1997 DAEWOO PUMA 200A CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Daewoo Puma 200A is part of Daewoo Heavy Industries' Puma 200-series CNC slant-bed turning centers, built in the late 1990s (this unit dated 1997). The Puma 200 platform shares a common spindle architecture across its sub-variants (200, 200A, 200C, 200LMA, 200MSC): a 2.99 in spindle bore and a spindle speed range extending to 4,500 rpm. Base-trim machines in the family (including the 200A) are equipped with a 20 hp spindle motor and a 12-station automatic turret with roughly 1-second index time. The 'A' designation identifies the base chucker configuration without the sub-spindle (as on the 200MSC) or dedicated live-tooling turret (as on the 200LMA) found on other members of the family, making it a conventional 2-axis, single-spindle turning center. Daewoo Puma 200-series machines of this era were factory-equipped with either Fanuc (18T-class) or Mitsubishi Meldas (520L) CNC controls depending on market and build run, so the specific control fitted to a given unit varies and is not stated with confidence here. Swing-over-bed, exact turning-diameter/length capacities, and chuck size for the 200A specifically were not independently corroborated across two sources and are left blank below. Daewoo Heavy Industries' machine tool business was later reorganized as Doosan Infracore (now DN Solutions); Puma-series nomenclature continued under Doosan/DN Solutions. No factory brochure for the Puma 200A was located online.
