Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA TL 2500 puts a 10-inch chuck and a 26 kW (35 hp) spindle on the short bed of DN's upper/lower turret lathes. It turns up to 370 mm (15 in) in diameter and 600 mm (24 in) in length, has 650 mm (26 in) of Z travel and a top spindle speed of 4,000 rpm.

The spindle figures deserve a second look, because a bigger chuck does not bring more torque here. DN lists 433 N·m (319 ft-lb) for this model, while the 8-inch PUMA TL 2000 lists 477 N·m (352 ft-lb) and 5,000 rpm from 22 kW (29 hp). What the larger machine gains is power and gripping capacity. That suits how a two-turret lathe is run: when both tools are in the cut together they draw on one motor, and it is power, not peak torque, that runs out first at production cutting speeds.

On parts this short the second turret is mainly a way to remove idle time. A flanged part can have its outside diameter and its bore cut in the same pass, and a short shaft can be roughed from both sides at once. DN describes this as parallel processing and counts the series as 20 stations, 12 + 8. The table for this model gives a 12-station turret.

Nothing in the table mentions driven tools. For milled features there is the PUMA TL 2500 LM, with live tools at 5,000 rpm and a 350 mm (14 in) turning diameter, and for longer turning-only parts the PUMA TL 2500 L takes turning length to 1,000 mm (39 in). X travel is 250 mm (10 in), with rapids of 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z.

Moving up a chuck size adds little mass. This model weighs 7,300 kg (16,094 lb), against 7,200 kg (15,873 lb) for the PUMA TL 2000. Its plan is 3,250 × 2,118 mm (128 × 83 in) and it is 1,930 mm (76 in) tall.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

26 kW (35 hp) spindle, the higher power rating of the two PUMA TL spindle sizes, behind a 10-inch chuck
370 mm (15 in) turning diameter given as a single figure, with 250 mm (10 in) of X travel
Upper and lower turrets overlap operations on one part; DN counts 20 stations as 12 + 8 for the series
7,300 kg (16,094 lb), only slightly above the 7,200 kg (15,873 lb) of the 8-inch PUMA TL 2000
DN lists unmanned operation through automation among the aims of the series

Limitations

433 N·m (319 ft-lb) of torque, less than the 477 N·m (352 ft-lb) the PUMA TL 2000 lists
Spindle speed tops out at 4,000 rpm, which holds back surface speed on small diameters
No driven tools are listed; the PUMA TL 2500 LM is the model with 5,000 rpm live tools
600 mm (24 in) of turning length; longer shafts need the PUMA TL 2500 L at 1,000 mm (39 in)

Best For

Flanged and disc-type chuck parts cut on the outside and the bore together Short shafts up to 600 mm (24 in) roughed with two tools at once Production turning up to 370 mm (15 in) in diameter with no milling Simultaneous cuts that draw on the full 26 kW (35 hp)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why would I choose the PUMA TL 2500 instead of the PUMA TL 2000?

For the 10-inch chuck and the 26 kW (35 hp) rating. The PUMA TL 2000 has an 8-inch chuck, 22 kW (29 hp), 477 N·m (352 ft-lb) and 5,000 rpm. The PUMA TL 2500 lists 433 N·m (319 ft-lb) and 4,000 rpm. Travel is identical: 250 mm (10 in) in X and 650 mm (26 in) in Z on both, with a 600 mm (24 in) turning length.

02 What size of part fits the PUMA TL 2500?

Up to 370 mm (15 in) in diameter and 600 mm (24 in) long, held in a 10-inch chuck. X travel is 250 mm (10 in) and Z travel is 650 mm (26 in). The diameter is a table maximum, so check that both turrets can reach the features you want to cut together at that size.

03 Does the PUMA TL 2500 have live tooling?

The table for this model has no live-tool row. In the same chuck size the PUMA TL 2500 LM lists live tools at 5,000 rpm; it also has a longer bed, with 1,050 mm (41 in) of Z travel, a turning diameter of 350 mm (14 in) and a weight of 8,500 kg (18,739 lb).

04 How do the two turrets shorten cycle time?

DN describes the PUMA TL as allowing parallel processing of components, which reduces cycle times. In practice two tools cut at once: outside and inside, roughing and finishing, or both sides of a shaft. The series is counted as 20 stations, 12 + 8, and the table lists a 12-station turret for this model.

05 What are the installation figures for the PUMA TL 2500?

Length, width and height are 3,250 × 2,118 × 1,930 mm (128 × 83 × 76 in) and the machine weighs 7,300 kg (16,094 lb). Rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z. Power supply and air figures are not part of the table and should come from the quotation.
