How much does the DN Solutions PUMA 700 II cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA 700 II is a two-axis heavy turning center with a 24 in chuck, a 900 mm (35 in) maximum turning diameter and a 1,600 mm (63 in) maximum turning length. Its spindle is rated 55 kW (74 hp) and 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb), with a top speed of 1,500 rpm.
The proportions say what it is for. A turning diameter of 900 mm (35 in) against a length of 1,600 mm (63 in) describes wheels, hubs, flanges, rings, valve bodies and short, thick shafts, not long bar work. DN Solutions gives 900 mm as the largest turning diameter in the series, and this model has it. X travel is 470 mm (19 in), slightly more than half the turning diameter, so a facing cut can run to the centre of a full-size part.
Among its siblings it is the short one, and that has two effects in the table. Z rapid is 16 m/min (630 ipm), where the longer PUMA 700 L II and PUMA 700 XL II list 10 m/min (394 ipm). And the machine weighs 16,500 kg (36,376 lb), against 22,000 kg (48,502 lb) for the PUMA 700 L II. Spindle power, torque, speed and chuck are identical across the three, so a shop whose parts fit within 1,600 mm (63 in) of turning length gives up nothing by taking the shortest bed.
The turret has 12 stations and no live tool speed is listed. The PUMA 700 M II is the same machine in every listed row with live tools at 3,000 rpm added. For a larger chuck, the PUMA 800 II lists 32 in and 750 rpm on the same envelope. The PUMA 700 II is 5,756 mm (227 in) long, 3,160 mm (124 in) wide and 2,800 mm (110 in) high, and X rapid is 12 m/min (472 ipm).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 900 mm (35 in) maximum turning diameter, the largest DN Solutions quotes for the series
- 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb) of spindle torque with 55 kW (74 hp)
- Z rapid of 16 m/min (630 ipm), faster than the 10 m/min (394 ipm) of the PUMA 700 L II
- 1,500 rpm with a 24 in chuck; the PUMA 800 II with a 32 in chuck is limited to 750 rpm
- 470 mm (19 in) of X travel covers a full-diameter facing cut
Limitations
- Turning length stops at 1,600 mm (63 in); the PUMA 700 L II turns 3,200 mm (126 in)
- No live tool speed is listed, so drilling off the axis and milling need the PUMA 700 M II or a second machine
- X rapid of 12 m/min (472 ipm) is modest
- At 3,160 mm (124 in) wide and 16,500 kg (36,376 lb) it still needs a prepared foundation

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to 900 mm (35 in) in turning diameter and 1,600 mm (63 in) in turning length, held in a 24 in chuck. X travel is 470 mm (19 in) and Z travel 1,650 mm (65 in). The table does not list a maximum workpiece weight, so ask for it if the parts are solid and near full size.
02
One row. The PUMA 700 M II lists a live tool speed of 3,000 rpm and the PUMA 700 II lists none. Chuck, turning diameter and length, travels, rapids, 55 kW (74 hp), 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb), 12 stations and the 16,500 kg (36,376 lb) weight are the same in both columns.
03
When parts exceed 1,600 mm (63 in). The PUMA 700 L II turns 3,200 mm (126 in) and weighs 22,000 kg (48,502 lb). The PUMA 700 XL II turns 5,050 mm (199 in) and weighs 26,000 kg (57,320 lb). Both have the same spindle and a slower Z rapid of 10 m/min (394 ipm), against 16 m/min (630 ipm) on the PUMA 700 II.
04
They share the 900 mm (35 in) by 1,600 mm (63 in) envelope, 55 kW (74 hp), 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb) and 16,500 kg (36,376 lb). The PUMA 800 II has a 32 in chuck and 750 rpm. The PUMA 700 II has a 24 in chuck and 1,500 rpm, which makes it the better fit when the same machine also has to finish smaller diameters.
05
DN Solutions lists the machine at 5,756 mm (227 in) long, 3,160 mm (124 in) wide and 2,800 mm (110 in) high, with a weight of 16,500 kg (36,376 lb). Parts of this size are normally loaded by crane, so the position of the machine under the crane matters as much as the floor area.
