How much does the DN Solutions PUMA 4100 XLMA cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA 4100 XLMA is a long-bed turning center with driven tools: a 12 in chuck, a 3,000 rpm spindle, a 12-station turret with 4,000 rpm live tools and 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel. Maximum turning length is 3,100 mm (122 in) and maximum turning diameter 550 mm (22 in).
The live tools are what separate it from the turning-only machines in the family. A shaft that needs keyways, wrench flats, cross holes or end drilling can be finished without moving it to a mill, which matters more as the part gets longer and harder to set up twice. DN Solutions' table shows X and Z travel only for this model, so driven tools cut on the plane through the spindle centerline. Off-center features need a Y axis that this model's table does not list.
The spindle is the lightest in torque of the machines around it. It is rated 37 kW (50 hp) and 1,024 N·m (755 ft-lb) at up to 3,000 rpm. The two-axis PUMA 4100 LA, also a 12 in, 3,000 rpm machine, lists 35 kW (47 hp) and 1,584 N·m (1,168 ft-lb). The PUMA 4100 B with its 15 in chuck lists 2,379 N·m (1,755 ft-lb) at 2,000 rpm. So the XLMA is the choice for smaller-diameter shafts taken at higher speed, and a poor fit for deep roughing on work near the 550 mm (22 in) limit.
It weighs 12,050 kg (26,566 lb) and occupies 7,024 × 2,276 mm (277 × 90 in) of floor at a height of 2,335 mm (92 in). Rapid traverse is 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Z.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 12-station turret with 4,000 rpm live tools for milling and drilling on long shafts in the turning setup
- 3,000 rpm spindle with a 12 in chuck, better suited to small diameters than the 2,000 rpm PUMA 4100 B
- 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel and a 3,100 mm (122 in) maximum turning length
- 37 kW (50 hp) spindle motor
Limitations
- Spindle torque is 1,024 N·m (755 ft-lb), about 35% less than the 1,584 N·m (1,168 ft-lb) of the two-axis PUMA 4100 LA
- No Y-axis travel in the table for this model, so off-center milling is not covered
- The 12 in chuck is small against a 550 mm (22 in) maximum turning diameter; large parts grip better on the 15 in PUMA 4100 B or the 21 in PUMA 4100 C
- Live tool power and torque are not listed, only the 4,000 rpm speed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The 12-station turret lists a live tool speed of 4,000 rpm, so drilling, tapping and milling can be done in the turning setup. The table gives X and Z travel and no Y travel, which keeps that work on the plane through the spindle centerline. DN Solutions does not list the live tool power or torque in this table, so ask for both if the job includes heavy milling.
02
Both have a 12 in chuck, a 3,000 rpm spindle and a 12-station turret. The PUMA 4100 LA lists no live tool speed and has 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z travel, 35 kW (47 hp) and 1,584 N·m (1,168 ft-lb), weighing 10,900 kg (24,030 lb). The XLMA adds 4,000 rpm live tools and extends Z travel to 3,150 mm (124 in), with 37 kW (50 hp) and 1,024 N·m (755 ft-lb), at 12,050 kg (26,566 lb).
03
It is the wrong end of the family for that. Spindle torque is 1,024 N·m (755 ft-lb). The PUMA 4100 B lists 2,379 N·m (1,755 ft-lb) and the PUMA 4100 C lists 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb), both as two-axis machines with 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z travel. The XLMA trades that torque for spindle speed and driven tools.
04
7,024 mm (277 in) long, 2,276 mm (90 in) wide and 2,335 mm (92 in) high, with a machine weight of 12,050 kg (26,566 lb). Those are the machine's own dimensions. Loading a part close to the 3,100 mm (122 in) maximum turning length needs crane access along the bed as well.
