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

Frequently Asked Questions
01
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
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
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
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
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.
