A multi-functional 6-axis turning centre offering heavy-duty cutting capability and high levels of accuracy has two spindles radially synchronised to provide accurate second operation milling.

In today's global economy precision manufacturers expect and demand more from their machine tools. Manufacturers need to achieve better machine utilisation to help increase work throughput, reduce production bottlenecks and improve lead times. They need machines that are capable of multi-tasking in order to increase their production capabilities and capacity - and reduce operator interventions.

And they need machines that deliver increased accuracy and repeatability, whilst offering a high level of reliability.

As a consequence more and more manufacturers are looking to invest in multi-functional machines to help them achieve these business benefits.

And more and more of these manufacturers are specifying, and relying on, Doosan Daewoo machine tool technology to help improve their competitiveness.

The Puma 2000SY is a multi-functional 6-axis turning centre designed for a multitude of machining applications (heavy-duty cutting capability and high levels of accuracy).

The machine has a powerful, high torque 15kW 4,500 rev/min main spindle with 65mm bar capacity, and a 7.5kW 6,000 rev/min sub-spindle with full C-axis control and 0.001 deg indexing.

Both spindles are radially synchronised to provide accurate machining of second operation milling operations.

The versatility of the 2000SY is increased via the machine's generous 100mm travel Y-axis function - which enables parts to be machined off centre, such as contour milling of keyways and cross milling of flats.

The 2000SY combines flexibility and power with speed.

X and Z-axis rapids are 20m/min and 24m/min respectively, and the machine's large, 12-station, heavy-duty turret achieves 0.10 second indexing - which helps reduce machine cycle times still further.

The 2000SY has a rigid design structure.

Its heavy-ribbed, torque tube cast iron construction absorbs vibration and helps reduce thermal distortion and the machine's guideways are widely-spaced and of a wrap-around type for increased rigidity and life-time accuracy.

To improve the machine's performance the 2000SY features the latest milling toolholder design with Eppinger Preci-flex face and taper contact system that delivers higher rigidity and, as a consequence, improved milling performance.

The Puma 2000SY also includes as standard an automatic parts catcher and automatic tool setter.
