Daewoo's new PUMA TT-series of
high-performance turning centers
feature upper and lower turrets,
equal capacity opposing spindles, and
high-speed, wraparound rectangular
guideways. With twice the tools in
the cut, and twice the parts being cut
simultaneously, productivity can be
almost doubled. Y-axis motion and
simultaneous feed control on the upper turret enable complex machining
processes, such as circular and cylindrical interpolation, enable tough
geometries to be cut in a single setup.
Standard features include a safety window on the front door, swiveling
operator panel, and a belt-type oil skinner to eliminate tramp oil from the
coolant. Also included are an absolute positioning coder, air blast for
chuck jaw cleaning and the Daewoo tool monitoring system. Control is
with a Fanuc 18i-T.
The Puma TT can also be specified as a twin turret, with a programmable
tailstock replacing the second spindle. The tailstock has a travel of 27.75
along wide, wraparound, rectangular-type guide ways. An additional 5.9
is available through quill travel.
