Struggling to find a turning center that can handle large, heavy workpieces with precision and power? The Puma 1000 is designed to tackle that challenge, offering unmatched performance for machining oversized parts in industries like oil and gas, aerospace, and shipbuilding.
With its high-torque spindle and robust construction, this turning center ensures both accuracy and efficiency in even the most demanding operations. Want to know how the Puma 1000 can transform your machining processes? Keep reading to discover its game-changing capabilities.
Built for the Biggest Challenges
The Puma 1000 turning center is designed to handle large, heavy parts with ease, thanks to its impressive machining capabilities. With a maximum turning diameter of Ø1000 mm (39.4 inches) and a maximum turning length of 2040 mm (80.3 inches), it’s perfect for jobs that require machining oversized components like flanges, long shafts, and large steel rollers.
This machine's massive capacity allows it to tackle large workpieces that other turning centers simply cannot handle. The spindle bore of Ø560 mm (22.0 inches) is another standout feature, allowing the machine to accommodate long parts that extend beyond the distance between centers.
Precision and Stability with Every Cut
Heavy-duty machining often comes with the challenge of maintaining precision while dealing with large parts and powerful cuts. The Puma 1000 excels in this area with its 45° slant bed made from Meehanite cast iron and box guideways. This combination of design elements ensures structural stability and minimizes deformation, even during the most intense operations.
This level of precision makes the Puma 1000 a trusted choice for industries like aerospace, where maintaining tight tolerances is critical for safety and performance.
High-Torque Spindle for Powerful Machining
The heart of the Puma 1000 is its powerful spindle. With a spindle motor power of 75 kW (100.6 HP) and a maximum spindle torque of 12,040 N·m (8,885.5 ft-lbs), this machine is built to handle the heaviest and toughest materials. The two-step gearbox allows for smooth transitions between high-torque, low-speed cutting and high-speed operations, making it versatile for a wide range of applications.
Advanced Turret Design for Optimized Workflow
The Puma 1000 features a servo-driven turret that enhances both stability and productivity. With 10 tool stations (or 12 for the Puma 1000M), the turret allows for quick and accurate tool changes, reducing downtime between operations. The turret’s thickness and improved stability make it ideal for heavy-duty cutting, especially for long parts that require steady, reliable support.
Tailstock and Automation for Efficiency
Machining long parts requires both precision and stability. The Puma 1000 includes a programmable tailstock with a quill diameter of Ø180 mm (7.1 inches), providing the structural support necessary for machining long shafts and other extended workpieces. This level of support ensures that accuracy is maintained throughout the machining process, even for the longest parts.
In addition to the tailstock, the Puma 1000 offers a range of automation options, including twin chucking and a long boring bar option. These features help reduce setup times, allowing operators to maintain consistent productivity while minimizing human error.
A Control System That Streamlines Operations
The Puma 1000 is equipped with the DN Solutions Fanuc i Plus CNC system, providing a user-friendly interface for operators. The 15-inch color touchscreen and EZ-Guide i conversational programming make setup and operation simpler than ever. Whether it’s a basic job or a complex multi-step process, operators can easily program and adjust machining parameters to suit their needs.
The CNC system’s USB memory input/output and Ethernet connectivity ensure seamless data transfer and program management, making it easier for manufacturers to keep production running smoothly. In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environments, having a control system that simplifies operations can be the key to maximizing productivity.
Get Your Manufacturing Process To The Next Level
The Puma 1000 isn’t just another turning center—it’s a high-performance solution designed for the most demanding machining tasks. Its combination of power, precision, and automation makes it a must-have for industries where large, complex parts are the norm.
Whether you're handling large-diameter parts or machining long components that require precision and strength, this machine is built to exceed expectations.
