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 1012F is a ram-type vertical lathe with 1,425 mm (56 in) of X travel, 700 mm (28 in) of Z travel and a 600 rpm spindle rated 45 kW (60 hp) and 12,354 N·m (9,112 ft-lb). It sits at the small end of the PUMA VTR series, in a 26,000 kg (57,320 lb) machine.

One capacity figure needs care. The table for this model has a single row, 1,250 mm (49 in), under maximum turning length, and no turning diameter. Z travel is only 700 mm (28 in), and the PUMA VTR 1012 FC, which has the same travels, lists 1,250 mm (49 in) as its turning diameter and 695 mm (27 in) as its turning length. DN's series description also starts the range at a Ø1250 mm turning diameter. Have DN confirm both dimensions in writing before sizing a job to this machine.

What separates the two models is equipment, not envelope. DN lists CAPTO automatic tool change, a fully enclosed splash guard with an automatic roof and a wheel magazine for up to 60 tools for the FC models only. The PUMA VTR 1012F does without them and is the more compact machine for it: 4,970 × 3,147 × 4,768 mm (196 × 124 × 188 in) as length, width and height, where the PUMA VTR 1012 FC needs 5,545 × 3,987 mm (218 × 157 in) of floor at the same height.

Tooling follows the series pattern. The ram indexes a quad tool holder, giving 4 tools without a tool change, and DN quotes 8,000 kg of tool clamping force and a servo-driven ATC magazine. Rapids are 12 m/min (472 ipm) in X and 10 m/min (394 ipm) in Z. Stepping up a size, the PUMA VTR 1216 F offers 1,600 mm (63 in) of turning diameter and 20,557 N·m (15,162 ft-lb), but its spindle stops at 400 rpm.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

600 rpm spindle with 12,354 N·m (9,112 ft-lb); the larger PUMA VTR 1216 F is limited to 400 rpm
Compact for the series at 4,970 × 3,147 mm (196 × 124 in) of length and width
1,425 mm (56 in) of X travel with a 12 m/min (472 ipm) X rapid
Ram tool index system gives 4 tools directly from the ram, with 8,000 kg of tool clamping force
Box-way construction and a thermally symmetrical spindle with a high-capacity cooler, as DN describes the series

Limitations

Z travel is 700 mm (28 in); the PUMA VTR 1216 has 1,200 mm (47 in)
The table gives no turning-diameter row, and its 1,250 mm (49 in) turning-length figure should be confirmed with DN
The CAPTO tool change, enclosed splash guard and 60-tool wheel magazine are listed for the PUMA VTR 1012 FC, not for this model
No live-tool speed is listed
Height of 4,768 mm (188 in) and weight of 26,000 kg (57,320 lb) need a tall bay and a rated floor

Best For

Discs, rings and flanges that suit 700 mm (28 in) of Z travel Turning-only work that does not need the FC models' enclosure and tool magazine Smaller-diameter features on large parts, helped by the 600 rpm top speed Shops with limited floor area: 4,970 × 3,147 mm (196 × 124 in)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the maximum part size on the PUMA VTR 1012F?

The table shows 1,250 mm (49 in) as maximum turning length and gives no turning diameter, with 1,425 mm (56 in) of X travel and 700 mm (28 in) of Z travel. The PUMA VTR 1012 FC on the same travels lists 1,250 mm (49 in) as turning diameter and 695 mm (27 in) as turning length. Ask DN to state both dimensions for this model.

02 Should I buy the PUMA VTR 1012F or the PUMA VTR 1012 FC?

Spindle torque, speed, travels and weight are the same. The PUMA VTR 1012 FC is the one DN lists with CAPTO automatic tool change, a fully enclosed splash guard with an automatic roof and a wheel magazine for up to 60 tools, and its power row reads 45/37 kW (60/50 hp). The PUMA VTR 1012F lists 45 kW (60 hp) and takes less floor: 4,970 × 3,147 mm (196 × 124 in) against 5,545 × 3,987 mm (218 × 157 in) for the PUMA VTR 1012 FC.

03 How fast and how strong is the spindle?

600 rpm maximum, 45 kW (60 hp) and 12,354 N·m (9,112 ft-lb). Larger sizes in the series trade speed for torque: the PUMA VTR 1216 F lists 400 rpm and 20,557 N·m (15,162 ft-lb) at the same 45 kW (60 hp).

04 How does tool changing work on this machine?

DN describes a ram tool index system for the series: a quad tool holder on the ram lets 4 tools be used directly, without going to the tool changer. Tool clamping force is given as 8,000 kg. A servo-driven ATC magazine is also described, in sizes from 12 to 34 across the series; confirm the size supplied with this model.

05 How much does the PUMA VTR 1012F weigh?

26,000 kg (57,320 lb). Listed dimensions are 4,970 × 3,147 × 4,768 mm (196 × 124 × 188 in) as length, width and height. The height matters for the building, since parts are lowered onto the machine from above.
