Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA TT 1300 SY is a compact twin-spindle, twin-turret turning center with Y-axis and live tooling — essentially a complete machining system for small, complex parts. It's built for high-volume production of components that need turning, milling, drilling, and tapping on both ends, all done in a single cycle without operator intervention.

The main spindle and sub-spindle both run at 6,000 RPM. The main puts out 11 kW (15 hp) with 93 Nm (69 ft-lb) of torque through a 5-inch (127 mm) chuck, and the sub-spindle matches at 11 kW/15 hp. The sub-spindle picks up the part from the main, flips it, and machines the back end — no manual rechucking needed. That's where the real productivity comes from on parts that need work on both faces.

The Y-axis adds 80 mm (3 in) of off-center travel, which unlocks true 3-axis milling capability on the turning center. You can mill flats, drill off-center holes, and create features that C-axis alone can't reach. Combined with 6,000 RPM live tools on the 12-station turret, this turns the TT 1300 SY into a genuine mill-turn machine for small parts.

Max turning diameter is 175 mm (7 in) with 120 mm (5 in) of turning length — this machine is purpose-built for small, short parts. X-axis travel is 135 mm (5 in) and Z runs 530 mm (21 in), with impressive rapids at 30 m/min on X and 40 m/min on Z. The fast rapids keep non-cutting time tight between operations.

At 8,000 kg (17,637 lb), the TT 1300 SY is surprisingly heavy for its work envelope. All that mass comes from the twin-spindle, twin-turret structure, and it pays off in rigidity and vibration damping. The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control handles both spindles and turrets with synchronization and part transfer programming. This machine is aimed squarely at medical, watch, connector, and precision component manufacturers running high volumes of small, complex parts.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Twin spindles with automatic part transfer machine both ends of the part in a single cycle — no manual rechucking
Y-axis with 80 mm travel enables true 3-axis milling beyond what C-axis interpolation alone can achieve
6,000 RPM on both main and sub-spindle handles aluminum and small-diameter work at proper surface speeds
40 m/min Z-axis rapids keep non-cutting time minimal on high-volume production
Twin turret architecture allows simultaneous operations on main and sub-spindle sides
8,000 kg mass provides exceptional rigidity for the compact work envelope

Limitations

175 mm max turning diameter and 120 mm length restrict this to small parts only
11 kW spindle power limits heavy roughing on tough materials — it's designed for small, fast cuts
$250,000+ price tag is a significant investment for a small-part machine
Twin-spindle programming is complex — requires experienced operators and good CAM software
5-inch chuck limits workholding options for irregular-shaped blanks

Best For

High-volume production of small, complex parts requiring work on both ends Medical device and implant manufacturing where complete parts are needed from bar stock Connector, fitting, and precision hardware production at volume Watch and instrument component manufacturing with tight tolerances Shops running bar-fed production of small parts that currently require two setups to complete Any application where eliminating rechucking and secondary ops on small parts drives profitability

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a PUMA TT 1300 SY cost?

Expect $250,000-$320,000 new depending on options. The twin-spindle, twin-turret, Y-axis configuration commands a premium, but it replaces what would otherwise be two machines and an operator. Used TT 1300 machines sell in the $120,000-$200,000 range.

02 What's the difference between the TT 1300 SY and SYB?

The SY has a 5-inch chuck with 11 kW main spindle. The SYB upgrades to a 6-inch chuck with 15 kW main spindle and 116 Nm of torque. The SYB handles slightly larger blanks with more clamping force. Both share the same sub-spindle, Y-axis, and turret specs.

03 How does the part transfer work?

The sub-spindle advances into the work zone, grips the part from the main spindle, and retracts. The part is now flipped, and the turret machines the back end. This all happens automatically within the CNC program — no operator intervention needed.

04 Can the TT 1300 SY run with a bar feeder?

Yes, and that's the typical production setup. A bar feeder feeds stock through the main spindle, the machine completes the front-end ops, transfers to the sub-spindle for back-end work, and parts off. You can run unattended for hours at a time.

05 How does this compare to a Swiss-type lathe?

The TT 1300 SY is a fixed-headstock machine, not a Swiss. It's better suited for shorter parts (up to 120 mm) with larger diameters (up to 175 mm). Swiss machines excel at very long, slender parts. For short, complex parts that need Y-axis milling and back-end work, the TT 1300 SY is often more productive.
