Overview

With 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) of spindle torque and a 300 rpm limit, the DN Solutions PUMA 1000 B is the low-speed, high-torque turning model of the PUMA 1000 series. It turns up to 1,000 mm (39 in) in diameter and 2,040 mm (80 in) in length on a two-axis machine with a 75 kW (101 hp) spindle, a 10-station turret and a chuck that DN lists as ORDER MADE.

The comparison that matters is with the PUMA 1000 A, which uses the same 75 kW (101 hp) but runs to 500 rpm with 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb). The B adds about 9% torque and weighs 23,000 kg (50,706 lb) against 21,000 kg (46,297 lb) for the PUMA 1000 A, and its speed range ends at 300 rpm. Nothing in the table explains the heavier build directly. DN's series description offers the likely context: a big-bore spindle of up to Ø560 mm for shaft work, and threading. Whether the B is the big-bore version is not stated in its column, so the bore should be asked for by model.

What 300 rpm means in practice depends on diameter. Near 1,000 mm (39 in) it is more than enough to reach normal cutting speeds in steel. At the small end of a stepped shaft it is restrictive, and finishing passes there will take longer than on the PUMA 1000 A. This is a machine for work that stays large: rolls, heavy pipe, large couplings and hubs, parts in the tough and difficult-to-machine materials DN names as the target of the series.

The rest of the column is shared with the A model. X travel is 540 mm (21 in) and Z travel is 2,130 mm (84 in), with rapids of 12 m/min (472 ipm) and 16 m/min (630 ipm). DN states that the turret can index with a long boring bar mounted. For driven tools there is the PUMA 1000 MB, which is listed with 12 stations and a live tool speed of 3,000 rpm on the same 300 rpm spindle. The footprint is 6,595 × 3,210 × 2,835 mm (260 × 126 × 112 in), length by width by height.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) of spindle torque, about 9% more than the PUMA 1000 A
75 kW (101 hp) spindle on a box guideway machine weighing 23,000 kg (50,706 lb)
1,000 mm (39 in) turning diameter with 540 mm (21 in) of X travel
2,040 mm (80 in) turning length and a 16 m/min (630 ipm) Z rapid
DN lists threading work as a capability of the PUMA 1000 series

Limitations

300 rpm maximum spindle speed, where the PUMA 1000 A reaches 500 rpm
10 turret stations and no live tools; the PUMA 1000 MB has 12 stations and 3,000 rpm live tools
No standard chuck: the size is listed as ORDER MADE
Spindle bore is not given for this model; the Ø560 mm figure is the maximum for the series

Best For

Low-speed roughing of large rolls and forgings with 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) Parts that stay near the 1,000 mm (39 in) diameter limit along their length Heavy pipe and shaft work up to 2,040 mm (80 in) long Threading and boring of large parts in tough materials

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why would I pick the PUMA 1000 B over the PUMA 1000 A?

For torque at low speed. The PUMA 1000 B is listed at 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) and 300 rpm; the PUMA 1000 A at 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb) and 500 rpm. Both have 75 kW (101 hp). If the parts never need more than 300 rpm, the B gives the higher torque; if they include small diameters, the PUMA 1000 A covers a wider range.

02 Is 300 rpm enough for my parts?

It depends on the smallest diameter that has to be machined. On diameters approaching 1,000 mm (39 in), 300 rpm is well above what roughing or finishing needs. On small journals and bores it holds cutting speed down and stretches cycle time. Look at the smallest finished diameter on the part, not the largest.

03 Does the PUMA 1000 B have a big-bore spindle?

Its column does not give a bore. DN says the PUMA 1000 series offers a big-bore spindle of up to Ø560 mm, suited to shafts and similar parts, and the made-to-order chuck fits that kind of work. Confirm the bore for the B itself, because the series figure is a maximum.

04 What tooling does the turret take?

The turret has 10 stations and no live tool speed is listed. DN notes that it can index even when a long boring bar is mounted. The PUMA 1000 MB is the alternative with 12 stations and live tools at 3,000 rpm.

05 How big and heavy is the PUMA 1000 B?

It is listed at 6,595 mm (260 in) long, 3,210 mm (126 in) wide and 2,835 mm (112 in) high, and weighs 23,000 kg (50,706 lb). The PUMA 1000 A is 21,000 kg (46,297 lb).
