Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA TL 2500 L is the long-bed variant of the TL 2500 twin-turret turning center. It takes the same dual-turret architecture with 24 total tool stations and stretches the bed to 1,050 mm (41 in) of Z-axis travel and 1,000 mm (39 in) of max turning length. If you've got shaft work or longer components that need twin-turret productivity, this is the machine that gives you both.

The spindle runs 26 kW (35 hp) at up to 4,000 RPM through a 10-inch (254 mm) chuck with 433 Nm (319 ft-lb) of torque. Max turning diameter is 370 mm (15 in). Both turrets run 12 stations each for a total of 24, giving you the tool capacity to handle complex parts without constant tool changes. The upper and lower turrets work simultaneously — one can rough while the other finishes, cutting cycle times significantly.

This is a turning-only machine — no live tooling on the base L variant. If you need milling capability, look at the TL 2500 LM. But for parts that are pure turning ops with both OD and ID features on longer workpieces, the TL 2500 L delivers the dual-turret cycle time advantage without the added cost and complexity of live tools.

X-axis travel is 250 mm (10 in) with rapids at 20 m/min on X and 24 m/min on Z. At 8,500 kg (18,739 lb), it's a heavy machine — the twin-turret structure and long bed add serious mass. The footprint is 3,900 mm (154 in) long. The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control handles dual-turret synchronization with wait codes and zone management.

The TL 2500 L is aimed at production shops turning longer shafts, sleeves, and cylinders at volume where simultaneous cutting on both turrets can shave 30-50% off cycle times. It's a serious production tool for shops where throughput translates directly to profit.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • Twin turrets with 24 stations enable simultaneous cutting for major cycle time reductions on longer parts
  • 1,050 mm Z-axis travel handles shafts and cylinders up to 1,000 mm turning length
  • 26 kW spindle with 433 Nm torque provides strong turning power at the 10-inch chuck class
  • No live-tooling complexity keeps cost lower and maintenance simpler than the LM variant
  • 8,500 kg mass delivers stability for simultaneous dual-turret cutting forces on longer workpieces
  • FANUC 0i-TF Plus control with mature dual-turret synchronization software

Limitations

  • No live tooling — any milling, cross-drilling, or tapping requires a second machine
  • 8,500 kg weight and 3,900 mm length demand solid floor prep and significant floor space
  • Dual-turret programming is more complex than single-turret lathe work
  • Higher acquisition cost than single-turret long-bed lathes

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What's the difference between the TL 2500 L and TL 2500 LM?

The L is turning-only with no live tooling. The LM adds 5,000 RPM live tools on both turrets for C-axis milling, drilling, and tapping. If your parts need secondary milling features, go with the LM. For pure turning work, the L saves cost and complexity.

02 What does a PUMA TL 2500 L cost?

Expect $160,000-$210,000 new. The long bed and dual turrets add to the base price. Used TL 2500 L machines sell in the $70,000-$130,000 range depending on year and hours.

03 How does the TL 2500 L compare to the standard TL 2500?

Same spindle, same dual turrets, just more bed length. The L has 1,050 mm of Z-axis travel versus 650 mm on the standard. Choose the L for parts longer than about 550 mm.

04 Can both turrets cut at the same time?

Yes. The upper and lower turrets run independent simultaneous toolpaths. The FANUC control manages synchronization through wait codes and interference zone restrictions.
