Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA V 8300 is a large-capacity vertical turning center built for heavy, large-diameter workpieces that the smaller V 400 series can't accommodate. With a 15-inch chuck, 830 mm max turning diameter, and 37 kW of spindle power, this machine handles the big disc-shaped parts — large flanges, turbine components, gear blanks, and heavy castings — that typically require vertical boring mills.

The spindle delivers 37 kW (50 hp) at 2,000 RPM with an impressive 2,592 Nm (1,912 ft-lbs) of torque through the 15-inch chuck. That torque figure is critical for heavy roughing on large-diameter steel, cast iron, and stainless parts. Max turning diameter of 830 mm (32.7 in) and turning height of 780 mm (30.7 in) define a generous work envelope for heavy parts.

Axis travels span 495 mm on X and 780 mm on Z, with 20 m/min rapid traverse on both axes. The 12-station turret provides ample tooling for complex multi-operation parts. At 9,400 kg (20,723 lb) and a footprint of 2,005 mm x 2,715 mm, the V 8300 is a substantial machine but far more compact than a vertical boring mill handling comparable part sizes.

The V 8300 fills an important gap in many shops' capability. Parts in the 500-830 mm diameter range are often too large for standard lathes but too small to justify tying up a VBM. The PUMA V 8300 handles these parts efficiently with the vertical orientation's advantages — gravity-assisted loading, natural chip evacuation, and automation-friendly access. For production of large disc parts, it's a more productive and cost-effective solution than a VBM. Specs sourced from DN Solutions published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

830 mm max turning diameter handles large disc parts that most horizontal lathes and smaller VTCs can't accommodate
37 kW spindle with 2,592 Nm torque delivers heavy roughing power on large-diameter steel and cast iron workpieces
Vertical orientation provides gravity-assisted loading and chip evacuation advantages on heavy parts
Far more compact than a vertical boring mill handling comparable part sizes — 2,005 mm x 2,715 mm footprint
15-inch chuck with 12-station turret provides secure gripping and ample tooling for complex large parts
9,400 kg mass provides rigidity and vibration damping for stable cuts on heavy workpieces

Limitations

2,000 RPM max spindle speed limits finishing operations on smaller-diameter features where surface speed matters
780 mm turning height restricts the machine to disc and short cylindrical parts — not for shaft work
3,636 mm machine height requires adequate overhead clearance and crane access for loading heavy parts
9,400 kg weight requires a properly prepared foundation with adequate load-bearing capacity
Price range of $250K-$380K is a significant investment for shops with occasional large-diameter work

Best For

Large flange and ring manufacturers producing parts in the 500-830 mm diameter range in production volumes Power generation shops turning turbine discs, generator components, and large coupling flanges Gear manufacturers facing and boring large gear blanks before hobbing or shaping operations Valve manufacturers turning large gate valve bodies, butterfly valve discs, and check valve components Heavy equipment manufacturers producing large wheels, sprockets, sheaves, and structural ring components Shops looking to free up vertical boring mills for truly large work by moving mid-size parts to the V 8300

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the PUMA V 8300 compare to a vertical boring mill?

The V 8300 is more compact, less expensive, and more productive for parts in the 500-830 mm range. A VBM handles larger parts (often 1-3+ meters) and typically offers more axis configurations. If your parts fit within 830 mm diameter, the V 8300 is a better choice than tying up a VBM. For parts above 830 mm, you still need the boring mill.

02 How much does a DN Solutions PUMA V 8300 cost?

New PUMA V 8300 machines typically price between $250,000 and $380,000 depending on configuration. Options including hydraulic chuck systems, chip conveyors rated for heavy chips, and automation interfaces affect final pricing. The V 8300 represents a significant investment but is much less than a comparable VBM.

03 Can the V 8300 be automated with a robot?

Yes, though the part weight and size at this scale often require heavier-duty robots or gantry systems. The vertical orientation provides good top-access for loading, and DN Solutions offers automation integration support. Parts up to the machine's weight capacity can be handled with appropriate automation equipment.

04 How does the V 8300 compare to the V 400 series?

The V 8300 is a step up in every dimension: 830 mm vs 496 mm turning diameter, 37 kW vs 26 kW power, 2,592 Nm vs 863 Nm torque, 15-inch vs 12-inch chuck. It's roughly twice the machine in capability and price. Choose the V 400 for parts under 496 mm diameter, and the V 8300 for anything larger.
