DOOSAN PUMA MX Series – Standard Turning The Doosan Puma MX Series is a powerful Multi-Task Machining Center. Its core is built upon the concepts a standard CNC Turning Center. As such, it handles standard CNC Turning quite well. The basic differences in programming are not in the tool path motion but in the following: Preparation and positioning before a Turning Operation Tool Changes and Offsets End of an Operation/Preparation for the next operation. By standardizing the NC Code data in these areas, we can come up with a basic skeleton or outline for all machining operations.
This standardization will aid in the creation of a Post-Processor for any given CAM system that a user may have for generating NC programs. As ANSI/ISO Stick Tooling is well established for CNC Turning Operations, the first four examples in this user manual will be using this standard stick tooling along with the proper CAPTO® C6 holder and adapters for that tooling. As all Doosan Puma MX Series Multi-Task Machining Center have the common element of the Nutating B-Axis Head, our first standard turning example will be done using the B-Axis Head for all operations.
We will then progress to using the Lower Turret independently and then integrate it into synchronized operations using both the Upper B-Axis Head and the Lower Turret. - 3 -
