Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA TT 1800 MS is a twin-turret, twin-spindle horizontal turning center built for high-volume production shops that can't afford idle spindle time. With two 12-station turrets and a full sub-spindle, this machine lets you rough on one turret while finishing on the other, or run simultaneous front and back operations to cut cycle times in half. It's the kind of setup that makes single-turret lathes look like they're standing still.
The main spindle and sub-spindle both push 22 kW (29 hp) with torque hitting 208 Nm (153 ft-lb) at speeds up to 5,000 RPM. That's matched power on both ends, so your back-working operations don't become the bottleneck. The 8-inch chuck handles parts up to 230 mm (9 in) turning diameter with 230 mm turning length. It's sized for the bread-and-butter automotive and hydraulic components that keep production shops busy.
Both turrets carry 12 stations with live tooling spinning at 6,000 RPM, so you've got milling capability on each turret. X-axis travel is 165 mm with Z at 700 mm, and rapid traverse hits 20 m/min on X and 40 m/min on Z. The FANUC control ties everything together with synchronized spindle handoff and simultaneous multi-axis cutting paths.
At roughly 8,800 kg (19,401 lb), this isn't a small machine, and the footprint at 3,905 mm long by 2,250 mm wide reflects that twin-turret architecture. But for shops running thousands of identical parts per week, the PUMA TT 1800 MS pays for itself fast by consolidating two or three operations into one setup. You're looking at done-in-one parts dropping into the chip conveyor while competitors are still loading their second op.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Twin 12-station turrets enable simultaneous cutting on both turrets, slashing cycle times on complex parts by 30-50%
- Matched 22 kW (29 hp) main and sub-spindle power means back-working operations don't bottleneck production
- 6,000 RPM live tooling on both turrets provides full milling capability for done-in-one part production
- 5,000 RPM spindle speed on both spindles handles aluminum and steel with equal confidence
- FANUC control with synchronized spindle handoff makes programming simultaneous operations straightforward
- Compact footprint relative to capability — replaces two separate lathe setups in one machine
Limitations
- High acquisition cost puts this machine out of reach for low-volume job shops that can't justify twin-turret utilization
- No Y-axis on this MS variant limits off-center milling capability compared to the SY model
- 8,800 kg machine weight requires substantial floor preparation and foundation work
- Complex twin-turret programming has a steeper learning curve for operators used to single-turret machines
- 230 mm max turning diameter limits part size to small-to-mid range components

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The MS variant has live tooling (milling spindle) on both turrets but no Y-axis. The SY variant adds Y-axis capability plus sub-spindle, giving you off-center milling for features like flats, slots, and cross-holes. If your parts need off-centerline work, go SY. If you just need drilling and basic milling, the MS saves money.
02
New PUMA TT 1800 MS machines typically run $250,000-$350,000 depending on options and tooling package. Used machines from the Doosan era (pre-rebrand) can be found in the $120,000-$200,000 range with reasonable hours. The twin-turret configuration commands a significant premium over single-turret models.
03
Yes, that's the whole point of the TT platform. Both turrets can engage the workpiece at the same time on different axes, performing roughing on one while finishing on the other. The FANUC control handles the synchronization and collision avoidance. This is where the real cycle time savings come from.
04
It runs a FANUC control with multi-path capability for managing simultaneous turret operations. The multi-path architecture lets you program each turret independently while the control handles synchronization, wait codes, and spindle handoff between main and sub-spindle.
05
Yes, the 8-inch chuck and compact work envelope are well-suited for bar feeder integration. Many shops run these with magazine bar feeders for lights-out production of small turned parts. The sub-spindle handles part cutoff and back-working without manual intervention.
