USED DOOSAN PUMA 480 – 2012
The DOOSAN PUMA 480 – 2012 is a heavy-duty CNC horizontal turning center designed for machining large-diameter and long workpieces. The PUMA 480 combines a rigid slant-bed construction with a large spindle bore, high spindle power, substantial swing capacity, and a FANUC CNC control. Documented 2012 machines are available in configurations with either 10- or 12-station turrets, depending on the individual machine.
The machine provides a maximum turning diameter of approximately 650 mm (25.6 in) and a maximum turning length of approximately 992 mm (39.1 in) on the documented 2012 U.S. configuration. Its large spindle bore and 165 mm (6.5 in) bar capacity make it particularly suitable for large shafts, sleeves, rings, flanges, and other heavy-duty components.
The documented 2012 U.S. machine uses a 60 HP spindle motor, a 24-inch Samchully 3-jaw power chuck, 1,500 RPM maximum spindle speed, FANUC Series 32i Model A control, tailstock, chip conveyor, and tool setter. Another documented 2012 PUMA 480 configuration uses a 45 kW spindle, 525 mm chuck, 10-station turret, and FANUC Series 32i Model A control.
With its large work envelope, powerful spindle, large chuck, and substantial bar capacity, the used DOOSAN PUMA 480 can be suited to manufacturers producing heavy industrial components, shafts, sleeves, hydraulic components, oil and gas parts, machinery components, and other large precision-turned parts.

WHY CHOOSE DOOSAN PUMA 480
The DOOSAN PUMA 480 is designed around large-capacity, heavy-duty CNC turning. Its combination of a 35.4-inch swing, approximately 26-inch maximum turning diameter, 39.1-inch turning length, 6.5-inch bar capacity, and powerful spindle provides substantial machining capacity for large components.
The FANUC 32i Model A control, automatic turret, tailstock, chip conveyor, and tool setter provide the features needed for repeatable production turning. The availability of different chuck, turret, and tooling configurations also means buyers can select a used PUMA 480 based on the specific requirements of their production work.
WHY BUY USED DOOSAN PUMA 480
Buying a used DOOSAN PUMA 480 can give manufacturers access to a large-capacity CNC turning center without the capital investment associated with a new heavy-duty machine. Its large spindle bore and work envelope make it particularly useful for shops that need to turn components too large for conventional production lathes.
Many used machines include valuable options such as:
- FANUC Series 32i Model A CNC control
- 24-inch power chuck
- 525 mm chuck
- Tailstock
- Chip conveyor
- Tool setter
- Oil mist filtration
- EZ Guide
- Turning tooling
- Large spindle bore
- 10- or 12-station turret
Before purchasing, buyers should inspect the spindle, chuck, hydraulic system, tailstock, turret indexing, ballscrews, guideways, FANUC control, chip conveyor, coolant system, tool setter, and machine geometry. The exact configuration and condition can vary substantially between individual used PUMA 480 machines.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED DOOSAN PUMA 480 COST?
A current U.S. listing for a 2012 DOOSAN PUMA 480 is advertised at $89,900 USD. The machine is equipped with a 24-inch chuck, 60 HP spindle, 6.5-inch bar capacity, 12-station turret, FANUC 32i Model A control, tailstock, chip conveyor, and tool setter.
Other exact 2012 PUMA 480 machines are being offered at price on request, so $89,900 should be treated as a current individual asking price rather than a fixed market value.
The final value of a used PUMA 480 can vary based on spindle condition, hours, chuck size, turret configuration, control condition, tailstock, tooling, chip conveyor, oil mist filtration, service history, and overall machine condition.
