Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA 1000 A is a two-axis horizontal turning center for parts up to 1,000 mm (39 in) in diameter and 2,040 mm (80 in) long, driven by a 75 kW (101 hp) spindle that produces 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb) and runs to 500 rpm. DN describes the PUMA 1000 series as its largest box guideway turning center. The chuck is listed as ORDER MADE, so it is specified with the machine.
Within the series the A is the faster of the two turning-only models. The PUMA 1000 B has the same 75 kW (101 hp) but is limited to 300 rpm, with torque of 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) and a weight of 23,000 kg (50,706 lb) against 21,000 kg (46,297 lb) here. Put plainly, the PUMA 1000 B gains about 9% in torque and gives up 40% of the speed. For a shop whose parts range from large flanges down to shaft ends, 500 rpm is the more useful limit.
Travels are 540 mm (21 in) in X and 2,130 mm (84 in) in Z, with rapids of 12 m/min (472 ipm) and 16 m/min (630 ipm). The turret has 10 stations. DN says it can index even with a long boring bar mounted, which is relevant because deep boring of large hubs and cylinders is typical work at this size. The driven-tool PUMA 1000 MA has a 12-station turret and live tools at 3,000 rpm on the same spindle figures; this column has no live tool speed.
DN's series text also mentions threading capability and a big-bore spindle of up to Ø560 mm for shafts and similar parts. That is a series maximum. The bore of this model is not in its column, and since the chuck is made to order as well, both should be fixed in writing before the machine is compared with others.
The machine measures 6,595 × 3,210 × 2,835 mm (260 × 126 × 112 in), length by width by height, and weighs 21,000 kg (46,297 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 75 kW (101 hp) spindle with 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb) of torque
- 1,000 mm (39 in) maximum turning diameter and 2,040 mm (80 in) turning length
- 500 rpm top speed, against 300 rpm on the PUMA 1000 B
- Turret can index with a long boring bar mounted, according to DN
- Box guideway construction, as DN describes the series
Limitations
- 10 turret stations; the PUMA 1000 MA has 12 stations and 3,000 rpm live tools
- 500 rpm limits surface speed on small diameters
- Chuck is made to order and no spindle bore is listed for the model; Ø560 mm is the series maximum
- Torque is 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb), below the 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) of the PUMA 1000 B

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Spindle speed, torque and weight. The PUMA 1000 A runs to 500 rpm with 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb) and weighs 21,000 kg (46,297 lb). The PUMA 1000 B runs to 300 rpm with 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) and weighs 23,000 kg (50,706 lb). Power, travels, turning capacity and the 10-station turret are the same.
02
Up to 1,000 mm (39 in) in turning diameter and 2,040 mm (80 in) in turning length. X travel is 540 mm (21 in) and Z travel is 2,130 mm (84 in). No maximum workpiece weight is given in the table, so request it along with the chuck specification.
03
The chuck row reads ORDER MADE: there is no standard size and the chuck is specified per order. The model's column does not state a spindle bore. DN quotes a big-bore spindle of up to Ø560 mm for the PUMA 1000 series, so ask which bore this model is being quoted with.
04
No live tool speed is listed for it, and its turret has 10 stations. The PUMA 1000 MA is the driven-tool counterpart, with a 12-station turret and live tools at 3,000 rpm on the same 75 kW (101 hp), 500 rpm spindle.
05
The PUMA VT 1100 turns a larger diameter, 1,100 mm (43 in), but only 960 mm (38 in) in length, with 65 kW (87 hp), 7,559 N·m (5,575 ft-lb) and 850 rpm. The PUMA 1000 A offers 2,040 mm (80 in) of turning length and 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb), so it is the choice for long or shaft-type parts.
06
DN lists 6,595 × 3,210 × 2,835 mm (260 × 126 × 112 in), length by width by height, and a machine weight of 21,000 kg (46,297 lb). The foundation also has to carry the chuck and the workpiece, neither of which is included in that weight.
