Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 700 M II is a heavy turning center with live tools: a 24 in chuck, 900 mm (35 in) of maximum turning diameter, 1,600 mm (63 in) of maximum turning length and driven tools that run to 3,000 rpm in a 12-station turret. The main spindle delivers 55 kW (74 hp) and 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb) and runs to 1,500 rpm.

In DN Solutions' table the live tool speed is the single row that sets it apart from the PUMA 700 II. Turning diameter, turning length, travels, rapids, spindle power and torque are the same, and so is the 16,500 kg (36,376 lb) weight. The milling turret therefore costs nothing in turning capacity on paper, and the choice between the two comes down to whether the parts have holes and slots.

They usually do. A machine with a 900 mm (35 in) by 1,600 mm (63 in) envelope turns flanges, hubs, couplings and wheel blanks, and such parts carry bolt circles, tapped holes and keyways. Doing that work here saves a second setup on a mill or boring machine large enough to hold the part. Bear in mind that 3,000 rpm is a low speed for small drills and taps, and that the table states no power or torque for the driven tools.

There is no Y travel in this model's column. Features on the centreline plane are covered; flats, offset pockets and true-width keyways point to the PUMA 700 LY II, which has 200 mm (8 in) of Y travel but a 750 mm (30 in) turning diameter and a longer bed.

X travel is 470 mm (19 in) at 12 m/min (472 ipm) and Z travel is 1,650 mm (65 in) at 16 m/min (630 ipm). The machine is 5,756 mm (227 in) long, 3,160 mm (124 in) wide and 2,800 mm (110 in) high.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Live tools to 3,000 rpm with no loss of turning envelope against the PUMA 700 II
900 mm (35 in) maximum turning diameter and 470 mm (19 in) of X travel
55 kW (74 hp) and 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb) at the main spindle
Z rapid of 16 m/min (630 ipm); the longer PUMA 700 L II lists 10 m/min (394 ipm)
12-station turret and a 24 in chuck at up to 1,500 rpm

Limitations

No Y travel is listed, so milling is limited to the centreline plane
Live tool speed of 3,000 rpm is low for small-diameter drills and end mills
Driven-tool power and torque are not stated in the table
Turning length is 1,600 mm (63 in); longer parts need the PUMA 700 L II at 3,200 mm (126 in), which has no live tools listed

Best For

Flanges and hubs up to 900 mm (35 in) with bolt circles drilled in the turning setup Couplings and wheel blanks that need keyways or cross holes on the centreline Short, heavy shafts within 1,600 mm (63 in) with drilled and tapped ends Heavy turning with 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb) on parts that also need light milling

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is anything given up by choosing the PUMA 700 M II over the PUMA 700 II?

Not in the listed figures. Both columns show a 24 in chuck, 900 mm (35 in) by 1,600 mm (63 in) of turning capacity, 470 mm (19 in) and 1,650 mm (65 in) of travel, 55 kW (74 hp), 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb), 1,500 rpm, 12 stations and 16,500 kg (36,376 lb). The PUMA 700 M II adds a live tool speed of 3,000 rpm.

02 Does the PUMA 700 M II have a Y-axis?

No Y travel is listed for it. The 200 mm Y axis stroke in DN Solutions' series description applies to the Y models, such as the PUMA 700 LY II with 200 mm (8 in) of Y travel. On the PUMA 700 M II, plan for drilling, tapping and slotting on the centreline plane.

03 What kind of milling suits a 3,000 rpm live tool?

Larger tools. Bolt-circle drilling, tapping of medium and large threads, and slotting with end mills of reasonable diameter all run at speeds a 3,000 rpm drive reaches. Small drills and small end mills will be below their best cutting speed. How heavy a cut the driven tools take cannot be read from the table, which gives no power figure for them.

04 How heavy is the PUMA 700 M II and how much space does it need?

It weighs 16,500 kg (36,376 lb) and measures 5,756 mm (227 in) in length, 3,160 mm (124 in) in width and 2,800 mm (110 in) in height. Those are the same figures DN Solutions lists for the PUMA 700 II.
