Five metre Puma lathes from Mills CNC

The Puma 700XLM and Puma 700XLY lathes have been designed for high-accuracy and heavy-duty machining of large, heavy and long components up to 5 m in length, typically found and used in the oil/gas and power generation sectors. Both machines are able to support large chucks up to 32 in and have a bar working diameter 164 mm capacity. They will support a workpiece up to 8.9 tons between chuck and tailstock. The Puma lathes have 1,140 mm swing-over-bed and 1,000 mm swing-over-carriage capabilities, with turning diameter capacities of 900 mm for the Puma 700 XLM and 750 mm for the Puma 700XLY. The lathes are equipped with 45 kW, 1,200 rpm gearbox driven main spindles. The Puma 700XLM and XLY lathes have a 12 station, heavy-duty turret with a large curvic coupling diameter that accommodates high rigidity BMT 85P rotary toolholders with up to 32 mm diameter tool shank. An 11 kW, 3,00 rpm driven tooling capability exists on both machines Additional productivity and manufacturing flexibility is available with the Puma 700 XLY thanks to its Y-axis functionality (+/- 100 mm). This enables keyways in large shafts to be accurately contour-milled to size and also provides the capability to thread mill large holes in flange type parts. Fanuc F32iT control, and the incorporation of Manual Guide i and Doosan 'Easy Operation' software packages help ensure fast set-ups and programming, as well as improved monitoring of machining operations.
