How much does the DN Solutions PUMA VTR 1012 FC cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA VTR 1012 FC is a ram-type vertical turning center for parts up to 1,250 mm (49 in) in diameter and 695 mm (27 in) in turning length, and one of the two FC models in the series that DN equips with automatic tool change on CAPTO tooling and a fully enclosed splash guard.
Those FC features are what set it apart from the PUMA VTR 1012F. DN lists CAPTO tooling with vertical and horizontal indexing, a splash guard that closes completely and has a roof that opens and closes automatically, and a wheel-type magazine that can mount up to 60 tools, which DN limits to the FC models. High-pressure TTC at 150 bar can be applied too. The enclosure shows in the floor plan: 5,545 × 3,987 × 4,768 mm (218 × 157 × 188 in) as length, width and height, where the PUMA VTR 1012F is 4,970 × 3,147 × 4,768 mm (196 × 124 × 188 in).
The spindle carries a pair of power ratings, 45/37 kW (60/50 hp), with 12,354 N·m (9,112 ft-lb) of torque and a 600 rpm top speed. X travel is 1,425 mm (56 in) and Z travel is 700 mm (28 in), with rapids of 12 m/min (472 ipm) in X and 10 m/min (394 ipm) in Z. At 26,000 kg (57,320 lb) it weighs the same as the PUMA VTR 1012F.
Across the series DN describes a box-way structure, a thermally symmetrical spindle with a high-capacity cooler, and a ram that indexes a quad tool holder so that 4 tools can be used directly without a tool change. Tool clamping force is given as 8,000 kg. An automatic chuck changer is an option. The 70 kW spindle option in DN's series description is listed for the PUMA VTR 1216 and PUMA VTR 1620 sizes, not for this one.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Automatic tool change on CAPTO tooling with vertical and horizontal indexing
- Wheel-type magazine for up to 60 tools, which DN lists for the FC models only
- Fully enclosed splash guard with an automatically opening roof, and 150 bar high-pressure TTC can be applied
- 12,354 N·m (9,112 ft-lb) of spindle torque with a 600 rpm top speed, against 400 rpm on the PUMA VTR 1216 F
- Ram tool index system that presents 4 tools directly from the ram
- 1,250 mm (49 in) turning diameter on 1,425 mm (56 in) of X travel
Limitations
- Turning length is 695 mm (27 in) on 700 mm (28 in) of Z travel, so tall parts are out
- Larger floor plan than the PUMA VTR 1012F: 5,545 × 3,987 mm (218 × 157 in) against 4,970 × 3,147 mm (196 × 124 in)
- No live-tool speed is listed in this model's column
- The automatic chuck changer is an option, and the 60-tool wheel magazine and 150 bar TTC are described as applicable, not as base equipment
- Stands 4,768 mm (188 in) high and weighs 26,000 kg (57,320 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
DN lists four things for the FC models: automatic tool change with CAPTO tooling, vertical and horizontal indexing of the CAPTO tool, a fully enclosed splash guard with an automatic roof, and a wheel magazine for up to 60 tools. The tables differ in the power row, 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) here and 45 kW (60 hp) on the PUMA VTR 1012F, and in the footprint. Travels, torque, speed and the 26,000 kg (57,320 lb) weight match.
02
DN gives several figures for the series. The ram indexes a quad tool holder, so 4 tools are available directly from the ram. The servo-driven ATC magazine ranges from 12 to 34 across the series. For the FC models DN adds a wheel-type magazine that can mount up to 60 tools. Which magazine is on a given quotation should be confirmed.
03
Maximum turning diameter is 1,250 mm (49 in) and maximum turning length is 695 mm (27 in). X travel is 1,425 mm (56 in) and Z travel is 700 mm (28 in). The table does not state a table diameter or load, so get those from DN for heavy parts.
04
The table gives 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) as a pair of ratings, 12,354 N·m (9,112 ft-lb) of torque and a maximum of 600 rpm. DN describes the spindle as thermally symmetrical with a high-capacity cooler. The 70 kW option in DN's series description applies to the PUMA VTR 1216 and PUMA VTR 1620 sizes.
05
Listed dimensions are 5,545 × 3,987 × 4,768 mm (218 × 157 × 188 in) as length, width and height, and the weight is 26,000 kg (57,320 lb). The splash guard roof opens automatically, so allow hook height above 4,768 mm (188 in) for loading from overhead.
