PUMA Series

Why the PUMA 1000MA Excels as a High-Performance Mill-Drill Turning Center from Ellison Technologies

The PUMA 1000MA is optimized for tough jobs, with a potent 75 kW (100 hp) high-torque spindle, a 236.5 mm (9.31") draw tube ID, and high-speed 500 rpm operations that maximize throughput. Merging time-tested construction with cutting-edge tech—like the FANUC 0i-Plus control featuring iHMi touch screen interface—it guarantees pinpoint precision and operator-friendly controls. This mill-drill CNC lathe shines in heavy stock removal, intricate milling, drilling, and rigid tapping, all while supporting large workpieces up to 1,000 mm (39.37") in diameter.

Standout elements include:

• Ultra-Rigid Build: One-piece 45-degree torque-tube slant bed with solid box ways and Fluoroplastic anti-friction surfaces combats vibration and thermal shift for flawless results.

• Streamlined Productivity: 0.31-second turret indexing and Z-axis rapid traverse at 16 m/min (630 ipm) slash non-cut times.

• Integrated Versatility: Rigid BMT-85 tooling enables milling and drilling on the main spindle and rotary tools, minimizing setups.

Boasting a maximum turning length of 2,040 mm (80.31") and Z-axis thrust up to 38,975 N (8,762 lb), the PUMA 1000MA tackles extended parts effortlessly, with programmable high/low chucking pressure for added flexibility. Ellison Technologies' deep knowledge in CNC systems means personalized guidance to unlock this machine's full potential in your environment.

Essential Features and Benefits for Versatile CNC Machining with Ellison Technologies

Robust Bed and Guideways

The Meehanite cast bed at a 45-degree slant resists distortion, complemented by wide guideways and Fluoroplastic coatings for enduring precision and dampened vibrations—essential for consistent tolerances in mill-drill operations.

Powerful Spindle and Headstock

With programmable chuck pressure and a hydraulic actuator (SHL-39024 with 240 mm through hole), it supports secure holding for dynamic cuts, while the isolated 2-speed gearbox delivers torque from low speeds.

Programmable Tailstock and Automatic Tool Setter

Hydraulic tailstock with MT #6 dead center and quill control provides reliable long-part support; the auto tool setter automates offsets for faster, error-free setups.

FANUC 0i-Plus Control with iHMi

This ergonomic, swiveling panel includes EZ Guide i conversational programming for effortless turning, milling, and threading, plus tool load monitoring to prevent overloads and optimize runtime.

Mill-Drill Capabilities and Coolant Systems

Onboard milling, drilling, and rigid tapping with a 9 kW (12 hp) rotary tool motor and .001-degree spindle indexing enable one-setup versatility. Standard 65 PSI coolant with options for higher pressures aids chip flow and tool longevity, backed by a separate tank and oil skimmer.
