Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA 4100 LMC is the heavy-hitter in the 4100 long-bed lineup, sporting a massive 21-inch (533 mm) chuck and 2,432 N-m (1,794 ft-lb) of torque. This is the machine you bring in when you're turning large-diameter, long parts in materials that fight back — think heavy forgings in 4340, large stainless housings, and thick-wall pipe.
The 37 kW (50 hp) spindle drives through a gear train optimized for maximum torque at 1,500 RPM. At 21-inch chuck diameters, 1,500 RPM delivers about 6,300 SFM at the OD — more than enough surface speed for finishing steel. For roughing, where you're pushing deep and feeding hard, the 2,432 N-m of torque means the spindle won't flinch.
The long bed gives you 1,988 mm (78 in) of turning length with a max turning diameter of 550 mm (22 in). Axis travels are 352 mm (14 in) on X and 2,155 mm (85 in) on Z. The 12-station turret with 4,000 RPM live tooling handles cross-drilling and milling features along the full part length.
At 12,050 kg (26,566 lb), this is the heaviest of the 4100 long-bed variants. The extra mass comes from the heavier chuck, gearing, and structural reinforcement needed to support 2,400+ N-m of cutting force. It's all working in your favor — more mass means more rigidity and better vibration damping.
The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control manages the operations. For shops doing heavy industrial turning with parts that need both large chucks and long reach, the PUMA 4100 LMC delivers the torque and work envelope to get it done.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,432 N-m (1,794 ft-lb) of torque is exceptional for heavy roughing on large-diameter work
- 21-inch chuck grips large-diameter stock and forgings securely
- 1,988 mm (78 in) turning length handles long shafts and tubular components
- 50 hp spindle with high-torque gearing maximizes material removal rates
- Live tooling at 4,000 RPM adds milling flexibility on heavy parts
- 12,050 kg construction provides outstanding vibration damping
Limitations
- 1,500 RPM max speed is very limiting for smaller diameter work
- 12,050 kg requires substantial foundation engineering
- Max turning length is shorter than the LMA/LMB due to the oversized chuck
- Slow 16/20 m/min rapids add non-cutting time

Frequently Asked Questions
01
At 21-inch diameter, 1,500 RPM gives you about 6,300 SFM — more than adequate for finishing steel. Even at 12 inches, you're at 3,600 SFM. The speed only becomes limiting below about 8-inch diameter, and parts that small don't belong on a 21-inch chuck machine anyway.
02
Both have 21-inch chucks. The 5100 LMB offers 650 mm max turning diameter versus 550 mm, and significantly more torque at 2,958 N-m. The 4100 LMC is lighter and less expensive. If 550 mm swing is enough, the 4100 LMC saves money; if you need the bigger swing, step up to the 5100.
03
The 21-inch chuck typically uses a large-format 3-jaw or 4-jaw power chuck. Custom jaw configurations for specific part geometries are common at this scale. Work with your chuck supplier to match gripping force to part requirements.
04
That's exactly what it's designed for. The 2,432 N-m of torque, combined with the heavy 12,050 kg machine mass, handles the shock loads of interrupted cuts without losing position or chattering. This is a bread-and-butter application for the LMC.
