Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA TT 1800 SY takes everything the TT 1800 platform does well and adds Y-axis capability, making it one of the most versatile small-footprint multi-tasking lathes on the market. Twin turrets, twin spindles, live tooling, and now a 100 mm Y-axis stroke — that's a machine that can produce complex parts complete in a single setup that'd normally require a lathe and a mill.

Both the main spindle and sub-spindle deliver 22 kW (29 hp) with 208 Nm (153 ft-lb) of torque at 5,000 RPM. You've got matched power front and back, so secondary operations don't slow down the overall cycle. The 8-inch chuck handles workpieces up to 230 mm (9 in) turning diameter. Each of the two 12-station turrets carries live tooling at 6,000 RPM, and the Y-axis gives you the ability to mill flats, cut keyways, drill off-center holes, and produce hexagonal features without unclamping.

X-axis travel is 165 mm, Z-axis gives you 700 mm, and the Y-axis adds 100 mm (4 in) of cross-travel. Rapids hit 20 m/min on X and 40 m/min on Z. The FANUC multi-path control handles synchronized spindle transfer and simultaneous cutting across both turrets with full collision detection.

The machine weighs in at 8,800 kg (19,401 lb) with a footprint of 3,905 mm by 2,250 mm. For shops running high-volume production of complex small parts — think automotive transmission components, medical fittings, or hydraulic connectors — the TT 1800 SY eliminates secondary operations and the WIP inventory that goes with them. You're producing finished parts off one machine instead of shuttling blanks between three.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Y-axis adds 100 mm of cross-travel for off-center milling, keyways, flats, and hexagonal features without a second setup
Twin 12-station turrets with 6,000 RPM live tooling on both enable true done-in-one part production
Matched 22 kW spindle and sub-spindle power prevents back-working from becoming a cycle time bottleneck
FANUC multi-path control handles simultaneous cutting with full collision detection and synchronized spindle handoff
5,000 RPM on both spindles provides good surface finish on aluminum and adequate speed for steel and stainless
Eliminates WIP inventory and secondary operation handling by producing complete parts from bar stock

Limitations

Significantly higher acquisition cost than single-turret machines — you need the volume to justify the investment
100 mm Y-axis travel is adequate but limited for larger off-center features compared to dedicated mill-turn machines
Programming complexity increases substantially with twin turrets, Y-axis, and sub-spindle synchronization
230 mm max turning diameter restricts this to small-to-mid range parts
Maintenance costs are higher with two turrets, two spindles, and Y-axis drive components versus simpler machines

Best For

High-volume production of complex small parts requiring turning, milling, and back-working in one setup Automotive transmission and drivetrain component manufacturers Medical device shops producing connectors, fittings, and implant components with tight tolerances Hydraulic and pneumatic fitting manufacturers needing hex features and cross-drilled holes Shops consolidating multi-machine production cells into single done-in-one setups Contract manufacturers running families of complex turned-and-milled parts

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What can the Y-axis do that the MS variant can't?

The Y-axis gives you 100 mm of cross-travel perpendicular to the X-Z plane. This lets you mill flats, cut keyways, drill off-center holes, produce hex features, and engrave — all while the part stays chucked. The MS variant can only do on-center drilling and milling operations. For parts with any off-centerline features, the SY is the way to go.

02 How much does a PUMA TT 1800 SY cost?

New PUMA TT 1800 SY machines typically run $280,000-$380,000 depending on options. That's a $30-50K premium over the MS variant for the Y-axis capability. Used machines from the Doosan era can be found for $140,000-$220,000. The premium over single-turret machines is justified if your parts need the multi-tasking capability.

03 Can both turrets use the Y-axis simultaneously?

The Y-axis is typically associated with the upper turret. While both turrets can cut simultaneously, Y-axis operations are generally performed one turret at a time. The FANUC multi-path control manages the synchronization and ensures there are no collisions during complex simultaneous operations.

04 What bar feeder works with the PUMA TT 1800 SY?

The 8-inch chuck and spindle bore work with most standard bar feeders from LNS, IEMCA, and FMB. Magazine-style bar feeders are the most common choice for lights-out production. DN Solutions dealers can spec the right feeder for your bar stock diameter and production requirements.

05 How does cycle time compare to running two separate machines?

Shops typically see 30-50% cycle time reduction versus running separate first-op and second-op machines, depending on part complexity. The real savings come from eliminating load/unload time between operations, reducing WIP inventory, and improving concentricity since both ops happen in one clamping. Plus you need one operator instead of two.
