Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 1000 MA is a true heavy-duty turning center built for large-diameter, long-shaft work that smaller machines simply can't touch. With a 1,000 mm (39 in) max turning diameter and 2,040 mm (80 in) of turning length, this machine handles the kind of parts that keep oil & gas, power generation, and mining operations running — think large shafts, rolls, drill pipe, and heavy industrial components.

The spindle is a monster: 75 kW (101 hp) driving 11,011 N-m (8,121 ft-lb) of torque at up to 500 RPM. That's not a typo — over 11,000 N-m of torque. When you're roughing large-diameter forgings in 4340 or taking heavy cuts in stainless housings, you need that kind of force. The chuck is custom-made (order-specific) to match the application, which is standard practice for machines in this class.

Axis travels are 540 mm (21 in) on X and 2,130 mm (84 in) on Z. Rapids run at 12/16 m/min — slower than smaller machines, but you're moving a lot more mass and rigidity matters more than rapid speed at this scale. The 12-station turret accepts live tooling at 3,000 RPM for cross-drilling, tapping, and milling operations on large parts.

At 21,000 kg (46,297 lb), the PUMA 1000 MA demands serious foundation work. The machine measures 6,595 mm (260 in) long and 3,210 mm (126 in) wide. This isn't a machine you squeeze into a corner — it needs a dedicated area with properly engineered foundations.

The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control handles the turning and milling programming. For shops doing large-diameter work that's currently going to manual lathes or outsourced to specialty shops, the PUMA 1000 MA brings that capability in-house with CNC precision and repeatability.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

11,011 N-m (8,121 ft-lb) of torque is massive — handles the heaviest roughing in large-diameter work
75 kW (101 hp) spindle power gives authority for aggressive material removal on forgings and castings
1,000 mm (39 in) swing and 2,040 mm (80 in) turning length cover large industrial components
Live tooling at 3,000 RPM adds milling capability for cross-holes and features on large parts
Custom chuck sizing matches the machine to specific application requirements
FANUC 0i-TF Plus control brings CNC precision to work traditionally done on manual lathes

Limitations

500 RPM max spindle speed means this is strictly for large-diameter work — small parts aren't practical
21,000 kg (46,297 lb) requires engineered foundations and significant rigging to install
6,595 mm (260 in) length demands a large dedicated floor area
Custom chuck ordering adds lead time compared to standard chuck machines
12/16 m/min rapids are slow, though positioning time is less critical on parts of this size

Best For

Oil & gas manufacturers turning large-diameter pipe, drill collars, and downhole components Power generation facilities machining turbine shafts, generator rotors, and large housings Mining and heavy equipment manufacturers turning large shafts and rollers Steel mill roll turning and reconditioning operations Shops bringing large-diameter turning in-house to reduce outsourcing costs and lead times

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a PUMA 1000 MA cost?

Expect $350,000-$500,000 depending on tooling, options, and custom chuck requirements. Foundation work, rigging, and installation can add significant cost. These machines are typically quoted project-by-project with DN Solutions and their distributors.

02 What's the difference between the PUMA 1000 MA and MB?

Both have the same work envelope and spindle power. The MB runs at 300 RPM max (vs 500 RPM on the MA) with slightly more torque at 12,040 N-m. The MB is optimized for even larger diameter, slower-speed work. The MA is the more versatile choice for a range of large-diameter turning.

03 Why is the max spindle speed only 500 RPM?

At 1,000 mm diameter, 500 RPM delivers about 1,570 SFM — that's adequate surface speed for steel and stainless at that diameter. Smaller diameters rarely go on this machine. The gearing prioritizes torque over speed because that's what large-diameter roughing demands.

04 What foundation does the PUMA 1000 MA need?

At 21,000 kg, you need an engineered concrete foundation with proper isolation. DN Solutions provides foundation drawings specific to the machine configuration. Budget for 12-18 inches of reinforced concrete minimum, and consult a structural engineer for your specific soil conditions.
