DN Solutions PUMA VTR 1216 M

The DN Solutions PUMA VTR 1216 M is the full-travel, live-tooling-equipped variant of the VTR 1216 family — essentially everything you'd want in a mid-size vertical turning center. Full 1,600 mm (63 in) turning diameter, the deepest Z-travel in the 1216 lineup at 1,250 mm (49 in), and 3,000 RPM live tooling for drilling, tapping, and milling without leaving the VTL. This is the machine shops buy when they need maximum capability and aren't willing to compromise on work envelope.

The spindle delivers 45 kW (60 hp) with 20,557 Nm (15,162 ft-lb) of torque at 400 RPM. That torque rating handles the heaviest facing and boring cuts you'll throw at it on castings, forgings, and weldments. X-axis travel spans 1,700 mm (67 in), and the Z-axis reaches 1,200 mm (47 in) — giving you the depth for tall workpieces and deep boring operations that the F variants can't reach.

The 3,000 RPM live tooling spindle opens up a world of secondary operations: bolt circle drilling, tapping, counterboring, keyway cutting, and light milling. Combined with the FANUC control's interpolation capability, you can program polar coordinate operations and produce milled features referenced to turned datums in a single clamping. That's concentricity you simply can't achieve when moving parts between machines.

At 30,000 kg (66,139 lb), the VTR 1216 M is the heaviest in the 1216 family, and it shows in the 5,651 mm machine height. The extra mass comes from the live tooling mechanism and the full-length ram assembly. The footprint stays at 5,590 mm by 4,066 mm. For heavy industry shops that need to turn, drill, tap, and mill large parts in one setup, the VTR 1216 M represents the top of the 1216 lineup.
