DN Solutions PUMA 5100 vs DN Solutions PUMA 700 II
DN Solutions vs DN Solutions · CNC Lathes
Summary
The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 and the DN Solutions PUMA 700 II are both large turning-only lathes with different strengths. The PUMA 5100 comes in several bed lengths, so some of its rows are series ranges: 992 - 3,082 mm (39 - 121 in) of turning length, 1,105 - 3,150 mm (43.5 - 124 in) of Z travel and 1,000 - 2,000 RPM, against the PUMA 700 II's single 1,600 mm (63 in), 1,650 mm (65 in) and 1,500 rpm. Whether a PUMA 5100 is longer or faster depends on the model chosen.
The PUMA 700 II swings bigger parts, 900 mm (35 in) against 650 mm (26 in), and is rated 55 kW (74 hp) and 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb) against 45 kW (60 hp) and 4,041 Nm (2,980 ft-lb). The PUMA 5100 rapids at 16 m/min (630 in/min) against 12 m/min (472 ipm).

Advantages
DN Solutions PUMA 5100
- 16 m/min (630 in/min) rapids against 12 m/min (472 ipm)
- A choice of bed lengths, from 992 mm (39 in) to 3,082 mm (121 in) of turning length
- Lighter, at 10,600 - 13,100 kg (23,369 - 28,880 lb) against 16,500 kg (36,376 lb)
DN Solutions PUMA 700 II
- 900 mm (35 in) turning diameter against 650 mm (26 in)
- 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb) of torque, twice the 4,041 Nm (2,980 ft-lb)
- 55 kW (74 hp) spindle against 45 kW (60 hp)
- 470 mm (19 in) of X travel against 362 mm (14.3 in)
Verdict
Choose the DN Solutions PUMA 700 II for large-diameter flanges, hubs, wheels and rings up to 900 mm (35 in), and for heavy roughing in steel and cast parts that needs 8,076 N·m (5,957 ft-lb). Choose the DN Solutions PUMA 5100 for shafts up to 650 mm (26 in) in diameter, especially long ones: its longest bed gives 3,082 mm (121 in) of turning length, and its 16 m/min (630 in/min) rapids help on long passes.
