Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 is a heavy-duty 21-inch chuck turning center built for the kind of large-part work that pushes smaller machines past their limits. With a 45 kW (60 hp) spindle generating 4,041-4,466 Nm (2,980-3,294 ft-lb) of torque, this machine chews through large steel forgings, heavy flanges, and oil country components without breaking a sweat. The box-way construction provides the rigidity that large-diameter heavy interrupted cuts demand.

The PUMA 5100 turns up to 650 mm (25.6 in) in diameter with turning lengths ranging from 992 mm to 3,042 mm (39 to 120 in) depending on the bed variant. Axis travels are 362 mm on X and 1,105-3,150 mm on Z. Rapid traverse runs 16 m/min on X and 20 m/min on Z — not blazing, but appropriate for a machine this size where mass and rigidity take priority over speed. The 10-station turret handles the heavy-duty tooling required for large-diameter work.

At 10,600-13,100 kg (23,369-28,880 lb) depending on bed length, the PUMA 5100 requires serious floor preparation and rigging. The Fanuc 0i-Plus control provides the same interface as smaller DN Solutions machines. This fills the gap between mid-size 10-inch chuck lathes and the truly massive PUMA 700/1000 series, handling the 15-21 inch chuck class work that dominates oil & gas, mining, power generation, and heavy equipment manufacturing. It competes with the Mazak Quick Turn 450 and Okuma LB45 II.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

45 kW (60 hp) spindle with over 4,000 Nm of torque handles the heaviest roughing operations in large steel and alloy forgings
21-inch chuck swings large-diameter parts that exceed the capacity of standard 10-12 inch chuck lathes
Multiple bed length options from 992 mm to 3,042 mm turning length cover a wide range of large-part applications
Box-way construction provides the vibration damping essential for large-diameter interrupted cuts and heavy material removal
Proven PUMA platform reliability in the heavy-duty segment with strong DN Solutions dealer support

Limitations

10,600-13,100 kg machine weight demands reinforced floor preparation, heavy rigging, and significant installation planning
1,000-2,000 RPM spindle speed range limits performance on smaller-diameter finishing operations
16 m/min X-axis rapid traverse is slow compared to mid-size lathes, adding non-cutting time on complex parts
High acquisition cost of $180-280K limits accessibility to shops with consistent large-part work to justify the investment

Best For

Oil & gas manufacturers turning large flanges, couplings, drill collars, and pipe fittings in the 15-21 inch diameter range Power generation shops producing turbine components, generator housings, and large cylindrical parts Mining and heavy equipment manufacturers turning large wear components, rollers, and shafts Job shops specializing in large-diameter work that needs a dedicated heavy-duty turning platform

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DN Solutions PUMA 5100 cost?

New PUMA 5100 machines run $180,000-$280,000 depending on bed length and options. The short-bed 5100B starts at the lower end, while the extended XLC variant with maximum turning length commands the premium. Used machines from 2015-2022 sell in the $70,000-$150,000 range depending on hours and configuration.

02 What bed lengths are available for the PUMA 5100?

The PUMA 5100 comes in multiple bed lengths: standard (992 mm turning length), long bed (approximately 2,000 mm), and extra-long bed XLC (3,042 mm / 120 inches). Choose the bed length based on your longest typical workpiece plus tailstock clearance requirements.

03 How does the PUMA 5100 compare to the PUMA 700 II?

The PUMA 700 II is the next step up with a 24-inch chuck, 900 mm max turning diameter, and 55 kW spindle. The 5100 handles 21-inch chuck work with 650 mm turning diameter. Choose the 5100 for parts in the 15-21 inch range, the 700 II for work that exceeds 650 mm diameter or needs the extra power.

04 What kind of floor preparation does the PUMA 5100 need?

At 10,600-13,100 kg, the PUMA 5100 requires a reinforced concrete floor typically 200-300 mm thick with appropriate load-bearing capacity. Consult DN Solutions' installation guide for specific foundation requirements including anchor bolt patterns and leveling pad locations.
