Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA TL 2000 LM is an 8-inch lathe with upper and lower turrets, a long bed and driven tools. It offers 1,050 mm (41 in) of Z travel, a maximum turning length of 1,000 mm (39 in) and live tools that run to 5,000 rpm.

Those two additions define it. The short PUMA TL 2000 has the same chuck size and the same spindle, but its Z travel is 650 mm (26 in), its turning length is 600 mm (24 in) and it has no live-tool row at all. Buyers choosing between them are really deciding whether their shafts are long and whether they carry keyways, cross holes or flats. If both answers are yes, this is the 8-inch machine that finishes them without a second operation on a mill.

The main spindle is the higher-revving of the two fitted in the long-bed driven-tool models. It reaches 5,000 rpm with 22 kW (29 hp) and 477 N·m (352 ft-lb). The PUMA TL 2500 LM shares the 350 mm (14 in) turning diameter and the 1,000 mm (39 in) length but carries a 10-inch chuck and a 4,000 rpm spindle rated 26 kW (35 hp) and 433 N·m (319 ft-lb). Slender shafts and smaller diameters favour the 8-inch model.

Live-tool speed is the only driven-tool figure in the table. No driven-tool power, torque or Y travel is given, so plan for drilling, tapping and milling on the centreline and ask DN for the motor data if the work includes large taps. X travel is 250 mm (10 in). Rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z.

The long bed shows up in mass and floor space: 8,400 kg (18,519 lb), on a plan of 3,900 × 2,144 mm (154 × 84 in) and 1,930 mm (76 in) high. For parts near the full turning length, DN describes a programmable tailstock for the series.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,000 mm (39 in) turning length with 1,050 mm (41 in) of Z travel, against 600 mm (24 in) and 650 mm (26 in) on the PUMA TL 2000
Live tools at 5,000 rpm, so keyways and cross holes are finished in the turning setup
5,000 rpm spindle with 477 N·m (352 ft-lb), a higher speed and torque than the PUMA TL 2500 LM lists
Two turrets can cut a long shaft from opposite sides, which DN describes as simultaneous turning for shaft work
Programmable tailstock described for the series, for longer components

Limitations

Turning diameter is 350 mm (14 in); the table gives no larger figure for this model
No power or torque is stated for the driven tools, only the 5,000 rpm speed
No Y travel is listed, so milling stays on the spindle centreline
Heavy for an 8-inch lathe: 8,400 kg (18,519 lb), against 7,200 kg (15,873 lb) for the PUMA TL 2000, and 3,900 mm (154 in) long

Best For

Shafts up to 1,000 mm (39 in) long with keyways, flats or cross holes Slender shaft work that benefits from two turrets cutting opposite sides Long 8-inch chuck parts completed in a single setup Smaller-diameter turning that needs spindle speeds up to 5,000 rpm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the PUMA TL 2000 LM add to the PUMA TL 2000?

Bed length and driven tools. Z travel goes from 650 mm (26 in) on the PUMA TL 2000 to 1,050 mm (41 in), and turning length from 600 mm (24 in) to 1,000 mm (39 in). The LM also lists live tools at 5,000 rpm, which the PUMA TL 2000 does not have. Weight rises from 7,200 kg (15,873 lb) on the PUMA TL 2000 to 8,400 kg (18,519 lb).

02 How long a shaft can the PUMA TL 2000 LM turn?

The maximum turning length is 1,000 mm (39 in), within 1,050 mm (41 in) of Z travel. Maximum turning diameter is 350 mm (14 in). A shaft near full length needs support at the free end, and DN describes a programmable tailstock for the PUMA TL series for stable machining of longer components.

03 What are the live tools on the PUMA TL 2000 LM capable of?

The table lists a live-tool speed of 5,000 rpm and nothing else about them. It does not state driven-tool power or torque, and it lists no Y travel. That supports drilling, tapping and milling through the centreline of the part. For heavy milling or large taps, get the driven-tool motor rating from DN Solutions before committing the job.

04 Should I pick the PUMA TL 2000 LM or the PUMA TL 2500 LM?

The envelope is the same: 350 mm (14 in) in diameter and 1,000 mm (39 in) in length, with live tools at 5,000 rpm on both. The PUMA TL 2000 LM has an 8-inch chuck and a 5,000 rpm spindle with 22 kW (29 hp) and 477 N·m (352 ft-lb). The PUMA TL 2500 LM has a 10-inch chuck and a 4,000 rpm spindle with 26 kW (35 hp) and 433 N·m (319 ft-lb). Choose by chuck size and by how much spindle speed the parts need.

05 How much floor space does the PUMA TL 2000 LM need?

The machine is 3,900 mm long, 2,144 mm wide and 1,930 mm high (154 × 84 × 76 in) and weighs 8,400 kg (18,519 lb). Those are the machine's own dimensions. Add space for the chip conveyor discharge, for door and service access, and for any loading equipment at the spindle end.
