Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA TL 2500 XLM is the top-of-the-line variant in the TL 2500 twin-turret family: extra-long bed, live tooling on both turrets, and 24 tool stations. It's designed for shops that need to turn, mill, drill, and tap long parts at production speed using simultaneous dual-turret operations. If you're looking for the most productive single-spindle turning platform DN Solutions makes in this class, this is it.
The spindle runs 26 kW (35 hp) at 4,000 RPM through a 10-inch (254 mm) chuck with 433 Nm (319 ft-lb) of torque. Max turning diameter is 350 mm (14 in) with 1,250 mm (49 in) of turning length on the extra-long bed. Z-axis travel stretches to 1,300 mm (51 in). Both turrets carry live tools spinning at 5,000 RPM for C-axis milling work.
The real power here is the combination of length, live tooling, and simultaneous cutting. One turret can handle OD turning while the other drills cross-holes. One roughs while the other finishes. The programming options for overlapping operations are extensive, and the cycle time savings on the right parts are substantial — 40-60% reductions versus doing the same work on a single-turret machine plus a VMC.
At 9,700 kg (21,385 lb), this is a heavy machine. The 4,510 mm (178 in) by 2,630 mm (104 in) footprint demands serious floor space. But that mass works for you — it damps vibration from simultaneous cutting forces and keeps the machine stable on heavy interrupted cuts across the long bed.
The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control handles dual-turret synchronization, live tool interpolation, and interference management. This machine demands experienced programmers and good CAM software with multi-turret simulation. It's not a machine you buy for occasional use — it's a dedicated production tool that pays for itself on high-volume parts with both turning and milling features.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Most capable TL 2500 variant — extra-long bed, twin turrets, and live tooling in one package
- 5,000 RPM live tools on both turrets enable simultaneous turning and milling operations
- 1,300 mm Z-axis travel handles long shafts with milling features up to 1,250 mm turning length
- 24 total tool stations provide capacity for complex multi-operation parts
- 9,700 kg mass ensures stability during simultaneous dual-turret cutting and milling
- FANUC 0i-TF Plus control with full dual-turret synchronization and C-axis interpolation
Limitations
- Highest acquisition cost in the TL 2500 family at $220,000-$280,000
- Programming complexity is the most demanding — requires experienced multi-turret programmers and advanced CAM
- 9,700 kg weight and 4,510 mm length require reinforced flooring and significant floor space
- 350 mm max turning diameter is reduced versus non-milling variants
- Populating 24 live-tool stations significantly increases tooling investment

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Expect $220,000-$280,000 new. It's the most expensive TL 2500 variant, combining the extra-long bed with live tooling on both turrets. The investment pays back on high-volume parts where the dual-turret milling capability eliminates secondary operations.
02
Both have twin turrets with live tooling. The XLM has 1,300 mm of Z-axis travel versus 1,050 mm on the LM, giving you an extra 250 mm of turning length. The XLM is heavier (9,700 kg vs 8,500 kg) and has a bigger footprint. Choose by part length.
03
Both turrets run live tools at 5,000 RPM with C-axis interpolation. You can cross-drill, tap, mill flats, and cut keyways. Note that only one turret can actively mill at a time since there's one spindle C-axis, but you can overlap turning on one turret with milling on the other.
04
If you're running less than 500-1,000 parts per month of the same complex long part, probably yes. The TL 2500 XLM makes economic sense when the cycle time savings and setup elimination pay back the investment within 2-3 years. Run the numbers on your specific part families.
