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 1620 M is a ram-type vertical turning center for work up to 2,000 mm (79 in) in diameter and 1,800 mm (71 in) in turning length, with a live tool speed of 3,000 rpm listed next to the turning spindle. That live tool row is what separates it from the PUMA VTR 1620, which shares every turning figure but has no rotating-tool speed in DN's table.

The table spindle is built for torque. DN lists 45 kW (60 hp), 24,668 N·m (18,194 ft-lb) and a maximum of 300 rpm, so the machine is aimed at heavy cuts on large rings, housings and flanges. Small bores and facing close to the centre are a weaker point, because 300 rpm gives little surface speed there. A 70 kW spindle is listed as an option for the PUMA VTR 1620 series.

X travel is 2,220 mm (87 in), more than the full turning diameter, and Z travel is 1,200 mm (47 in). Because the Z stroke is shorter than the 1,800 mm (71 in) turning length, ask DN how the ram reaches both the top and the bottom of a tall part in one setup. Rapids are 12 m/min (472 ipm) in X and 10 m/min (394 ipm) in Z. For the series, DN describes a quad-tool-holder Ram Tool Index System that lets 4 tools work directly from the ram without a trip to the tool changer, 8,000 kg of tool clamping force, and a servo-driven ATC magazine in sizes from 12 to 34. The table does not say which magazine this model carries, and it gives no power or torque for the live tools.

Plan the building around it. The machine weighs 40,000 kg (88,185 lb), occupies 6,500 × 4,757 mm (256 × 187 in) of floor and stands 6,345 mm (250 in) high, so the foundation, the crane hook height and the door clearance all need checking before an order is placed.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Live tool speed of 3,000 rpm, so drilled and milled features can be finished in the same chucking as the turning
24,668 N·m (18,194 ft-lb) of spindle torque from a 45 kW (60 hp) drive for roughing at large diameters
2,000 mm (79 in) maximum turning diameter with 2,220 mm (87 in) of X travel, enough for the ram to cross the whole face
The Ram Tool Index System puts 4 tools on the ram itself, which saves a tool change for the tools used most
A 70 kW spindle and an automatic chuck changer are listed as options for the series

Limitations

The spindle tops out at 300 rpm, which limits cutting speed on small diameters and on facing cuts near the centre
DN's table gives the live tools a speed only; with no power or torque listed, milling capacity has to be confirmed with DN
Z travel is 1,200 mm (47 in) against a turning length of 1,800 mm (71 in)
At 40,000 kg (88,185 lb) and 6,345 mm (250 in) high it needs a prepared foundation and a tall bay
The table states no maximum workpiece weight and no chuck or table diameter

Best For

Large rings and flanges up to 2,000 mm (79 in) in diameter Turned parts that also need bolt holes or milled flats, using the 3,000 rpm live tools Heavy roughing at up to 24,668 N·m (18,194 ft-lb) of spindle torque Tall housings within the 1,800 mm (71 in) turning length

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the PUMA VTR 1620 M and the PUMA VTR 1620?

DN's table gives the PUMA VTR 1620 M a live tool speed of 3,000 rpm, and the PUMA VTR 1620 has no live tool row. The M is also listed at 40,000 kg (88,185 lb), against 39,000 kg (85,980 lb) for the PUMA VTR 1620. Turning diameter, turning length, travels, rapids, spindle speed, power and torque are the same on both.

02 How large a part can the PUMA VTR 1620 M turn?

Up to 2,000 mm (79 in) in diameter and 1,800 mm (71 in) in turning length. X travel is 2,220 mm (87 in) and Z travel is 1,200 mm (47 in). The table gives no maximum workpiece weight, so get the permitted table load from DN before quoting a heavy casting or forging.

03 What spindle does the PUMA VTR 1620 M have?

A 45 kW (60 hp) spindle with 24,668 N·m (18,194 ft-lb) of torque and a top speed of 300 rpm. DN lists a 70 kW spindle as an option for the PUMA VTR 1620 series. The next size up, the PUMA VTR 2025 M, is listed at 75 kW (101 hp), 46,720 N·m (34,459 ft-lb) and 200 rpm.

04 How are tools changed on the ram?

For the series DN describes a Ram Tool Index System built on a quad tool holder, which lets 4 tools be used directly from the ram without going to the automatic tool changer. Tool clamping force is given as 8,000 kg. The servo-driven ATC magazine is offered in sizes from 12 to 34 across the series, and the table does not state the size fitted to this model.

05 How much space does the PUMA VTR 1620 M need?

The listed dimensions are 6,500 × 4,757 × 6,345 mm (256 × 187 × 250 in) as length, width and height, and the machine weighs 40,000 kg (88,185 lb). Height is the figure to check first, against the crane hook and the building door.
