Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA VTR 1620 is a ram-type vertical lathe for parts up to 2,000 mm (79 in) in diameter and 1,800 mm (71 in) in turning length. Its spindle delivers 24,668 N·m (18,194 ft-lb) from 45 kW (60 hp) at a maximum of 300 rpm, and the machine weighs 39,000 kg (85,980 lb).

It occupies the middle of the series. One size down, the PUMA VTR 1216 F turns 1,600 mm (63 in) with 20,557 N·m (15,162 ft-lb) and 400 rpm at 27,500 kg (60,627 lb). One size up, the PUMA VTR 2025 turns 2,500 mm (98 in), has a 75 kW (101 hp) spindle with 46,720 N·m (34,459 ft-lb) and 200 rpm, and weighs 55,000 kg (121,254 lb). The PUMA VTR 1620 keeps the 45 kW (60 hp) rating of the smaller size and runs slower, so torque rises while power does not. What grows is the diameter at which a heavy cut can be held, not the rate of metal removal.

That makes power the row worth a second look. DN lists a 70 kW spindle as an option for this size. For forgings and castings with a lot of stock to remove, raise it at the order stage and ask for the torque and speed that go with it, since the table gives neither.

X travel is 2,220 mm (87 in) and Z travel is 1,200 mm (47 in), with rapids of 12 m/min (472 ipm) in X and 10 m/min (394 ipm) in Z. Turning length is listed at 1,800 mm (71 in), more than the Z travel, so ask DN how the full height is reached and what tool reach remains at the top of the range. No live-tool speed is listed; the PUMA VTR 1620 M has 3,000 rpm driven tools and weighs 40,000 kg (88,185 lb). Installation needs 6,500 × 4,757 × 6,345 mm (256 × 187 × 250 in) of length, width and height.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

2,000 mm (79 in) turning diameter and 1,800 mm (71 in) turning length
24,668 N·m (18,194 ft-lb) of spindle torque, against 20,557 N·m (15,162 ft-lb) on the PUMA VTR 1216
2,220 mm (87 in) of X travel
70 kW spindle listed as an option for this size
Ram tool index system: 4 tools on a quad holder, 8,000 kg clamping force, plus a servo-driven ATC magazine
Automatic chuck changer offered as a series option

Limitations

300 rpm maximum spindle speed
Standard power is 45 kW (60 hp), the same as the smaller PUMA VTR 1216; the PUMA VTR 2025 has 75 kW (101 hp)
No live tooling in the table; that is the PUMA VTR 1620 M with 3,000 rpm driven tools
6,345 mm (250 in) high and 39,000 kg (85,980 lb): building, crane and foundation all need checking
Z travel of 1,200 mm (47 in) is less than the 1,800 mm (71 in) turning length, so reach at full height should be confirmed

Best For

Large rings, housings and casings up to 2,000 mm (79 in) in diameter Tall parts up to 1,800 mm (71 in) of turning length Heavy low-speed turning with 24,668 N·m (18,194 ft-lb) Wide parts that need the full 2,220 mm (87 in) of X travel

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the capacity of the PUMA VTR 1620?

Maximum turning diameter is 2,000 mm (79 in) and maximum turning length is 1,800 mm (71 in). X travel is 2,220 mm (87 in) and Z travel is 1,200 mm (47 in). Table diameter and table load are not in DN's table for this model, so request them for heavy workpieces.

02 How does it compare with the PUMA VTR 2025?

The PUMA VTR 2025 is a larger and stronger machine: 2,500 mm (98 in) of turning diameter, 2,000 mm (79 in) of turning length, a 75 kW (101 hp) spindle with 46,720 N·m (34,459 ft-lb) and 200 rpm, at 55,000 kg (121,254 lb). The PUMA VTR 1620 turns 2,000 mm (79 in), has 45 kW (60 hp), 24,668 N·m (18,194 ft-lb) and 300 rpm, and weighs 39,000 kg (85,980 lb).

03 Is 45 kW enough for a 2,000 mm vertical lathe?

It depends on stock removal. The spindle turns 45 kW (60 hp) into 24,668 N·m (18,194 ft-lb), so it can hold a heavy cut at large diameter, but the volume of metal removed per minute is tied to power. DN lists a 70 kW spindle as an option for the PUMA VTR 1216 and PUMA VTR 1620 series for work that needs more.

04 Does the PUMA VTR 1620 have driven tools?

No live-tool speed is listed for it. The PUMA VTR 1620 M shows 3,000 rpm live tools with the same travels, spindle and turning capacity, and weighs 40,000 kg (88,185 lb) against 39,000 kg (85,980 lb).

05 What does installation involve?

The listed dimensions are 6,500 × 4,757 × 6,345 mm (256 × 187 × 250 in) as length, width and height, and machine weight is 39,000 kg (85,980 lb). A machine of this mass is normally set on a prepared foundation, and the crane must clear 6,345 mm (250 in) with the part and lifting gear. Confirm foundation drawings with DN.
