Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA TW 2100 is a twin-spindle, twin-turret chucking lathe whose two 8 in chucks both face forward. Strokes are short, 135 mm in X and 160 mm in Z, and the listed work envelope is a 240 mm maximum turning diameter by 128 mm (5 in) of turning length. This is a machine for discs, flanges, hubs and rings, not for shafts.

The layout decides how it is used. With the chucks side by side, a part does not pass from one spindle straight into the other as it would between opposed spindles. Each spindle works with its own turret, so the machine can run the same operation twice over, or first and second operations next to each other with the part turned round in between. DN's table gives one set of spindle and turret figures, not separate left and right columns: 4,500 rpm, 15 / 11 kW (20/15 hp), 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) and an 8-station turret.

Eight stations and no rotary tool row define the work. A typical chucking sequence of rough and finish turning, facing, boring and a groove or thread fits. A long tool list or any drilled cross feature does not. DN describes the turrets as servo-driven, and rapid traverse is 24 m/min (945 ipm), which is ample when no move is longer than 160 mm.

DN's series text is largely about the gantry loader, and that belongs to a separate model. The PUMA TW 2100 GL is listed at 5,200 kg (11,464 lb) against 4,650 kg (10,251 lb) here, and with a smaller envelope of 130 mm (5 in) in diameter and 80 mm in length. The PUMA TW 2100 is therefore the choice when parts approach 240 mm, or when loading is by hand or by equipment the shop already has.

The machine is close to square on the floor: 2,030 × 2,098 × 2,278 mm (80 × 83 × 90 in) in length, width and height.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Two forward-facing spindles with 8 in chucks in a machine 2,030 mm (80 in) long
240 mm maximum turning diameter, against 130 mm (5 in) on the PUMA TW 2100 GL
127 N·m (94 ft-lb) of spindle torque at up to 4,500 rpm
Servo-driven turrets, which DN credits with faster indexing
At 4,650 kg (10,251 lb) it is lighter than the 5,200 kg (11,464 lb) PUMA TW 2100 GL

Limitations

Turning length is 128 mm (5 in) and Z travel 160 mm, so only short chucked parts fit
The turret has 8 stations, which limits the tool list for each operation
No rotary tool speed or Y travel is listed, so drilling off the axis and milling are outside the table
The gantry loader figures in DN's series text are quoted for the GL version, not for this model

Best For

Flanges, hubs and rings up to 240 mm in diameter Two-operation chucking work split across side-by-side spindles The same turning job run on two spindles at once Short tool lists that fit an 8-station turret

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size of part does the PUMA TW 2100 take?

DN lists a maximum turning diameter of 240 mm and a maximum turning length of 128 mm (5 in), held in an 8 in chuck. X travel is 135 mm and Z travel is 160 mm. Those figures suit short chucked parts. Bar work and shafts are outside what the table describes.

02 How do the two spindles of the PUMA TW 2100 work together?

DN describes the machine as a twin-turret, twin-spindle horizontal turning center with forward-facing chucks. The chucks sit next to each other and each is served by a turret. The two sides can cut the same part in parallel, or one side can cut the first operation and the other the second. Moving the part between them is a loading task, not a spindle-to-spindle handover.

03 Does the PUMA TW 2100 include a gantry loader?

The table for this model has no loader row. DN's series text describes a high speed gantry loader with built-in loader guidance software and quotes its handling time, 5.7 s, for the GL version. The PUMA TW 2100 GL is listed as a separate model weighing 5,200 kg (11,464 lb). Ask DN what loading options exist for the PUMA TW 2100 itself.

04 What are the spindle ratings of the PUMA TW 2100?

Maximum speed is 4,500 rpm, power is printed as 15 / 11 kW (20/15 hp) and torque as 127 N·m (94 ft-lb). DN prints one set of figures and does not split them into left and right spindle, so confirm with DN that they apply to each spindle.

05 How large and heavy is the PUMA TW 2100?

It measures 2,030 × 2,098 × 2,278 mm (80 × 83 × 90 in) as length, width and height and weighs 4,650 kg (10,251 lb). The width is slightly greater than the length, so the machine takes a nearly square patch of floor, and the 2,278 mm (90 in) height should be checked against doorways on the way in.
