Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA TT 1800 SY is a twin-spindle, twin-turret turning center with a Y-axis, built around an 8-inch chuck and an envelope of 230 mm (9 in) in both turning diameter and turning length. Its two spindles carry the same rating, 5,000 rpm and 22 kW (29 hp), and the main spindle is listed at 208 N·m (153 ft-lb). A part can therefore be finished on its second side at the same speed and power as the first, instead of being handed to a weaker pick-off spindle.

DN Solutions describes the left and right spindles and the upper and lower turrets as able to operate independently, so two tools can cut at once or each spindle can run its own operation. The table lists 12 turret stations and driven tools to 6,000 rpm. Y travel is 100 mm (4 in), enough for off-centre cross holes, flats and keyways on parts of this diameter. X travel is 165 mm and Z travel is 700 mm (28 in). The long Z reflects a machine with a spindle at each end and does not mean long parts: maximum turning length stays at 230 mm (9 in).

Rapids differ by axis, 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) in Z and 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X. The PUMA TT 2100 SYY, the next model up on the same 8-inch chuck, raises the X rapid to 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) and the spindle to 25 kW (34 hp) and 223 N·m (164 ft-lb), but its driven tools stop at 5,000 rpm. That leaves this model with the faster milling tools and the lower weight, 8,800 kg (19,401 lb) against 9,500 kg (20,944 lb) for the PUMA TT 2100 SYY.

The series description also lists roller LM guideways and an independent parts catcher and unloader for each spindle. On the floor the machine measures 3,905 × 2,250 mm (154 × 89 in) and it stands 2,080 mm (82 in) high.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Main and sub-spindle are both rated 5,000 rpm and 22 kW (29 hp), so second-side work is not held back by a smaller spindle
Driven tools run to 6,000 rpm, against 5,000 rpm on the PUMA TT 2100 SYY
100 mm (4 in) of Y travel for off-centre milling and drilling on a twin-spindle machine
Two spindles and two turrets that DN describes as operating independently, with 12 turret stations listed
40 m/min (1,575 ipm) Z rapid over 700 mm (28 in) of Z travel
Independent parts catcher and unloader for each spindle in DN's series description

Limitations

X rapid is 20 m/min (787 ipm), half the Z rapid and below the 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) of the PUMA TT 2100 SYY
Maximum turning diameter and length are both 230 mm (9 in), so this is a machine for short chucked or bar-fed parts and not for shafts
The table gives no bar capacity for this model; DN quotes only a series range of 42 mm to 81 mm
DN names the PUMA TT1300 and 2100SYY as the models with a Y-axis on both turrets; this model's table shows a single 100 mm (4 in) Y travel

Best For

Parts up to 230 mm (9 in) in diameter finished on both sides in one cycle Turned parts with off-centre features inside 100 mm (4 in) of Y travel Milling and drilling with small tools at up to 6,000 rpm Volume work where two turrets cutting at once shorten the cycle

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the PUMA TT 1800 SY differ from the PUMA TT 2100 SYY?

Both use an 8-inch chuck and turn 230 mm (9 in) in diameter and length. The PUMA TT 2100 SYY has 25 kW (34 hp) and 223 N·m (164 ft-lb) at the spindle and a 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) X rapid. The PUMA TT 1800 SY has 22 kW (29 hp), 208 N·m (153 ft-lb) and a 20 m/min (787 ipm) X rapid, but its driven tools reach 6,000 rpm against 5,000 rpm on the PUMA TT 2100 SYY, and it weighs 8,800 kg (19,401 lb) against 9,500 kg (20,944 lb) for the PUMA TT 2100 SYY.

02 Is the sub-spindle as capable as the main spindle?

On the listed figures, yes. The sub-spindle is rated 5,000 rpm and 22 kW (29 hp), the same speed and power as the main spindle. The table gives torque, 208 N·m (153 ft-lb), for the main spindle only, so ask DN Solutions for the sub-spindle torque if second-side roughing is heavy.

03 What size of part fits the PUMA TT 1800 SY?

Maximum turning diameter is 230 mm (9 in) and maximum turning length is also 230 mm (9 in), held in an 8-inch chuck. X travel is 165 mm, Y travel 100 mm (4 in) and Z travel 700 mm (28 in). The Z figure is carriage travel on a machine with a left and a right spindle; it is not the length of part the machine will turn.

04 What bar capacity does the PUMA TT 1800 SY have?

The table for this model does not state one. DN Solutions says the PUMA TT series comes in sizes from 42 mm to 81 mm of bar capacity, which is a range across the series and not a figure for this machine. Confirm the bar capacity of this model with DN before planning bar-fed work.

05 Does the PUMA TT 1800 SY have a Y-axis on both turrets?

The table lists one Y travel, 100 mm (4 in). In its series description DN Solutions names the PUMA TT1300 and 2100SYY as the models with a Y-axis on both the upper and the lower turret, and does not name this one. Ask DN which turret carries the Y-axis before quoting work that needs Y at both spindles.

06 How much floor space and weight should be planned for?

The machine is 3,905 mm long and 2,250 mm wide (154 × 89 in), 2,080 mm (82 in) high, and weighs 8,800 kg (19,401 lb). Those are the machine's own figures. A bar feeder, the unloader's discharge side and chip handling add to the space needed, so lay the cell out with those in mind.
