Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA TW 2600 M is the big brother of the TW 2100 M twin-spindle platform, stepping up to a 10-inch chuck and significantly larger turning envelope. It's a twin-spindle, twin-turret horizontal turning center with live tooling, built for production shops that need the throughput advantage of two spindles but are working with larger parts than the 2100 series can handle.
Each spindle delivers 18.5 kW (25 hp) with 201 N-m (148 ft-lb) of torque at speeds up to 3,500 RPM. That's a meaningful step up from the TW 2100 M's 15 kW, and the 10-inch chuck swings parts up to 360 mm (14 in) diameter with a max turning length of 170 mm (7 in). The live tooling runs at 5,000 RPM across 10 stations per turret, giving you cross-drilling and milling capability on both spindles.
Axis travels are 190 mm on X and 180 mm on Z, with 24 m/min rapids on both axes. The larger footprint at 2,520 mm x 2,061 mm and 7,300 kg (16,094 lb) reflects the heavier construction needed for the bigger chuck and higher cutting forces. This is still a compact machine for its capability — you're getting twin-spindle mill-turn output in a footprint not much bigger than a single large lathe.
The FANUC control handles both spindles independently, so you can run different programs or the same part on both sides. For shops in the automotive, hydraulic, or industrial valve space that are turning medium-size parts with milled features, the TW 2600 M consolidates what used to take a lathe and a mill into one machine running two parts simultaneously.
This machine fills a specific gap: parts too big for the TW 2100 M but where you still want twin-spindle throughput with live tooling. It's particularly well-suited for flanges, couplings, and valve bodies in the 6-to-14-inch diameter range.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 10-inch chuck with 360 mm max turning diameter handles medium-size parts that the TW 2100 series can't reach
- 25 hp spindles with 201 N-m torque provide enough grunt for steel and stainless cutting at production feeds
- Twin-spindle, twin-turret layout with live tooling on both sides delivers complete parts from two work zones simultaneously
- 24 m/min rapids on both axes maintain fast chip-to-chip times despite the larger machine envelope
- Compact footprint for a twin-spindle 10-inch machine — not much bigger than a standalone PUMA 2600
- FANUC control with independent spindle programming lets you run identical or different parts on each side
Limitations
- 170 mm (7 in) max turning length is very short — this machine's only for stubby parts, not shafts
- No Y-axis limits milling to C-axis interpolation, ruling out off-center pocketing and complex milled features
- 7,300 kg machine weight and twin-spindle complexity mean higher installation and maintenance costs
- 3,500 RPM max spindle speed is modest — small-diameter aluminum parts won't reach optimal surface speeds
- Limited to production environments; the twin-spindle investment doesn't pay off for low-volume job shop work

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The TW 2600 M steps up to a 10-inch chuck (vs 8-inch), 360 mm max diameter (vs 240 mm), 25 hp spindles (vs 20 hp), and higher torque at 201 N-m (vs 127 N-m). It's a bigger, heavier machine for bigger parts. Live tooling speed drops from 6,000 to 5,000 RPM. If your parts fit in the TW 2100 M, stick with it for the faster cycle times.
02
While the machine can accept bar feeders, the 170 mm max turning length and 180 mm Z-axis travel make it more suited for chucked parts than long bar work. For bar feeding with twin spindles, the TW 2100 series with its smaller chuck and more appropriate length ratios is a better fit.
03
With C-axis and 5,000 RPM live tooling, you can do cross-drilling, flat milling, hex features, keyways, and thread milling. You can't do off-center pocketing without a Y-axis. For parts needing true Y-axis milling in a twin-turret package, look at the PUMA TT 2500 SY.
04
New machines typically run $250,000-$320,000 depending on tooling package, chip conveyor, and options. Used TW 2600 M units are uncommon on the secondary market since they tend to stay in production. The twin-spindle premium over a single-spindle PUMA 2600 is significant but justified by the throughput increase.
