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