Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 2600 YB II is a single-spindle Y-axis lathe that puts a 12 in chuck and a 1,123 N·m (828 ft-lb) spindle on the short PUMA 2600 bed. Spindle power is 26 kW (35 hp) and the speed limit is 2,800 rpm. Turning length is 725 mm (29 in) on 830 mm (33 in) of Z travel.

What the bigger chuck does not buy is swing. Maximum turning diameter is 376 mm (15 in), the same figure the 10 in PUMA 2600 Y II carries, and X travel is 260 mm (10 in) on both. The gain is in how hard the machine can drive a cut near that diameter. Against the PUMA 2600 Y II and its 599 N·m (442 ft-lb), torque rises by about 87% on about 18% more power, and the top speed falls from 4,000 rpm to 2,800 rpm. A shop that mostly turns large billets and forgings will use the torque every day. A shop that finishes small diameters will miss the speed, because surface speed on a slender part depends on rpm this spindle no longer has.

The penalty in size is small. The PUMA 2600 YB II is 3,873 mm (152 in) long and weighs 6,200 kg (13,669 lb); the PUMA 2600 Y II is 3,560 mm (140 in) long and weighs 6,100 kg (13,448 lb). Width and height are 1,945 mm (77 in) and 2,163 mm (85 in), and turning length drops from the 760 mm (30 in) of the PUMA 2600 Y II to 725 mm (29 in).

Milled features come from a 12-station turret with live tools to 5,000 rpm and 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel. Rapid traverse is 30 m/min (1,181 ipm). The table has no sub-spindle rows for this model, so the second end means turning the part around by hand or with a loader. The PUMA 2600 SYB II is the same short-bed 12 in machine with a 4,500 rpm, 7.5 kW (10 hp) sub-spindle, and the PUMA 2600 LYB II stretches turning length to 1,245 mm (49 in).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,123 N·m (828 ft-lb) of spindle torque, about 87% more than the 599 N·m (442 ft-lb) of the PUMA 2600 Y II
12 in chuck and 26 kW (35 hp) on the short bed, in a machine 3,873 mm (152 in) long
Y travel of 105 mm (4 in) with 5,000 rpm live tools on a 12-station turret
6,200 kg (13,669 lb), lighter than the 6,650 kg (14,661 lb) PUMA 2600 SYB II and the 7,500 kg (16,535 lb) PUMA 2600 LYB II
Rapids of 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) keep non-cutting moves short across 830 mm (33 in) of Z travel

Limitations

Spindle speed is capped at 2,800 rpm; the PUMA 2600 Y II reaches 4,000 rpm
Turning diameter stays at 376 mm (15 in) despite the 12 in chuck
No sub-spindle rows in DN's table for this model; the PUMA 2600 SYB II has one at 4,500 rpm and 7.5 kW (10 hp)
Turning length is 725 mm (29 in), against 760 mm (30 in) on the PUMA 2600 Y II and 1,245 mm (49 in) on the PUMA 2600 LYB II
Spindle bore, bar capacity and live-tool power are not given in DN's table

Best For

Heavy roughing of large-diameter steel and cast iron at low rpm Work held in a 12 in chuck, up to 725 mm (29 in) long Flanges and hubs with off-centre holes inside 105 mm (4 in) of Y travel First-operation turn-mill work where the second end is finished elsewhere

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the PUMA 2600 YB II compare with the PUMA 2600 Y II?

The PUMA 2600 YB II has a 12 in chuck, 26 kW (35 hp), 1,123 N·m (828 ft-lb) and a 2,800 rpm limit. The PUMA 2600 Y II has a 10 in chuck, 22 kW (29 hp), 599 N·m (442 ft-lb) and 4,000 rpm. Turning diameter is 376 mm (15 in) on both, and the travels match. Choose by the cut: torque for large diameters and tough stock, rpm for small diameters.

02 What is the largest part the PUMA 2600 YB II can turn?

Maximum turning diameter is 376 mm (15 in) and maximum turning length is 725 mm (29 in). The axes travel 260 mm (10 in) in X, 105 mm (4 in) in Y and 830 mm (33 in) in Z. For longer work with the same 12 in chuck and spindle, the PUMA 2600 LYB II lists 1,245 mm (49 in) of turning length on 1,350 mm (53 in) of Z travel.

03 Does the PUMA 2600 YB II have a sub-spindle?

No sub-spindle is listed in this model's column of DN's table. The PUMA 2600 SYB II is the short-bed 12 in version that has one, rated 4,500 rpm and 7.5 kW (10 hp), and it weighs 6,650 kg (14,661 lb) against 6,200 kg (13,669 lb) for the PUMA 2600 YB II.

04 What milling can the PUMA 2600 YB II do?

The 12-station turret carries live tools that run to 5,000 rpm, and the Y axis travels 105 mm (4 in). That covers flats, keyways, slots and holes off the spindle centreline. DN's table gives no power or torque figure for the live tools, so ask for those before planning heavy milling.

05 How much room and floor loading should I plan for?

DN lists 3,873 × 1,945 × 2,163 mm (152 × 77 × 85 in) as length, width and height, and a machine weight of 6,200 kg (13,669 lb). The figures are for the machine itself; allow extra room for whatever chip conveyor, bar feeder or loader is ordered with it, since the table does not include them.
