Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA TL 2500 XL is the extra-long-bed variant of the TL 2500 twin-turret turning center. It stretches the Z-axis to 1,300 mm (51 in) with 1,250 mm (49 in) of max turning length, making it the longest-reach machine in the TL 2500 family. This is a turning-only configuration — no live tooling — built for shops that need dual-turret productivity on longer shafts and cylindrical components.

The spindle runs 26 kW (35 hp) at up to 4,000 RPM with 433 Nm (319 ft-lb) of torque through a 10-inch (254 mm) chuck. Max turning diameter is 370 mm (15 in). Both turrets carry 12 stations each for 24 total, and simultaneous cutting on both turrets can cut cycle times by 30-50% compared to single-turret machines.

X-axis travel is 250 mm (10 in) with rapids at 20 m/min on X and 24 m/min on Z. At 9,600 kg (21,164 lb), the TL 2500 XL is the heaviest machine in the standard TL 2500 lineup — the extended bed and supporting structure add over 2,000 kg compared to the base model. The footprint is 4,510 mm (178 in) long by 2,630 mm (104 in) wide.

The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control manages dual-turret synchronization. The XL bed length is particularly useful for applications like prop shafts, long valve stems, pump shafts, and any cylindrical component where you need both the turning length and the simultaneous cutting productivity of twin turrets.

If you need the same extra-long bed with live tooling, DN Solutions offers the TL 2500 XLM. But for shops running pure turning work on longer parts at high volume, the XL keeps things simpler and more cost-effective by omitting the milling capability you don't need.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,300 mm Z-axis travel with twin turrets handles long shafts that shorter dual-turret machines can't reach
24 total tool stations with simultaneous cutting deliver 30-50% cycle time reductions on longer parts
9,600 kg mass provides exceptional stability for simultaneous cutting across the extended bed
Turning-only configuration keeps cost and complexity lower than the XLM live-tooling variant
26 kW spindle with 433 Nm torque handles production turning in steel and stainless
FANUC 0i-TF Plus control with proven dual-turret management

Limitations

No live tooling — cross-drilling, milling, and tapping require a separate machine
9,600 kg weight requires reinforced flooring and limits machine relocation
4,510 mm length and 2,630 mm width demand significant floor space
Dual-turret programming adds complexity compared to single-turret long-bed lathes

Best For

High-volume production of long shafts, sleeves, and cylinders in the 800-1,250 mm length range Prop shaft, drive shaft, and pump shaft production requiring dual-turret cycle time reduction Oil and gas component manufacturing with long cylindrical parts Automotive suppliers running long turned components at volume where cycle time is critical Shops needing the longest possible turning length with twin-turret productivity

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a PUMA TL 2500 XL cost?

Expect $175,000-$230,000 new. The extra-long bed adds to the base TL 2500 price, but omitting live tooling keeps it below the XLM variant. Used machines sell in the $75,000-$140,000 range depending on year and condition.

02 How does the TL 2500 XL compare to the TL 2500 L?

The XL has 1,300 mm of Z-axis travel versus 1,050 mm on the L, giving you an extra 250 mm of turning length. The XL is also heavier (9,600 kg vs 8,500 kg) and has a larger footprint. Choose the XL if your parts regularly exceed 1,000 mm in length.

03 Can I upgrade to live tooling later?

Generally no — the XL and XLM are different configurations from the factory. The turret structure and control programming differ between turning-only and live-tooling models. If there's any chance you'll need milling, order the XLM upfront.

04 Is a steady rest available for the TL 2500 XL?

Yes, steady rests are a common option on the extra-long-bed TL machines. For slender shafts with high length-to-diameter ratios, steady rest support is recommended to prevent deflection and maintain surface finish quality.
