Title: New born of PUMA240 series in triple 5 strategy (2003/07/04)
 
 

Every customer of machine tool, particularly job shop manufacturers of automobile, home appliance and pneumatic equipment parts wants to have high speed, high precision and space-saving design machine with affordable price condition. DAEWOO new PUMA 240 Series CNC turning center has been developed specifically to meet these requirements on the basis of triple 5 strategy, 5 NEW, 5 MORE and 5 LESS. In the strategy, 5 points of the machine should be more reinforced as strong selling points by applying 5 new concepts to the machine and making 5 weak points less.

As the need of machining complicated parts increases, many users want outstanding performance and productivity enhancement even in the machine for general purpose. Since launching the first DAEWOO PUMA series model in 1990s, the PUMA series has gone through some major engineering transformations not only in terms of capabilities and power, but design and cost concept. These PUMA machine tools are generally used in the machining industries where high-productivity and high-performance are needed.

5 new points are added to the machine as the basic principles on which DAEWOO developed the machine, PUMA 240 series. PUMA 240 Series feature a full lineup of models ranging from general turning to milling machining with sub spindle function.
Major components of PUMA 240 series have been designed as modules. By simply replacing the sub spindle or tailstock, or tool post, DAEWOO can quickly supply customized machines that meet specific customer demands.

Thanks to increased use of standardized parts with existing PUMA machines, the overall number of parts has been reduced. For this reason, DAEWOO provides you with the machines you need when you need them without sacrificing quality or reliability.

like existing PUMA models, a servo motor is used to index the turret. PUMA 240 series uses a 3-piece coupling for positioning to ensure high-speed, high-precision tool indexing of 0.15 seconds per station.
Moreover, feed rate is 24 m/min (944.9 imp) in the X-direction and 30 m/min (1181.1 imp) in the Z-direction thanks to optimized lubrication system in the slideway and a high-speed ball screw transmission.
Based on PUMA 240 series turning center specifications, rotary tools, 4.8 kgf.m(47 N.m) are available at all 12 tool stations of PUMA 240 series(M and MS type machine). After first processing of general turning, the second working such as milling, can be achieved immediately without the need to move the workpiece to another machine. High-speed rigid tapping is included as one of the standards.
Sub-spindle, 4.8 kgf.m(47 N.m) with 5 degree indexing is added for the second processing. When the first process is completed in main spindle, the workpiece is transferred to sub-spindle for the second.
A tool holder is the deciding factor between a machine tool and the quality of the manufactured part, i.e. realizing a machine potential requires top tool holder performance. The cost effectiveness of single operation machining on mill/turn centers depends on a high degree on the functionality of the tool holder itself. In order to meet the requirements, DAEWOO has applied BMT(Base Mounted Turret, BMT55) concept and BMT type rotary tool holder to the machine(M/MS type).

Rotary tool holders taken at the PUMA 240 M/MS series are new BMT 55 type holders(called BMT55P rotary tool holders) which obtained patent for an invention.
One of the most important features of new rotary tool holder, BMT55P is the interchangeability with existing BMT rotary tool holders. Alternatively, new tool holders can be utilized in machines equipped with conventional DAEWOO BMT turret. The innovative design allows you to gain the benefit of new holder without the need to discard the existing. Thanks to its improved rigidity and performance, results of real test cutting show the increased cutting capacity and performance about 50% increase, compared with existing rotary tool holder.

To reinforce ease operation of use and make Operator Friendly Programming Environment, three kinds of conversational programming solutions are prepared to support your convenient operation in PUMA 240 series. Each application condition is different on the controller type and the machine. Easy to understand and straightforward operator interface, interactive screens and powerful machining functions are their key features.


 5 points got shortened and lessened in machining application of PUMA 240 series as compared with existing machines. Shortened non-cutting time, Minimized power consumption, Easy chip removal and improved cooling effect of tool tip by variable high pressure coolant application, 4.1bar, 7bar, 10bar and 14bar as optional.
The new developed PUMA 240 Series proudly symbolizes the sound completeness of the general 2-axis(General turning machine) and 4-axis(X, Z-axis general turning and C-axis milling with B-axis sub spindle). Not only is it smaller, faster and more powerful than existing and equivalent PUMA models, but it offers improved safety and easier operation and its application with eco-friendly design as well. In addition, the price is reasonable and affordable for users. If what you are looking for is its perfect integration of machining processes and high-assured reliability, then the PUMA 240 Series will be your unavoidable choice.
