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 800 LB II pairs the slowest spindle in its family, 500 rpm, with a 3,200 mm (126 in) turning length. Maximum turning diameter is 900 mm (35 in), and the chuck is listed as ORDER MADE: DN supplies it to the buyer's specification instead of quoting a standard size. It is a two-axis horizontal turning center with a 12-station turret.

Read next to the PUMA 800 L II, the column differs in exactly two places. The PUMA 800 L II is listed with a 32 in chuck and 750 rpm; the LB has the made-to-order chuck and 500 rpm. Travels of 470 mm (19 in) in X and 3,235 mm (127 in) in Z, the 55 kW (74 hp) and 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb) spindle rating, the rapids and the 22,000 kg (48,502 lb) weight are identical.

Why accept a third less speed for no extra listed torque? DN's table does not answer that. Its description of the series is about pipe: threading solutions and a spindle through hole of up to Ø375 mm. A made-to-order chuck and a low speed limit are consistent with a large-bore spindle for pipe and tube, but the bore of the LB is not in its column, so it has to be confirmed and not assumed.

If the bore is confirmed, long tubular work is where the figures point. Rapids are 12 m/min (472 ipm) in X and 10 m/min (394 ipm) in Z. The PUMA 800 B II is the same spindle speed and chuck arrangement on the 1,600 mm (63 in) bed, with a 16 m/min (630 ipm) Z rapid and 16,500 kg (36,376 lb). What 500 rpm rules out is efficient work on small diameters, where the cutting speed stays far below what the tooling can take.

The machine is listed at 7,354 × 2,713.5 × 2,590 mm (290 × 107 × 102 in), length by width by height. No live tool speed is given, and the table has no tailstock or steady rest rows.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

3,200 mm (126 in) turning length with a chuck built to the buyer's specification
8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb) and 55 kW (74 hp), the same rating as the 750 rpm PUMA 800 L II
900 mm (35 in) maximum turning diameter with 470 mm (19 in) of X travel
12-station turret for long turning, boring and threading sequences

Limitations

500 rpm is the lowest spindle speed here; the PUMA 800 L II runs to 750 rpm and the PUMA 700 L II to 1,500 rpm
Chuck size is not standard, which makes quotations hard to compare until the chuck is defined
Spindle bore is not listed for this model, although DN quotes up to Ø375 mm for the series
Z rapid of 10 m/min (394 ipm), below the 16 m/min (630 ipm) of the short-bed PUMA 800 B II
Turning only: the column has no live tool speed

Best For

Long, large-diameter work up to 900 mm (35 in) by 3,200 mm (126 in) Jobs where the chuck is chosen for one part family and ordered with the machine Low-speed, high-torque roughing at up to 500 rpm Threading on long parts, which DN names as an application of the series

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why is the chuck size listed as ORDER MADE?

Because DN does not assign a standard chuck to the PUMA 800 LB II. The chuck is specified with the order, so its diameter, through hole and jaws depend on what the buyer asks for. The PUMA 800 L II is the version of this bed with a fixed 32 in chuck.

02 How fast does the spindle run?

Up to 500 rpm, with 55 kW (74 hp) and 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb). The PUMA 800 L II reaches 750 rpm and the PUMA 700 L II reaches 1,500 rpm with the same listed power and torque, so the LB is the choice only when its chuck arrangement is what the work needs.

03 Can pipe pass through the spindle of the PUMA 800 LB II?

The model's column does not give a spindle bore. DN states a maximum spindle through hole of Ø375 mm for the PUMA 600/700/800 series and describes pipe threading solutions, but it does not tie that figure to the LB in the table. Get the bore for this model confirmed before planning through-spindle work.

04 How does it compare with the PUMA 800 B II?

The spindle speed and the made-to-order chuck are the same. The PUMA 800 B II turns 1,600 mm (63 in), has 1,650 mm (65 in) of Z travel, a 16 m/min (630 ipm) Z rapid and weighs 16,500 kg (36,376 lb). The LB turns 3,200 mm (126 in) on 3,235 mm (127 in) of Z travel, with a 10 m/min (394 ipm) Z rapid and 22,000 kg (48,502 lb).

05 What does the machine weigh and how big is it?

22,000 kg (48,502 lb), which is the machine alone. The listed size is 7,354 × 2,713.5 × 2,590 mm (290 × 107 × 102 in): 7,354 mm is the length, 2,713.5 mm the width and 2,590 mm the height.
