Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA TW 2100 GL is the gantry-loader version of DN's forward-facing twin-spindle chucker, and the loader shapes most of its figures. DN quotes a handling time of 5.7 s for the loader to enter, change the work and exit. The listed part envelope is 130 mm (5 in) in diameter and 80 mm in length, and the machine stands 2,921 mm (115 in) high.

Start with the envelope, because it is far smaller than the hardware suggests. The chucks are 8 in and the PUMA TW 2100, which shares the 135 mm X and 160 mm Z strokes, is listed at 240 mm in diameter and 128 mm (5 in) in length. On the GL the figures drop to 130 mm (5 in) and 80 mm. DN's table does not explain the reduction. The likely cause is what the loader can grip and carry through the door, so treat the smaller pair as the limit for automated running and send DN the part drawing and weight before assuming a larger piece will go through.

A 5.7 s exchange matters most on short cycles. If a part is cut in well under a minute, the time the spindle waits for the loader is a real share of each cycle, which is the point of DN's claim about minimal idle spindle time. DN also lists loader guidance software built into the machine for operating and maintaining the gantry.

The cutting side is plain two-axis turning. The table gives 4,500 rpm, 15/11 kW (20/15 hp) and 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) at the spindle, an 8-station turret that DN describes as servo-driven, and 24 m/min (945 ipm) rapids. There is no rotary tool row.

Plan the building around the height. Length and width are 2,030 mm (80 in) and 2,098 mm (83 in), and weight is 5,200 kg (11,464 lb) against 4,650 kg (10,251 lb) for the PUMA TW 2100. A 2,921 mm (115 in) machine needs to be checked against door openings, crane hook height and anything hanging from the roof.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Gantry loader with a quoted handling time of 5.7 s for enter, change work and exit
Loader guidance software is built in for gantry operation and machine maintenance
Two forward-facing spindles with 8 in chucks on a 2,030 mm (80 in) by 2,098 mm (83 in) floor area
Servo-driven 8-station turret and 24 m/min (945 ipm) rapid traverse
Same 4,500 rpm and 127 N·m (94 ft-lb) spindle figures as the PUMA TW 2100

Limitations

Listed envelope is 130 mm (5 in) by 80 mm, against 240 mm by 128 mm (5 in) on the PUMA TW 2100
Overall height is 2,921 mm (115 in), which rules out low bays
Weighs 5,200 kg (11,464 lb), more than the 4,650 kg (10,251 lb) PUMA TW 2100
Turning only: 8 stations and no rotary tool or Y-axis row in the table

Best For

Short-cycle chucked parts where a 5.7 s load time counts Automated runs of parts within 130 mm (5 in) diameter and 80 mm length Unattended two-operation turning of small discs and rings Buildings with clearance for a 2,921 mm (115 in) machine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How fast is the gantry loader on the PUMA TW 2100 GL?

DN quotes 5.7 s as the gantry loader handling time for the PUMA TW 2100 GL, measured as enter, change work and exit. That is the time the loader spends at the spindle. It does not include travel to and from a part stocker, which the table does not describe, so ask DN for the full load cycle for the stocker being quoted.

02 Why is the PUMA TW 2100 GL listed with a smaller part size than the PUMA TW 2100?

DN's table gives 130 mm (5 in) of turning diameter and 80 mm of length for the GL, and 240 mm and 128 mm (5 in) for the PUMA TW 2100, with 8 in chucks and the same X and Z travel on both. The table does not give a reason. A loader's grippers and its path into the machine normally set such a limit, so confirm the largest loader-fed part with DN.

03 How tall is the PUMA TW 2100 GL?

The listed height is 2,921 mm (115 in), on a base of 2,030 mm (80 in) in length and 2,098 mm (83 in) in width. Machine weight is 5,200 kg (11,464 lb). Check the height against the delivery route as well as the final position, since the gantry stands above the machine.

04 Can the PUMA TW 2100 GL mill or drill off-centre?

The table for this model lists no rotary tool speed and no Y travel, only an 8-station turret with 135 mm of X and 160 mm of Z travel. As listed it is a turning machine. Parts that need cross holes or flats would need a different model or a second operation elsewhere.

05 What software comes with the loader on the PUMA TW 2100 GL?

DN lists built-in loader guidance software intended to make gantry loader operation and machine maintenance easier. DN's table says nothing further about its functions or about the control, so ask for a demonstration of teaching a new part before relying on quick changeovers.
