Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 3100 LY is a long-bed Y-axis lathe with one spindle: a 12 in chuck, 1,285 mm (51 in) of maximum turning length, 130 mm (5 in) of Y travel and 5,000 rpm live tools on a 12-station turret. Maximum turning diameter is 420 mm (17 in).

Its spindle is the one from the two-axis PUMA 3100. Both list 26 kW (35 hp), 1,123 N·m (828 ft-lb) and 2,800 rpm. What changes is everything around it. The PUMA 3100 has 830 mm (33 in) of Z travel, a 10-station turret and weighs 5,850 kg (12,897 lb). This machine has 1,350 mm (53 in) of Z travel, the Y-axis and the live turret, and weighs 8,000 kg (17,637 lb). The trade is in diameter: the PUMA 3100 turns 525 mm (21 in).

That combination points at one kind of part. Think of a heavy shaft, an axle or a hydraulic cylinder body, roughed hard at low speed and then given keyways, flats, cross holes or a milled pocket somewhere along its length. The 1,123 N·m (828 ft-lb) handles the roughing. The Y-axis handles the features that do not sit on the centreline, which a turret with X and Z alone cannot reach squarely.

Two things are not in the table. There is no sub-spindle row, so the second end of the part is a second clamping. And the live tools have a speed but no power or torque figure, which decides whether they are for drilling and light milling or for real stock removal. The PUMA 3100 LSY is listed with 30 kW (40 hp) and 3,000 rpm on the same travels, at 8,500 kg (18,739 lb).

X travel is 293 mm (12 in), rapid traverse 30 m/min (1,181 ipm). Outline: 4,530 × 2,067 × 2,315 mm (178 × 81 × 91 in), length by width by height.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

130 mm (5 in) of Y travel for off-centre milling and drilling along a long part
1,123 N·m (828 ft-lb) of torque from the 26 kW (35 hp) spindle
1,285 mm (51 in) of turning length, against 790 mm (31 in) on the two-axis PUMA 3100
12-station turret with 5,000 rpm live tools
8,000 kg (17,637 lb) of machine mass behind the cut

Limitations

No sub-spindle row in the table, so back-end work needs a second clamping
Maximum turning diameter is 420 mm (17 in); the PUMA 3100 turns 525 mm (21 in)
Spindle is limited to 2,800 rpm and 26 kW (35 hp), below the 3,000 rpm and 30 kW (40 hp) of the PUMA 3100 LSY
Live-tool power and torque are not listed
A 4,530 mm (178 in) long, 2,315 mm (91 in) high machine needs generous bay space

Best For

Axles and heavy shafts with keyways, flats or cross holes Long parts up to 1,285 mm (51 in) machined from one end Low-speed roughing in steel followed by Y-axis milling Shops without a need for sub-spindle transfer

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the Y-axis add on the PUMA 3100 LY?

130 mm (5 in) of travel perpendicular to X, which lets the 5,000 rpm live tools cut flats, offset holes and pockets that a two-axis turret cannot position for. DN's series text links the Y-axis to machining complex shapes. The table does not say how the stroke is split either side of centre.

02 Does the PUMA 3100 LY have a sub-spindle?

Its table has no sub-spindle row. The listed equipment is one spindle with 26 kW (35 hp), 1,123 N·m (828 ft-lb) and 2,800 rpm, a 12-station turret, live tools at 5,000 rpm and the Y-axis.

03 Is the PUMA 3100 LY spindle the same as on the PUMA 3100?

The listed ratings are identical: 26 kW (35 hp), 1,123 N·m (828 ft-lb), 2,800 rpm and a 12 in chuck. The PUMA 3100 is the two-axis machine with a 525 mm (21 in) turning diameter, 790 mm (31 in) turning length and 10 stations. The PUMA 3100 LY turns 420 mm (17 in) by 1,285 mm (51 in) and adds Y travel and live tools.

04 How long and how wide a part will it take?

Up to 1,285 mm (51 in) in turning length and 420 mm (17 in) in turning diameter. Z travel is 1,350 mm (53 in) and X travel is 293 mm (12 in). Support for long work, such as a tailstock or steady rest, is not described in the table and should be specified with the order.

05 How heavy is the PUMA 3100 LY?

8,000 kg (17,637 lb). The outline is 4,530 mm (178 in) long, 2,067 mm (81 in) wide and 2,315 mm (91 in) high. For comparison, the shorter PUMA 3100 SY weighs 7,000 kg (15,432 lb) with 830 mm (33 in) of Z travel.
