Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA TT 1800 MS is a twin-spindle, twin-turret turning center with two equal spindles of 22 kW (29 hp) and 5,000 rpm, an 8 in chuck and rotary tools that run to 6,000 rpm. Its table has no Y travel row. That one absence is the difference between it and the PUMA TT 1800 SY, which lists 100 mm (4 in) of Y travel and otherwise the same figures down to the 8,800 kg (19,401 lb) weight.
Without a Y stroke, a rotary tool stays on the plane through the spindle axis. Cross holes, axial holes on a pitch circle and features generated by turning the spindle against the tool are within reach. A flat milled to a controlled width with a square corner, an offset keyway or a hole whose axis misses the centreline call for the SY. Sort the part family by that test first; if nothing in it needs an off-centre move, the MS covers the work with fewer axes to maintain.
The turning capacity is 230 mm (9 in) in diameter and 230 mm (9 in) in length, with main spindle torque of 208 N·m (153 ft-lb). Because the sub-spindle is listed at the same 22 kW (29 hp) and 5,000 rpm, the back of the part can be machined as hard as the front. DN states that the left and right spindles and the upper and lower turrets operate independently, and the table shows 12 turret stations.
The two axes are not equally quick. Z rapid is 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) over 700 mm (28 in) of travel, the rate DN advertises for the series. X rapid is 20 m/min (787 ipm) over 165 mm, and the PUMA TT 2100 SYY is listed at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on the same X stroke. On short X moves the effect on cycle time is small, but it is there.
Floor requirements are 3,905 × 2,250 × 2,080 mm (154 × 89 × 82 in) as length, width and height. DN lists roller LM guideways for the series, along with independent parts catcher and unloader systems for the left and right spindles.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Main and sub-spindle are both rated 22 kW (29 hp) and 5,000 rpm, so either end of the part can take the heavy cut
- 208 N·m (153 ft-lb) of main spindle torque behind an 8 in chuck
- Rotary tools to 6,000 rpm, where the PUMA TT 2100 SYY lists 5,000 rpm
- 700 mm (28 in) of Z travel at a 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) rapid
- Upper and lower turrets operate independently of each other and of the two spindles
Limitations
- No Y travel is listed; the PUMA TT 1800 SY has 100 mm (4 in)
- X rapid is 20 m/min (787 ipm), against 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on the PUMA TT 2100 SYY
- Turning length stops at 230 mm (9 in) despite 700 mm (28 in) of Z travel
- DN gives no torque figure for the sub-spindle and no power figure for the rotary tools
- Weighs 8,800 kg (19,401 lb), the same as the PUMA TT 1800 SY that has the Y axis

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No Y travel is listed for it. The table gives X travel of 165 mm and Z travel of 700 mm (28 in) only. DN's headline for the series mentions a Y-axis turning center, but that describes the range as a whole. The PUMA TT 1800 SY is the version listed with 100 mm (4 in) of Y travel.
02
It lists rotary tools at 6,000 rpm and 12 turret stations. With only X and Z strokes, the tool works on the plane through the spindle centreline, so radial holes, axial holes on a pitch circle and similar features are possible. Features that need the tool offset from the centreline are not supported by the listed axes. DN's table gives no rotary tool power, so ask for it.
03
DN lists the sub-spindle at 22 kW (29 hp) and 5,000 rpm, the same power and speed as the main spindle. Torque is printed for the main spindle only, at 208 N·m (153 ft-lb). An equal rating means the process does not have to favour the first operation.
04
Both have an 8 in chuck, a 230 mm (9 in) turning diameter and length, and 165 mm of X travel. The PUMA TT 2100 SYY lists 25 kW (34 hp), 223 N·m (164 ft-lb), 100 mm (4 in) of Y travel, a 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) X rapid and 9,500 kg (20,944 lb). The PUMA TT 1800 MS lists 22 kW (29 hp), 208 N·m (153 ft-lb), no Y travel, a 20 m/min (787 ipm) X rapid and 8,800 kg (19,401 lb).
05
The machine is 3,905 mm (154 in) long, 2,250 mm (89 in) wide and 2,080 mm (82 in) high, and weighs 8,800 kg (19,401 lb). Add room at the ends for whatever feeds bar in and takes parts out. DN lists independent parts catcher and unloader systems for the left and right spindles across the series.
