PUMA 1000B Turning Center: Ultimate Guide to High-Performance CNC Lathes for Heavy-Duty Machining from Ellison Technologies
In the demanding world of precision manufacturing, selecting a CNC turning center that excels in power, accuracy, and efficiency is essential for tackling heavy and interrupted cutting tasks. The PUMA 1000B, built by DN Solutions and available through Ellison Technologies, emerges as a premier high-performance turning center engineered for long-term reliability, exceptional surface finishes, and reduced non-cutting time. Ideal for industries like aerospace, oil and gas, or heavy machinery, this large bore lathe offers outstanding value with its durable construction and innovative features. In this in-depth guide, we'll explore the key specifications, features, and benefits of the PUMA 1000B, helping you determine if it’s the perfect addition to your operations. As a trusted distributor, Ellison Technologies provides expert support, customized solutions, and seamless integration for your machining needs.
Why the PUMA 1000B Stands Out as a High-Performance Turning Center from Ellison Technologies
The PUMA 1000B is designed for rigorous applications, featuring a powerful 75 kW (100 hp) high-torque spindle and a generous 560 mm (22.04") spindle bore, paired with rapid traverse rates that enhance productivity. Its blend of classic manufacturing techniques and advanced technology, including the FANUC 0i-Plus control with iHMi touch screen interface, ensures superior precision and ease of use. This CNC lathe excels in heavy stock removal, extended boring, and interrupted cuts, making it ideal for large-diameter workpieces up to 1,000 mm (39.37").
Key highlights include:
Ultra-Rigid Construction: A one-piece 45-degree torque-tube slant bed with solid box way design minimizes thermal deformation and vibration for stable, high-quality finishes.
Efficient Operations: 0.31-second servo turret indexing and Z-axis rapid traverse up to 16 m/min (630 ipm) reduce cycle times.
Enhanced Safety and Monitoring: Tool load monitoring, unexpected disturbance torque detection, and fully enclosed guarding prioritize operator safety and machine durability.
With a maximum turning length of 2,000 mm (78.74"), the PUMA 1000B handles oversized components with ease, while its ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue. Ellison Technologies’ expertise ensures you receive tailored support to optimize this machine's performance in your facility.
