Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA VTR 1216 FM is a ram-type vertical turning center for 1,600 mm (63 in) diameter work with a 950 mm (37 in) turning length, listed with a 45/37 kW (60/50 hp) spindle, 20,557 N·m (15,162 ft-lb) of torque and a 400 rpm maximum.

Read against its neighbours, the table places it between two machines. Its envelope is that of the PUMA VTR 1216 F: 1,700 mm (67 in) of X, 900 mm (35 in) of Z and the same 5,590 × 4,066 × 5,065 mm (220 × 160 × 199 in) of length, width and height. Its weight of 28,000 kg (61,729 lb) is above the 27,500 kg (60,627 lb) of the PUMA VTR 1216 F, and its power row is written as a pair, 45/37 kW (60/50 hp), where the PUMA VTR 1216 F shows the single figure 45 kW (60 hp).

What the column does not contain is a live-tool speed. The PUMA VTR 1216 M lists 3,000 rpm driven tools, on a longer 1,200 mm (47 in) Z travel and at 30,000 kg (66,139 lb). A buyer who needs drilling and milling on the short-stroke machine should ask DN for the rotary-tool speed, power and torque of the PUMA VTR 1216 FM in writing, since none of them can be read from the table.

The remaining figures are common to the size. Rapids are 12 m/min (472 ipm) in X and 10 m/min (394 ipm) in Z. DN's series description covers a rigid box-way build, a spindle with a high-capacity cooler, a quad tool holder on the ram that offers 4 tools without a tool change, 8,000 kg of tool clamping force and an optional 70 kW spindle for this size.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,600 mm (63 in) turning diameter with 20,557 N·m (15,162 ft-lb) of spindle torque
Short-stroke build: 900 mm (35 in) of Z and 5,065 mm (199 in) of height, the same as the PUMA VTR 1216 F
1,700 mm (67 in) of X travel at 12 m/min (472 ipm)
Ram tool index system with 4 tools on a quad holder and 8,000 kg of clamping force
Thermally symmetrical spindle with a high-capacity cooler, per DN's series description

Limitations

No live-tool speed is listed, where the PUMA VTR 1216 M shows 3,000 rpm
Turning length of 950 mm (37 in) is shorter than the 1,250 mm (49 in) of the PUMA VTR 1216 M
The spindle is limited to 400 rpm, which holds surface speed down on small bores
28,000 kg (61,729 lb), heavier than the PUMA VTR 1216 F at 27,500 kg (60,627 lb) with the same envelope

Best For

Large flanges, rings and discs up to 1,600 mm (63 in) in diameter Parts within 950 mm (37 in) of turning length Low-speed, high-torque cuts in large-diameter steel and castings Sites where machine height must stay at 5,065 mm (199 in)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Does the PUMA VTR 1216 FM have live tooling?

DN's table for this model lists no live-tool speed, so driven tooling cannot be confirmed from the published figures. The PUMA VTR 1216 M does list one, 3,000 rpm. If rotary tools matter to you, have DN state what the PUMA VTR 1216 FM is supplied with before comparing the two.

02 What does 45/37 kW mean in the spindle power row?

DN prints two ratings for this spindle, 45/37 kW (60/50 hp), and the table does not label which duty each belongs to. Torque is 20,557 N·m (15,162 ft-lb) and top speed is 400 rpm. The PUMA VTR 1216 F shows a single 45 kW (60 hp) figure with the same torque and speed. Ask DN for the duty ratings if your roughing cuts run for long periods.

03 How does it compare with the PUMA VTR 1216 M?

The PUMA VTR 1216 M is the taller machine: 1,200 mm (47 in) of Z travel, 1,250 mm (49 in) of turning length and 30,000 kg (66,139 lb), with a 3,000 rpm live-tool speed listed. The PUMA VTR 1216 FM has 900 mm (35 in) of Z, 950 mm (37 in) of turning length and weighs 28,000 kg (61,729 lb). Both turn 1,600 mm (63 in) in diameter.

04 What are the dimensions and weight?

5,590 × 4,066 × 5,065 mm (220 × 160 × 199 in) as length, width and height, and 28,000 kg (61,729 lb). Add crane clearance above the 5,065 mm (199 in) height for loading, and check the floor for the machine together with the heaviest part and chuck.
