Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA TL 2500 XLM is a 10-inch twin-turret lathe that pairs 1,300 mm (51 in) of Z travel with live tools at 5,000 rpm. Maximum turning length is 1,250 mm (49 in), and the main spindle is rated 26 kW (35 hp) and 433 N·m (319 ft-lb) with a 4,000 rpm limit.
It exists for one kind of part: a long shaft that also needs drilled or milled features. Handling is the expensive step with such work. A long shaft is awkward to move, takes time to set true in a second machine, and can pick up an error between its journals and its keyway each time it is re-clamped. DN lists single setups, with the accuracy and time savings they bring, as a purpose of the series, and this model applies that to the longest parts in the group.
Compared with the PUMA TL 2500 LM, which has the same spindle and the same live-tool speed, the gain is length: the PUMA TL 2500 LM has 1,050 mm (41 in) of Z travel and a 1,000 mm (39 in) turning length and weighs 8,500 kg (18,739 lb). This one weighs 9,700 kg (21,385 lb) and stands on 4,510 × 2,630 mm (178 × 104 in) of floor at a height of 2,115 mm (83 in), so the installation has to be planned as carefully as the process.
Two rows call for questions. The turning diameter is printed as 350 / 240 mm, a pair of values that the table leaves unexplained. And the driven tools are described by speed alone: there is no power, no torque and no Y travel in the table. Until DN confirms otherwise, plan on centreline holes, slots and flats.
X travel is 250 mm (10 in). Rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z. The table lists 12 turret stations, and DN counts the series as 20 stations, 12 + 8, across the two turrets.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,250 mm (49 in) turning length together with 5,000 rpm live tools, so long shafts leave the machine complete
- 1,300 mm (51 in) of Z travel, where the PUMA TL 2500 LM has 1,050 mm (41 in)
- Single-setup machining of long parts, the accuracy and time saving DN describes for the series
- 26 kW (35 hp), 433 N·m (319 ft-lb) main spindle with a 10-inch chuck
- Upper and lower turrets, counted by DN as 20 stations (12 + 8) for the series
Limitations
- Heaviest model in the comparison at 9,700 kg (21,385 lb), on a 4,510 × 2,630 mm (178 × 104 in) plan
- Turning diameter is given as 350 / 240 mm, with the meaning of the two values not stated
- Only a speed is listed for the driven tools; power, torque and Y travel are absent
- Main spindle speed stops at 4,000 rpm, against 5,000 rpm on the 8-inch PUMA TL 2000 LM

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Turn and mill long shafts in one setup. It has a 1,250 mm (49 in) turning length, 1,300 mm (51 in) of Z travel and live tools listed at 5,000 rpm. DN describes the PUMA TL series as optimized for shafts turned simultaneously by upper and lower turrets, with a programmable tailstock for longer components and single setups for accuracy.
02
In length, size and weight. The PUMA TL 2500 LM has a 1,000 mm (39 in) turning length on 1,050 mm (41 in) of Z travel and weighs 8,500 kg (18,739 lb). The PUMA TL 2500 XLM has 1,250 mm (49 in) on 1,300 mm (51 in) and weighs 9,700 kg (21,385 lb). Chuck size, the 4,000 rpm spindle, 26 kW (35 hp), 433 N·m (319 ft-lb) and the 5,000 rpm live tools are the same. The diameter row reads 350 mm (14 in) on the PUMA TL 2500 LM and 350 / 240 mm here.
03
DN prints 350 / 240 mm for this model. The table does not say what distinguishes the two values, so the cautious reading is 240 mm until DN Solutions confirms where 350 mm is available. X travel is 250 mm (10 in). Raise the question early if your shafts carry a flange or a collar larger than 240 mm.
04
No Y travel appears in the table, which lists X travel of 250 mm (10 in) and Z travel of 1,300 mm (51 in). The driven tools are listed at 5,000 rpm with no power or torque figure. That points to on-centre drilling, tapping and milling. Ask DN before specifying the machine for features offset from the shaft axis.
05
The machine is 4,510 mm long, 2,630 mm wide and 2,115 mm high (178 × 104 × 83 in) and weighs 9,700 kg (21,385 lb). Confirm door openings and lifting capacity for delivery, floor loading for that weight, and clear access to load shafts of up to 1,250 mm (49 in). Electrical and air requirements are not in the table.
