2002 DAEWOO PUMA 230C CNC LATHES

Technical Description

The Daewoo Puma 230C is a CNC slant-bed turning center from Daewoo Heavy Industries' Puma 200-series, built in the early 2000s (this unit dated 2002). It is equipped with a Fanuc 21i-TB (21iT) CNC control and a 10-inch three-jaw Kitagawa hydraulic chuck. The spindle has a 3.54 in bore and reaches speeds up to 3,500 rpm, driven by a 20 hp spindle motor. Tooling is handled by a 12-station automatic turret. The machine's footprint is 117 in long by 64 in wide by 69 in high, with a machine weight of approximately 9,200-9,400 lbs depending on configuration. Standard equipment includes a programmable hydraulic tailstock, coolant system, barfeed interface, RS-232 ports, and on some units a tool presetter. Electrical service is 220V, 3-phase. Max turning diameter and max turning length figures varied meaningfully between the two independently listed used units researched for this row (11.4-13.8 in and 19.4-21.6 in respectively), so those capacity figures are left blank pending a single corroborated source or an OEM spec sheet. 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 230C was located online; the specifications above are corroborated across two independently listed used units of this exact model.
