Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA V400 is a compact vertical lathe for short, heavy chucking work: 496 mm of maximum turning diameter, 461 mm of turning length, a 12 in chuck and a 26 kW (35 hp) spindle with 863 N·m (637 ft-lb) of torque. DN presents it as its smallest heavy-duty vertical turning center.

DN lists the series in two variants, and it helps to know which figures belong to which. The PUMA V 400 P is given the same envelope as this page, 496 mm (20 in) by 461 mm (18 in), and no live tools. The PUMA V 400 M has 4,000 rpm live tools and a smaller envelope of 420 mm (17 in) by 400 mm (16 in). The table here matches the turning-only envelope and has no live-tool row, so anyone who needs drilling or milling on the part should work from the PUMA V 400 M's figures instead.

Axis strokes are 268 mm (11 in) in X and 488 mm (19 in) in Z, with rapids of 20 m/min (787 ipm) and 24 m/min (945 ipm). Spindle speed tops out at 3,000 rpm. The turret has 12 stations. In its series text DN describes a BMT powered turret with 12 tool positions as a choice, quoting 0.15 seconds in connection with indexing, and points to a spindle cartridge and rotating tool holder as the reason maintenance is short.

Installation deserves attention early. The 6,000 kg weight sits on a base 1,475 mm long and 2,075 mm wide, a concentrated load for a workshop floor, and the machine stands 3,210 mm high. Get the foundation drawing, and measure the lowest point on the route in.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Swings 496 mm in turning diameter on a base only 1,475 mm long and 2,075 mm wide
26 kW (35 hp) and 863 N·m (637 ft-lb) at the spindle
12-station turret, with a BMT powered turret described by DN as a choice for the series
Rapids of 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z

Limitations

No live-tool row in this table; the PUMA V 400 M is the variant listed with 4,000 rpm live tools
Stands 3,210 mm high, which limits where it can be placed
6,000 kg on a small base calls for a check of floor loading
Parts taller than 461 mm are outside the turning length

Best For

Disc and ring parts up to 496 mm in diameter Heavy chucking work where gravity helps seat the part Plants with limited floor area per machine Cast and forged blanks roughed with 863 N·m (637 ft-lb)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the PUMA V400 the same machine as the PUMA V 400 P?

The figures line up. The PUMA V 400 P is listed with a 496 mm (20 in) turning diameter, 461 mm (18 in) turning length, 26 kW (35 hp), 863 N·m (637 ft-lb), 3,000 rpm and 12 stations, the same as this page. The one visible difference is rapid traverse: the PUMA V 400 P shows a single 24 m/min (945 ipm) figure, where this table gives 20 m/min (787 ipm) for X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) for Z.

02 Can I get the PUMA V400 with driven tools?

DN lists live tools on the PUMA V 400 M, at 4,000 rpm, with a turning envelope of 420 mm (17 in) by 400 mm (16 in). The table on this page has no live-tool speed. DN's series text also mentions a BMT powered turret with 12 tool positions as a choice, so state the turret you need when asking for a quotation.

03 What floor and building requirements does the PUMA V400 have?

The listed outline is 1,475 × 2,075 × 3,210 mm as length, width and height, and the machine weighs 6,000 kg. Power, air and foundation details are not in DN's table. Because the machine is tall and its base is small, confirm floor loading and overhead clearance with the installation drawing.

04 What are the travels and spindle speed?

X travel is 268 mm (11 in) and Z travel is 488 mm (19 in). The spindle runs to 3,000 rpm with 26 kW (35 hp) and 863 N·m (637 ft-lb). Rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z.
