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

With 3,200 mm (126 in) of turning length and driven tools, the DN Solutions PUMA 700 LM II sits in the middle of the PUMA 700 II bed lengths. It is a heavy horizontal turning center with a 24 in chuck and a 900 mm (35 in) maximum turning diameter, travelling 470 mm (19 in) in X and 3,235 mm (127 in) in Z. The turret has 12 stations and its live tools turn at up to 3,000 rpm.

Compare its column with the PUMA 700 L II and every turning row matches: chuck, diameter, length, travels, rapids, spindle and the 22,000 kg (48,502 lb) weight. The difference is the live tool speed row, which the PUMA 700 L II does not have. Choosing between the two is therefore a question about the parts. If the shafts leave the lathe needing a keyway, a drilled flange or a milled flat, the LM does that work in the same clamping; if they are purely turned, the driven turret adds nothing.

Against the short-bed PUMA 700 M II the trade runs the other way. That machine also has 3,000 rpm live tools, but the PUMA 700 M II turns 1,600 mm (63 in), moves Z at 16 m/min (630 ipm) and weighs 16,500 kg (36,376 lb). The LM doubles the turning length and takes a Z rapid of 10 m/min (394 ipm) with it. X rapid is 12 m/min (472 ipm).

The main spindle is rated 55 kW (74 hp) and 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb) and tops out at 1,500 rpm. Low speed and high torque fit large-diameter roughing in steel; small diameters on the same part will run below the surface speed that carbide prefers. DN lists the machine at 7,354 × 2,713.5 × 2,590 mm (290 × 107 × 102 in), length by width by height. The series description mentions a 200 mm Y-axis stroke and a spindle through hole of up to Ø375 mm, but neither figure is in this model's column, so both should be confirmed for the LM before an order.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Live tools at up to 3,000 rpm on a 12-station turret, the row that separates it from the PUMA 700 L II
3,200 mm (126 in) maximum turning length with 3,235 mm (127 in) of Z travel
Spindle rated 55 kW (74 hp) and 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb)
900 mm (35 in) maximum turning diameter on a 24 in chuck, with 1,500 rpm available

Limitations

Z rapid of 10 m/min (394 ipm) is slower than the 16 m/min (630 ipm) of the PUMA 700 M II
1,500 rpm top speed limits surface speed on small diameters
No Y travel in the model's table; the 200 mm Y-axis stroke is a series statement and needs confirming
At 22,000 kg (48,502 lb) and 7,354 mm (290 in) long, it needs a prepared foundation and a rigging plan

Best For

Shafts up to 3,200 mm (126 in) long that need drilled or milled features Large-diameter turning up to 900 mm (35 in) with high spindle torque Turning plus 3,000 rpm live-tool work in one clamping on heavy parts Parts that outgrow the 1,600 mm (63 in) turning length of the PUMA 700 M II

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the PUMA 700 LM II add over the PUMA 700 L II?

A live tool speed row: 3,000 rpm. Every other figure the two share is the same, including the 3,200 mm (126 in) turning length, 3,235 mm (127 in) Z travel, 55 kW (74 hp) spindle and 22,000 kg (48,502 lb) weight. The PUMA 700 L II is the turning-only choice at this bed length.

02 How big a part fits the PUMA 700 LM II?

Up to 900 mm (35 in) in turning diameter and 3,200 mm (126 in) in turning length, held in a 24 in chuck. X travel is 470 mm (19 in), a little more than half the turning diameter, and Z travel is 3,235 mm (127 in). The table does not state a maximum workpiece weight, so ask for it when the part is heavy.

03 Is the 1,500 rpm spindle fast enough?

For the diameters this machine is built around, yes: large work reaches its cutting speed at low rpm, and the spindle delivers 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb) and 55 kW (74 hp). On small journals or bores the 1,500 rpm limit will hold surface speed down. The live tools are separate and run to 3,000 rpm.

04 Does it have a Y-axis or a large spindle bore?

Neither is in this model's column. DN's series text mentions a 200 mm Y-axis stroke and a maximum spindle through hole of Ø375 mm for the PUMA 600/700/800 range, which are statements about the series, not about the LM. Treat both as items to confirm with DN for this model.

05 How much room does the PUMA 700 LM II take up?

The listed size is 7,354 × 2,713.5 × 2,590 mm (290 × 107 × 102 in), length by width by height, and the machine weighs 22,000 kg (48,502 lb). Allow room beyond that for loading long shafts and for access around the machine.
