Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA TT 1300 SYB is the bigger-chuck variant of the TT 1300 SY twin-spindle, twin-turret turning center. It steps up to a 6-inch (152 mm) chuck with a 15 kW (20 hp) main spindle delivering 116 Nm (86 ft-lb) of torque — about 25% more power and clamping force than the 5-inch SY model. If you're running small-to-medium parts that push the limits of the SY's 5-inch chuck, the SYB gives you more room without jumping to a larger machine class.

Like the SY, this is a full-featured twin-spindle machine with automatic part transfer. The main spindle machines the front end, the sub-spindle (11 kW/15 hp at 6,000 RPM) picks up the part, flips it, and machines the back end — all in a single automated cycle. Both spindles run at 6,000 RPM, and the Y-axis provides 80 mm (3 in) of off-center travel for true 3-axis milling capability.

Max turning diameter is 175 mm (7 in) with 120 mm (5 in) of turning length. The 12-station turret runs live tools at 6,000 RPM. X-axis travel is 135 mm (5 in) and Z-axis runs 530 mm (21 in), with rapids at 30 m/min on X and 40 m/min on Z.

The SYB weighs 8,100 kg (17,857 lb) and has a slightly larger footprint at 3,510 mm (138 in) long versus 3,405 mm on the SY — the 6-inch chuck assembly takes a bit more space. The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control handles twin-spindle synchronization, part transfer, and Y-axis milling programming.

The SYB is the right choice when your parts are slightly too large or need more clamping force than the 5-inch SY can provide. It's still aimed at high-volume production of small complex parts — medical, automotive, connector, and precision hardware manufacturing where complete done-in-one parts drop off every cycle.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

6-inch chuck with 15 kW spindle handles slightly larger blanks and provides 25% more power than the SY
Twin spindles with automatic part transfer complete front and back-end ops in one cycle
Y-axis with 80 mm travel enables true off-center milling beyond C-axis limitations
6,000 RPM on both spindles and live tools handles aluminum and small parts at proper surface speeds
40 m/min Z-axis rapids minimize non-cutting time in high-volume production
8,100 kg mass provides excellent rigidity and vibration damping for the compact work envelope

Limitations

175 mm max turning diameter and 120 mm length still restrict this to small parts only
Higher cost than the SY variant for the larger spindle and chuck assembly
Twin-spindle programming complexity requires experienced programmers and CAM with simulation
15 kW main spindle is adequate for small parts but won't handle heavy roughing in tough materials

Best For

High-volume production where parts are slightly too large for a 5-inch chuck machine Medical device manufacturing of implants, instruments, and components from bar stock Automotive production of fittings, connectors, and small precision components Shops running the SY that need more clamping force for harder materials or larger diameters Bar-fed production of complete parts requiring work on both ends with milling features

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The SYB has a 6-inch chuck with a 15 kW main spindle (116 Nm torque) versus the SY's 5-inch chuck with 11 kW (93 Nm). The SYB handles slightly larger parts with more clamping force. Both share the same sub-spindle, Y-axis, turret, and live tooling specs.

02 What does a PUMA TT 1300 SYB cost?

Expect $260,000-$330,000 new. The larger spindle and chuck assembly add a premium over the SY. Used machines sell in the $130,000-$210,000 range depending on year and configuration.

03 Can the SYB run unattended with a bar feeder?

Yes, and that's the intended production mode. A bar feeder feeds stock through the main spindle, the machine runs the complete cycle including part transfer to the sub-spindle, and finished parts drop off automatically. Many shops run lights-out on these machines.

04 How does the SYB compare to a Swiss-type lathe?

The SYB is a fixed-headstock machine with a 6-inch chuck, not a sliding-headstock Swiss. It handles shorter, stockier parts (up to 175 mm diameter, 120 mm long) much better than a Swiss. Swiss machines excel at long, slender parts with high length-to-diameter ratios. Different tools for different part geometries.
