Overview

The DN Solutions Puma V8300 is a two-axis vertical turning center for parts up to 830 mm (33 in) in diameter and 780 mm (31 in) in turning length. It has a 15 in chuck, a 12-station turret, and a 37 kW (50 hp) spindle that delivers 2,592 N·m (1,912 ft-lb) and runs to 2,000 rpm. No live tool speed is listed for this version.

Vertical layout is the reason to look at it. A heavy casting or forging is set down on the chuck face, where gravity seats it instead of pulling it off centre. DN says the bed was redesigned to dispose of high volumes of chips, which matters when roughing cast iron drums or steel rings at full depth. The floor area is 2,005 × 2,715 mm (79 × 107 in). Height is 3,636 mm (143 in), and weight is 9,400 kg (20,723 lb).

Turning length here equals the Z travel, 780 mm (31 in). The PUMA V 8300 M, the driven-tool version, has the same Z travel but a 690 mm (27 in) turning length, along with live tools at 4,000 rpm and a weight of 9,500 kg (20,944 lb). So the plain model is the one for taller parts and for work that is finished by turning alone. X travel is 495 mm (19 in), and rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm).

For scale, the horizontal PUMA 700 II turns a similar 900 mm (35 in) diameter but is a different class of machine: 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb), 1,500 rpm and 16,500 kg (36,376 lb). The vertical machine is the lighter, faster-spinning choice for discs and drums, with about a third of that torque.

DN offers chucks up to 32 inch and an automatic tool changer as options for the series. Its series text also quotes a Ø930 mm maximum turning diameter and a 45 kW, 4,443 N·m spindle motor, which are higher than this model's column; the figures in the first paragraph are the ones that apply here.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

780 mm (31 in) of turning length, using the full Z travel
830 mm (33 in) maximum turning diameter with 495 mm (19 in) of X travel
2,000 rpm spindle with 37 kW (50 hp) and 2,592 N·m (1,912 ft-lb)
DN describes a bed redesigned for disposal of high chip volumes and a servo-driven 12-station turret
Weighs 9,400 kg (20,723 lb) on a floor area of 2,005 × 2,715 mm (79 × 107 in)

Limitations

No live tool speed is listed; the PUMA V 8300 M is the version with 4,000 rpm live tools
The 15 in chuck is small against an 830 mm (33 in) turning diameter; chucks up to 32 inch are optional
Listed at 37 kW (50 hp) and 2,592 N·m (1,912 ft-lb), below the 45 kW and 4,443 N·m DN quotes for the series
3,636 mm (143 in) high, which rules out low bays

Best For

Brake drums, discs and rings turned up to 830 mm (33 in) in diameter Heavy castings loaded from above onto a vertical chuck Parts up to 780 mm (31 in) tall that need turning only High-volume roughing where chip disposal matters

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Does the Puma V8300 have live tooling?

No live tool speed appears in its column. The turret has 12 stations for turning tools. The PUMA V 8300 M is the driven-tool model, with live tools at 4,000 rpm, a 690 mm (27 in) turning length and a weight of 9,500 kg (20,944 lb).

02 How large a part fits on the Puma V8300?

Maximum turning diameter is 830 mm (33 in) and maximum turning length is 780 mm (31 in). X travel is 495 mm (19 in) and Z travel is 780 mm (31 in). The standard chuck is 15 in, and DN lists chucks up to 32 inch as a series option. The table gives no maximum table load, so ask for it when the part is heavy.

03 What is the spindle rating?

37 kW (50 hp) and 2,592 N·m (1,912 ft-lb), with a top speed of 2,000 rpm. DN's series description mentions a spindle motor of 45 kW and 4,443 N·m, which is not what this model's column shows, so confirm the rating on the quotation.

04 Why choose it over the PUMA V 8300 M?

For turning length and simplicity. The Puma V8300 turns 780 mm (31 in); the PUMA V 8300 M turns 690 mm (27 in) and adds 4,000 rpm live tools. If the parts are finished by turning and boring, the driven turret adds nothing and costs length.

05 What options does DN list?

For the series, DN lists a maximum chuck size of 32 inch as an option and an automatic tool changer as an option. It also says the operation panel height can be adjusted and that fixed type pendants are available. None of these is confirmed as standard on the Puma V8300, so each should be itemised when ordering.
