Why the PUMA 2100SY II Stands Out as an Advanced Multi-Task Turning Center from Ellison Technologies

The PUMA 2100SY II is crafted for precision demands, with a 5,000 rpm main spindle at 22 kW (30 hp), a 6,000 rpm sub spindle at 15 kW (20 hp), and ultra-fast 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapids that cut non-productive time. Merging robust construction with innovations like integral spindle motors and FANUC 0i-Plus control with iHMi touch screen, it ensures enhanced milling accuracy and quick acceleration. This CNC lathe masters heavy cuts, fine finishes, and off-center operations via Y-axis, full C-axis on both spindles, and rigid tapping, handling workpieces up to 406 mm (15.98") diameter.

Key highlights include:

  • Ultra-Rigid Structure: 30-degree one-piece cast-iron slant bed with box ways minimizes vibration and thermal distortion for consistent results.

  • High-Speed Indexing: 0.15-second turret swivel with 12/24 positions boosts cycle efficiency.

  • Multi-Task Versatility: Y-axis (±52.5 mm travel) and 5,000 rpm rotary tools enable drilling, milling, and tapping on main/sub spindles.

With a maximum turning length of 520 mm (20.47") and features like main-sub synchronization, the PUMA 2100SY II processes intricate parts seamlessly, supported by Ellison Technologies' expertise for optimal integration.
