The Doosan Puma GT 3100L, built by DN Solutions (formerly Doosan Machine Tools), is a horizontal turning center designed for heavy-duty applications that require both precision and extended reach. Here's a closer look at its features and specifications:
Features:
- Box Way Construction: Like its GT 3100 sibling, the Puma GT 3100L boasts a box way design. This rigid structure minimizes vibrations and ensures machining accuracy for high-quality parts and surface finishes.
- Powerful Spindle: This machine packs a punch with a 15.5 kW to 18.5 kW spindle motor, capable of reaching speeds between 3500 rpm and 4500 rpm (depending on the model). This combination allows for powerful cutting and efficient material removal.
- Large Chuck and Extended Turning Length: Where the GT 3100L truly shines is its capacity. It features an 8-inch chuck size accommodating workpieces of significant diameter. But more importantly, it boasts an extended turning length, reaching up to 123 inches (compared to the standard GT 3100's maximum of around 42 inches). This extended reach allows for machining of longer parts without needing additional machines.
- User-Friendly Controls: The Puma GT 3100L maintains the user-friendly control interface found on the GT 3100 series. This simplifies operation and programming for a wider range of operators.
- Fast Tool Changes: Equipped with a rapid tool change mechanism, the machine minimizes downtime between operations, maximizing overall production efficiency.
Specifications:
- Spindle Power: 15.5 kW to 18.5 kW (depending on model)
- Spindle Speed: 3500 rpm to 4500 rpm (depending on model)
- Chuck Diameter: 8-inch
- Maximum Turning Length: 123 inches
- X-Axis Travel: Up to 41.7 inches (depending on model)
- Z-Axis Travel: Up to 31.5 inches (depending on model)
Applications:
Due to its extended turning length, the Doosan Puma GT 3100L is ideal for applications involving long workpieces, such as:
- Shafts
- Rolls
- Pipes
- Long Bars
- Oil and Gas Drilling Components
This machine caters to various industries, including:
- Oil and Gas Production
- Energy
- Construction
- General Machining (for parts exceeding the standard Puma GT 3100's capacity)
In essence, the Doosan Puma GT 3100L offers the power and precision of the Puma GT 3100 series with the added advantage of extended reach, making it a valuable choice for machine shops working with longer workpieces.
