Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA VTR 1216 F turns parts up to 1,600 mm (63 in) in diameter and 950 mm (37 in) in turning length, which makes it the short-stroke model of its size: 900 mm (35 in) of Z travel against 1,700 mm (67 in) of X. It is also the lightest of the PUMA VTR 1216 models, at 27,500 kg (60,627 lb), and stands 5,065 mm (199 in) high.

A short ram stroke is no handicap for the parts this proportion suits. Slewing rings, gear blanks, brake discs, large flanges and wheel-type parts are far wider than they are tall, and a shorter ram extension keeps the tool closer to its support when facing and grooving at full diameter. The spindle gives 20,557 N·m (15,162 ft-lb) from 45 kW (60 hp) and tops out at 400 rpm, figures shared across the PUMA VTR 1216 models.

Height is where it saves most. The PUMA VTR 1216, with 1,200 mm (47 in) of Z, stands 5,610 mm (221 in) and weighs 29,500 kg (65,036 lb). For a building with limited hook height the 5,065 mm (199 in) of the PUMA VTR 1216 F can decide the purchase. Length and width are the same for both at 5,590 × 4,066 mm (220 × 160 in).

The PUMA VTR 1216 FM matches this model's travels and capacity; its table differs in the power row, 45/37 kW (60/50 hp), and in weight, 28,000 kg (61,729 lb). From DN's series description come box ways, a ram tool index system with a quad tool holder for 4 tools, a servo-driven ATC magazine and an optional 70 kW spindle for this size. Rapids are 12 m/min (472 ipm) in X and 10 m/min (394 ipm) in Z.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,600 mm (63 in) turning diameter in a machine 5,065 mm (199 in) high
27,500 kg (60,627 lb), lighter than the PUMA VTR 1216 at 29,500 kg (65,036 lb)
20,557 N·m (15,162 ft-lb) of spindle torque from 45 kW (60 hp)
Short 900 mm (35 in) ram stroke suited to facing and grooving wide, flat parts
A 70 kW spindle is listed as an option for this size, and an automatic chuck changer as a series option

Limitations

Turning length is 950 mm (37 in); the PUMA VTR 1216 M lists 1,250 mm (49 in)
Spindle speed is limited to 400 rpm
No live-tool speed in the table
The enclosed splash guard, CAPTO tool change and 60-tool magazine are listed for the FC models, not this one

Best For

Slewing rings, gear blanks and flanges up to 1,600 mm (63 in) Wide, flat parts within 950 mm (37 in) of turning length Buildings with limited hook height, at 5,065 mm (199 in) of machine height Heavy facing cuts with 20,557 N·m (15,162 ft-lb) available

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size parts does the PUMA VTR 1216 F handle?

Up to 1,600 mm (63 in) in turning diameter and 950 mm (37 in) in turning length. X travel is 1,700 mm (67 in) and Z travel is 900 mm (35 in). Table diameter and maximum part weight are not in the table and should be requested from DN.

02 Why choose the PUMA VTR 1216 F over the PUMA VTR 1216?

For lower height and weight when the parts are short. The PUMA VTR 1216 F is 5,065 mm (199 in) high and 27,500 kg (60,627 lb) with 900 mm (35 in) of Z travel. The PUMA VTR 1216 is 5,610 mm (221 in) high and 29,500 kg (65,036 lb) with 1,200 mm (47 in) of Z. Spindle and X travel are identical, so nothing is lost on wide, flat work.

03 What is the difference between the PUMA VTR 1216 F and the PUMA VTR 1216 FM?

The tables show two differences. Spindle power reads 45 kW (60 hp) for the PUMA VTR 1216 F and 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) for the PUMA VTR 1216 FM, and weight is 27,500 kg (60,627 lb) against 28,000 kg (61,729 lb). Turning diameter, turning length, travels, speed, torque and listed dimensions are the same.

04 How fast is the spindle?

400 rpm maximum, with 45 kW (60 hp) and 20,557 N·m (15,162 ft-lb). On a 1,600 mm (63 in) part that speed is ample at the rim; it becomes the limit on small bores and hubs near the centre. The smaller PUMA VTR 1012F runs to 600 rpm with 12,354 N·m (9,112 ft-lb).

05 What tooling system does the series use?

DN describes a ram tool index system with a quad tool holder, so 4 tools can be used directly from the ram without the tool changer, and a tool clamping force of 8,000 kg. A servo-driven ATC magazine is part of the series description, with sizes from 12 to 34 across the series.
