Doosan's PUMA MX Turns and Mills in a Single Setup
"The Puma MX series turn-mill adds true milling
capabilities to a powerful Doosan Infracore turning center. The new design
provides unmatched flexibility within a complete spectrum of part geometries.
From simple turning or milling to complex, simultaneous, multi-axis machining,
complex parts can be produced on one machine in a single setup. The dual
spindle, multi-tasking Puma MX is built for heavy and interrupted cuts,
long-term accuracy, and superior finishes," said a Doosan spokesperson.
The 12 station turning-tool turret is non-lifting
to protect the coupling from chips and other contaminants, and indexes from
station to station in a quick 0.2 seconds. Live or static tools can be mounted
at any station, and oriented toward either the main or sub spindle. Live tools
are powered by a 7.5 HP (15 minute) motor with a maximum speed of 4,000 RPM.
Polar coordinate, helical and cylindrical interpolations are standard.
Depending on the Puma MX model selected, the
turning spindle is powered by either a 25 HP, 35 HP or 40 HP motor and driven at
speeds from 3,000 to 5,000 RPM. The motor is built into the headstock casting
with the armature on the spindle O.D. "This beltless design eliminates backlash,
feedback error and vibration, resulting in lower maintenance with superior
precision and finish," said the spokesperson.
A combined B-axis (tilting) and Y-axis milling
spindle maximizes the number of geometries that can be machined without the need
for custom rotary tool holders. The Puma MX can cut, drill or tap above or below
the centerline, or mill flats and key-ways. It can machine angular features, and
provide a solid platform for heavy duty machining. A rigid, three piece curvic
coupling locks at 7.5 degree increments, while the RGC provides extra rigidity
in 0.001 degree increments. The milling spindle is powered by a heavy-duty 25 HP
motor, and generates spindle speeds up to 10,000 RPM.
Standard on the Puma MX is a floating 40-tool ATC,
and a fixed 80 station ATC is optional. Tool-to-tool change time is 1.5
seconds.
The bed and guideways are of fine-grain Meehanite
casting to absorb vibrations, and inhibit thermal distortion and twisting. Each
guideway is induction hardened, precision ground, and, before hand scraping,
coated with Rulon 142 fluroplastic resin to reduce friction and eliminate wear.
"Three linear guideways on the upper carriage Z-axis provide rigidity and
alignment during the toughest cuts without lift or torsion that might otherwise
compromise accuracy. Consistent with all Puma machine tools, the bed's torque
tube construction prevents twisting and distortion from heavy cuts, and provides
a generous, machine-long conduit for fresh air," said the spokesperson.
Each axis is driven by a large diameter,
double-nut ball screw, selected for its combination of accuracy, speed and feed
thrust. An electric torque limiter protects the ball screws and minimizes damage
in the event of a crash.
Among the standard features of the Puma MX is its
automatic tool setter to measure tool offsets. The offsets are automatically
computed and fed into the controller. Also included is the Doosan Infracore Tool
Monitoring System, which monitors spindle and axis load - both overload and
underload - while the axis is feeding. Loads exceeding the wear settings either
initiate an alarm, or switch automatically to a redundant tool. Exceeding the
tool-breakage-load stops the machine and alerts the operator.
Puma mill-turns are available with dual spindles
as the Puma MX2100ST, MX2500ST and the MX3000S for parts as large as 21.7" dia.
with maximum lengths from 40.2 to 60 inches. A single spindle model with
programmable tailstock is available as the Puma MX2500. The controller is a
Fanuc 18i-T.
