Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA GT 2600 XLMB carries both additions DN offers on the long PUMA GT 2600 bed: a 12 in chuck on a 992 N·m (732 ft-lb) spindle, and a 12-station turret with 5,000 rpm live tools. It has the highest listed torque of the four long-bed variants, the greatest weight at 6,100 kg (13,448 lb), and the shortest turning length at 1,525 mm (60 in).

Each addition takes something from the envelope. The larger chuck shortens the turning length: the PUMA GT 2600 XLMA, with a 10 in chuck and the same live-tool speed, reaches 1,555 mm (61 in). The live turret narrows the diameter: the two-axis PUMA GT 2600 XLB turns 460 mm (18 in) in diameter and 1,573 mm (62 in) in length, where this machine turns 410 mm (16 in). Z travel stays at 1,625 mm (64 in) across the group, so the differences lie in what stands inside the work zone, not in the stroke.

Top speed is 2,500 rpm on 26 kW (35 hp). Near the 410 mm (16 in) limit that is more speed than a roughing cut will use, and the torque is what does the work. On a thin shaft the same limit caps surface speed, and the PUMA GT 2600 XLMA with 3,500 rpm and 735 N·m (542 ft-lb) is the closer match.

So the case for this model is a specific part: large in diameter, long, tough to cut, and carrying a few drilled or milled features that would otherwise mean a second machine. If the features are the bulk of the job, note that the table shows X travel of 265 mm (10 in) and Z travel only, with no Y travel and no power figure for the driven tools.

Rapid traverse is 24 m/min (945 ipm) in X and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z. Overall size is 4,960 × 2,198 × 2,030 mm (195 × 87 × 80 in), length by width by height. DN describes the series as built on a box guideway structure.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

992 N·m (732 ft-lb) of spindle torque with a 12 in chuck, plus 5,000 rpm live tools on the same machine
12-station turret shared between turning tools and driven tools
1,625 mm (64 in) of Z travel with a 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) Z rapid
More torque than the PUMA GT 2600 XLMA, which lists 735 N·m (542 ft-lb) with its 10 in chuck
26 kW (35 hp) spindle rating on a 6,100 kg (13,448 lb) machine

Limitations

Shortest turning length of the long-bed group at 1,525 mm (60 in); the PUMA GT 2600 XLB reaches 1,573 mm (62 in)
Turning diameter is 410 mm (16 in), less than the 460 mm (18 in) of the PUMA GT 2600 XLB with the same chuck size
Spindle speed stops at 2,500 rpm, which limits finishing speed on small diameters
The table shows no Y travel and no live-tool power or torque
Longest and heaviest listing of the group: 4,960 mm (195 in) and 6,100 kg (13,448 lb)

Best For

Large-diameter shafts in tough material with a few drilled or slotted features Roughing with 992 N·m (732 ft-lb) followed by cross-drilling in the same clamping Parts up to 410 mm (16 in) in diameter and 1,525 mm (60 in) long Shops that want to drop a second drilling operation on heavy turned parts

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the PUMA GT 2600 XLMB add over the PUMA GT 2600 XLB?

Live tools at 5,000 rpm. Both have a 12 in chuck, 2,500 rpm, 26 kW (35 hp), 12 stations and 1,625 mm (64 in) of Z travel. The PUMA GT 2600 XLB has no live-tool row and turns 460 mm (18 in) by 1,573 mm (62 in) with 990 N·m (730 ft-lb). The PUMA GT 2600 XLMB turns 410 mm (16 in) by 1,525 mm (60 in) with 992 N·m (732 ft-lb).

02 Is 2,500 rpm enough for the work I do?

It depends on diameter. Large parts reach their cutting speed well below 2,500 rpm, and the 992 N·m (732 ft-lb) of torque is what they need. Small-diameter shafts and aluminium want more speed, and for those the PUMA GT 2600 XLMA is listed at 3,500 rpm with the same 5,000 rpm live tools.

03 What is the largest part the PUMA GT 2600 XLMB can turn?

410 mm (16 in) in diameter and 1,525 mm (60 in) in length, in a 12 in chuck. Travels are 265 mm (10 in) in X and 1,625 mm (64 in) in Z. Tailstock and steady rest details are not in the table and should be requested for parts near the length limit.

04 How capable is the milling on the PUMA GT 2600 XLMB?

The table states a live-tool speed of 5,000 rpm and a 12-station turret. It does not list Y travel, live-tool power or live-tool torque. Treat it as a lathe that drills, taps and slots on the centreline until DN confirms the driven-tool ratings for heavier milling.

05 What should I plan for when installing a PUMA GT 2600 XLMB?

A machine weight of 6,100 kg (13,448 lb) and an outline of 4,960 mm (195 in) in length, 2,198 mm (87 in) in width and 2,030 mm (80 in) in height. Electrical supply, air and coolant figures are not in DN's table for this model, so get the installation drawing before preparing the floor.
