machine with programmable or manual steady rests.
