Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 1000 MA is a horizontal turning center for parts up to 1,000 mm (39 in) in diameter and 2,040 mm (80 in) long, with a 12-station turret whose driven tools run to 3,000 rpm. Of the two spindles in the PUMA 1000 family it carries the faster one: 500 rpm, 75 kW (101 hp) and 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb).

Two rows separate it from the PUMA 1000 A, which has the same spindle. The PUMA 1000 A lists a 10-station turret and no live-tool speed, while this model lists 12 stations and the 3,000 rpm rotary drive. On a flange or shaft end of this size that matters more than on a small lathe, because bolt circles, cross-holes and keyways can be cut in the turning setup instead of re-clamping a part that takes a crane to move.

Against the PUMA 1000 MB the choice is a spindle trade. The PUMA 1000 MB turns at 300 rpm with 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) and weighs 23,000 kg (50,706 lb). The PUMA 1000 MA accepts slightly less torque for a 500 rpm ceiling, which shows on journals, bores and other small diameters of a large part, where 300 rpm holds the surface speed down.

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). DN describes the series as a box-guideway design that is capable of threading work and can index the turret with a long boring bar mounted. A big-bore spindle of up to Ø560 mm is given as the series maximum, and the chuck is listed as order made, so bore and chuck are settled in the quotation. The machine measures 6,595 × 3,210 × 2,835 mm (260 × 126 × 112 in) as length, width and height and weighs 21,000 kg (46,297 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

12-station turret with driven tools to 3,000 rpm; the PUMA 1000 A has 10 stations and no live-tool speed
500 rpm spindle with 75 kW (101 hp) and 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb), the faster of the two PUMA 1000 spindle versions
Turns 1,000 mm (39 in) in diameter and 2,040 mm (80 in) in length on 2,130 mm (84 in) of Z travel
DN states the turret can index with a long boring bar mounted, which saves handling on deep bores
Box guideways, as DN describes the series, in a 21,000 kg (46,297 lb) machine

Limitations

Torque is 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb); the PUMA 1000 MB lists 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) for heavier roughing
The table gives no power or torque for the live-tool drive, so milling capacity has to be confirmed with DN
No Y travel is listed, so driven tools work on the spindle centreline
Chuck size is order made and the Ø560 mm big bore is a series maximum, not a fixed figure for this model

Best For

Large flanges and discs up to 1,000 mm (39 in) that need bolt circles drilled in the same setup Shafts and rolls up to 2,040 mm (80 in) long with keyways or cross-holes Deep boring with long bars, where the turret can still index Threading work on large diameters Parts with mixed diameters that benefit from the 500 rpm top speed

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the PUMA 1000 MA and the PUMA 1000 A?

The turret. Both list the same 500 rpm, 75 kW (101 hp), 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb) spindle, the same 1,000 mm (39 in) by 2,040 mm (80 in) turning capacity and the same 21,000 kg (46,297 lb) weight. The PUMA 1000 A has a 10-station turret with no live-tool speed in its column. The PUMA 1000 MA has 12 stations and driven tools to 3,000 rpm.

02 Should I choose the PUMA 1000 MA or the PUMA 1000 MB?

Both have the 12-station turret with 3,000 rpm driven tools and the same travels. The PUMA 1000 MB runs to 300 rpm with 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) and weighs 23,000 kg (50,706 lb). The PUMA 1000 MA runs to 500 rpm with 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb) at 21,000 kg (46,297 lb). Take the slower spindle for the heaviest cuts at large diameter, and the faster one when the part also has small diameters to finish.

03 What chuck and spindle bore does the PUMA 1000 MA come with?

DN lists the chuck as order made, so it is specified with the order instead of being fixed in the table. For the series DN mentions a big-bore spindle of up to Ø560 mm for shafts and similar parts. That is a series maximum, so confirm the bore offered on this model in the quotation.

04 Does the PUMA 1000 MA have a Y-axis?

The table lists X travel of 540 mm (21 in) and Z travel of 2,130 mm (84 in) and no Y travel. The 3,000 rpm driven tools therefore drill, tap and mill on the spindle centreline, axially and radially. Off-centre flats or pockets held to position are outside what the listed axes show.

05 How much room does the PUMA 1000 MA need?

The listed dimensions are 6,595 × 3,210 × 2,835 mm (260 × 126 × 112 in) as length, width and height, and the machine weighs 21,000 kg (46,297 lb). Allow extra space for chip handling and for crane access over the chuck, since parts up to 1,000 mm (39 in) in diameter will not be loaded by hand.
