Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA GT 2600 XLMB is the big-chuck, extra-long-bed variant in the GT 2600 turning center family. Where the XLMA runs a 10-inch chuck for higher spindle speeds, the XLMB steps up to a 12-inch (305 mm) chuck with 992 Nm (732 ft-lb) of torque. If you're chucking larger-diameter workpieces and need that extra clamping force on long parts, this is the machine that combines both.
The spindle runs 26 kW (35 hp) at up to 2,500 RPM — slower than the A variant, but with significantly more torque. That trade-off makes sense for heavier stock removal on larger diameters where torque matters more than surface speed. Max turning diameter is 410 mm (16 in) with a turning length of 1,525 mm (60 in), and the Z-axis travels 1,625 mm (64 in).
The 12-station turret carries live tools at 5,000 RPM for C-axis milling work. Cross-holes, keyways, flats, and tapping can all happen in the turning setup. X-axis travel is 265 mm (10 in) with rapids at 24 m/min on X and 30 m/min on Z — fast enough to keep non-cutting time tight on production runs.
At 6,100 kg (13,448 lb), the XLMB is about 150 kg heavier than the XLMA, mostly from the larger spindle assembly and chuck. The machine stretches 4,960 mm (195 in) in length, so you'll need floor space to match. The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control keeps programming and operation consistent with the rest of your FANUC-equipped shop.
This machine targets shops turning larger-diameter shafts, sleeves, and cylinders that need both the 12-inch chuck capacity and the extended bed length. It's particularly well-suited for oil and gas, hydraulic cylinder, and power generation work where part diameters and lengths regularly push beyond standard-bed capacity.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 12-inch chuck with 992 Nm torque provides excellent clamping force and stock removal on larger-diameter workpieces
- 1,625 mm Z-axis travel handles long shafts and cylinders without stepping up to a much heavier machine class
- Live tooling at 5,000 RPM enables in-setup milling, drilling, and tapping via C-axis
- 6,100 kg mass delivers strong vibration damping on heavy interrupted cuts across the long bed
- FANUC 0i-TF Plus control offers universal familiarity and support
- 410 mm max turning diameter gives more swing than standard 2600-class lathes
Limitations
- 2,500 RPM max spindle speed limits small-diameter and aluminum work where higher speeds improve finish
- Nearly 5-meter machine length demands significant floor space
- No Y-axis — milling is C-axis only, limiting off-center feature capability
- GT series is being replaced by the DNT generation; verify current availability

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The XLMB has a 12-inch chuck at 2,500 RPM with 992 Nm of torque. The XLMA has a 10-inch chuck at 3,500 RPM with 735 Nm. The B variant trades spindle speed for more torque and clamping force on larger parts.
02
New machines run $135,000-$175,000 depending on options. The 12-inch chuck and extra-long bed place it at the top of the GT 2600 price range. Used examples sell in the $60,000-$95,000 range depending on year and hours.
03
The 992 Nm of torque and 6,100 kg machine mass give it the muscle for tough materials. You'll want to run conservative speeds and aggressive feeds to keep the heat in the chip. High-pressure coolant is recommended for these materials.
04
Yes, a programmable tailstock is a standard or optional feature for supporting long workpieces. For very long, slender parts, a steady rest is also available to prevent deflection.
