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 LM combines a 10-inch chuck, a 1,000 mm (39 in) turning length and live tools at 5,000 rpm in a lathe with upper and lower turrets. The main spindle is rated 26 kW (35 hp) and 433 N·m (319 ft-lb) and stops at 4,000 rpm, so on this machine the driven tools spin faster than the chuck.
DN's case for the series rests on single setups, which it says bring accuracy and time savings. The argument is strongest on exactly the parts this model takes. A long shaft that leaves the lathe for a keyway or a cross hole has to be lifted, re-clamped and clocked again on a mill, and every transfer risks the relationship between the milled feature and the turned diameters. With driven tools in the turret the part is finished where it was turned.
The live-tool row comes with a smaller diameter. Maximum turning diameter is 350 mm (14 in). The PUMA TL 2500 L, the turning-only machine on the same 1,050 mm (41 in) Z travel, is listed at 370 mm (15 in). Weight is the same for both at 8,500 kg (18,739 lb). The table states no driven-tool power or torque and no Y travel, so expect centreline drilling, tapping and slotting, and ask DN for the motor rating if the milling is heavy.
There is an 8-inch alternative with the same envelope and the same live-tool speed. The PUMA TL 2000 LM turns 350 mm (14 in) by 1,000 mm (39 in) with a 5,000 rpm spindle rated 22 kW (29 hp) and 477 N·m (352 ft-lb), and weighs 8,400 kg (18,519 lb). The 10-inch model is the one for workpieces that need the larger chuck and for cuts that need the extra power.
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 machine measures 3,900 × 2,144 mm (154 × 84 in) on the floor and 1,930 mm (76 in) in height.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Live tools at 5,000 rpm on a 10-inch, 1,000 mm (39 in) twin-turret lathe
- Single-setup machining, which DN lists as a source of accuracy and time savings for the series
- 26 kW (35 hp) main spindle, against 22 kW (29 hp) on the PUMA TL 2000 LM
- Same 8,500 kg (18,739 lb) weight as the turning-only PUMA TL 2500 L, so the driven tools add no listed mass
- 1,050 mm (41 in) of Z travel with a programmable tailstock described for the series
Limitations
- Turning diameter is 350 mm (14 in), below the 370 mm (15 in) of the PUMA TL 2500 L
- No Y travel is listed, which keeps milled features on the centreline
- Driven-tool power and torque are missing from the table
- Main spindle is limited to 4,000 rpm and 433 N·m (319 ft-lb); the PUMA TL 2000 LM lists 5,000 rpm and 477 N·m (352 ft-lb)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table lists a live-tool speed of 5,000 rpm. That covers drilling, tapping and milling on the centreline of the part, in the same clamping as the turning. No Y travel is listed, and neither is the power or torque of the driven tools, so off-centre features and heavy milling should be discussed with DN Solutions before the machine is specified for them.
02
Two rows. The PUMA TL 2500 LM has a live-tool speed of 5,000 rpm, and its maximum turning diameter is 350 mm (14 in) where the PUMA TL 2500 L lists 370 mm (15 in). Turning length of 1,000 mm (39 in), Z travel of 1,050 mm (41 in), the spindle rating and the 8,500 kg (18,739 lb) weight are identical.
03
They are separate drives with separate jobs. The main spindle turns a 10-inch chuck and the workpiece, and DN lists it at 4,000 rpm with 26 kW (35 hp). The driven tools turn small drills and cutters, which need more speed to reach a useful cutting speed at their small diameters, and are listed at 5,000 rpm.
04
The working envelope and the 5,000 rpm live tools match. 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), and weighs 8,400 kg (18,519 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), and weighs 8,500 kg (18,739 lb).
05
The table gives 12 turret stations. DN's description of the series counts 20 stations, made up of 12 + 8 turret stations on the upper and lower turrets. Driven holders and turning tools share those stations, so lay out the tooling for both turrets before assuming a part with many milled features will fit.
