Overview
Torque defines the DN Solutions PUMA 1000 MB. Its spindle delivers 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) from 75 kW (101 hp) and tops out at 300 rpm, the slower and stronger of the two spindle versions in the family, and it pairs that with a 12-station turret carrying 3,000 rpm driven tools.
A 300 rpm limit sounds low until the part size is taken into account. The machine turns up to 1,000 mm (39 in) in diameter, and at that size a slow spindle still gives a workable surface speed; what the cut needs is torque. DN's own description of the series points at large parts in tough, difficult-to-machine materials and at pipe work with threading. Where the low ceiling does bite is on the small diameters of the same part. If journals or bores well under the maximum diameter make up much of the cycle, the PUMA 1000 MA offers 500 rpm with 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb) on the same travels.
Set beside the PUMA 1000 B, which shares this 300 rpm spindle, the table shows two differences: 12 stations instead of 10, and a 3,000 rpm live-tool speed. There is no Y travel listed and no power figure for the driven tools, so treat the milling side as drilling, tapping and centreline slotting until DN confirms more.
It is the heavier build. The PUMA 1000 MB weighs 23,000 kg (50,706 lb), where the PUMA 1000 MA weighs 21,000 kg (46,297 lb), inside the same 6,595 × 3,210 × 2,835 mm (260 × 126 × 112 in) of length, width and height. Travels are 540 mm (21 in) in X and 2,130 mm (84 in) in Z for a turning length of 2,040 mm (80 in). Rapids are 12 m/min (472 ipm) in X and 16 m/min (630 ipm) in Z. The chuck is order made.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) of spindle torque from 75 kW (101 hp), the higher of the two PUMA 1000 torque ratings
- Driven tools to 3,000 rpm on a 12-station turret, where the PUMA 1000 B lists 10 stations and no live tooling
- 2,130 mm (84 in) of Z travel and 2,040 mm (80 in) of turning length for long, heavy shafts
- 23,000 kg (50,706 lb) of machine weight on box guideways, as DN describes the series
- DN describes the series as capable of threading work for pipe machining
Limitations
- Spindle speed stops at 300 rpm; the PUMA 1000 MA reaches 500 rpm
- No live-tool power or torque in the table, so milling cuts cannot be sized from the listed figures
- X rapid of 12 m/min (472 ipm) and Z rapid of 16 m/min (630 ipm) add non-cutting time on a 2,130 mm (84 in) stroke
- Needs floor capacity for 23,000 kg (50,706 lb) before the workpiece and chuck are added

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table gives this model the lower-speed, higher-torque spindle of the family: 300 rpm with 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb) from 75 kW (101 hp). The PUMA 1000 MA uses the other version, 500 rpm with 11,011 N·m (8,121 ft-lb) at the same power. On work close to the 1,000 mm (39 in) maximum diameter the lower speed is rarely the limit; on small diameters it is.
02
Spindle, travels and weight are the same in both columns: 300 rpm, 12,040 N·m (8,880 ft-lb), 540 mm (21 in) of X, 2,130 mm (84 in) of Z and 23,000 kg (50,706 lb). The PUMA 1000 B lists a 10-station turret. The PUMA 1000 MB lists 12 stations and a live-tool speed of 3,000 rpm.
03
The table states a live-tool speed of 3,000 rpm and nothing else about the drive, and it lists no Y travel. That supports drilling and tapping bolt patterns, cross-holes and slots cut through the centreline. Ask DN for the live-tool power and torque before planning heavy milling on this machine.
04
DN says the PUMA 1000 series machines are capable of threading work and lists a big-bore spindle of up to Ø560 mm as the series maximum. The chuck on this model is order made. Whether a given pipe passes through the spindle depends on the bore actually quoted, so state the pipe diameter when asking for a configuration.
05
23,000 kg (50,706 lb), with listed dimensions of 6,595 × 3,210 × 2,835 mm (260 × 126 × 112 in) as length, width and height. The PUMA 1000 MA is 21,000 kg (46,297 lb). Check the foundation for the machine plus the heaviest part and chuck you expect to run.
