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 5100 B is a short-bed, two-axis turning center for big chucking work: a 21 in chuck, a 650 mm (26 in) maximum turning diameter, a 992 mm (39 in) maximum turning length and a 45 kW (60 hp) spindle producing 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb).

The clearest way to read it is against the PUMA 4100 C, which has the same 21 in chuck size, the same 1,500 rpm limit and the same 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z travel. The PUMA 4100 C turns 550 mm (22 in) and lists 37 kW (50 hp) and 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb). The PUMA 5100 B turns 650 mm (26 in) and has about 23% more torque and 22% more power, at 10,600 kg (23,369 lb) against the PUMA 4100 C's 10,450 kg (23,038 lb). The step up buys turning diameter and spindle, with almost no change in machine weight.

With 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) available and a 1,500 rpm ceiling, the machine is set up for heavy cuts on discs, hubs, flanges, rings and short shafts. Turning length is less than twice the maximum diameter, so this is chucker territory. Long shafts belong on the PUMA 5100 LA or PUMA 5100 LB, both with 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z travel. If still more torque is wanted, the PUMA 5100 C lists 4,466 N·m (3,294 ft-lb) at 1,000 rpm on the same Z travel.

The turret has 10 stations and there is no live tool row. X travel is 362 mm (14 in); rapids are 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Z. The machine is 4,759 mm (187 in) long, 2,056 mm (81 in) wide and 2,194 mm (86 in) high.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) of spindle torque from 45 kW (60 hp), about 23% more torque than the PUMA 4100 C
650 mm (26 in) maximum turning diameter with a 21 in chuck
Short machine: 4,759 × 2,056 mm (187 × 81 in) of floor, 2,194 mm (86 in) high
Z rapid of 20 m/min (787 ipm) on 1,105 mm (44 in) of travel

Limitations

Maximum turning length is 992 mm (39 in); shaft work needs the PUMA 5100 LA or PUMA 5100 LB with 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z
1,500 rpm maximum spindle speed keeps surface speed low on small diameters
10-station turret with no live tools listed, so milling and cross drilling are separate operations
Spindle bore is not in the table, although DN Solutions promotes the series for pipe work, so the through-hole size has to be asked for

Best For

Flanges, hubs, rings and discs up to 650 mm (26 in) in diameter Heavy roughing with 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) at the spindle Short, heavy chucking parts within 992 mm (39 in) of turning length Shops with limited floor length that still need a 21 in chuck

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the PUMA 5100 B and the PUMA 4100 C?

Both have a 21 in chuck, a 1,500 rpm spindle, a 10-station turret and 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z travel. The PUMA 5100 B turns up to 650 mm (26 in) in diameter with 45 kW (60 hp) and 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb). The PUMA 4100 C turns up to 550 mm (22 in) with 37 kW (50 hp) and 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb). Machine weights are close: 10,600 kg (23,369 lb) for the PUMA 5100 B and 10,450 kg (23,038 lb) for the PUMA 4100 C.

02 How does the PUMA 5100 B differ from the PUMA 5100 C?

They share the Z travel, the 45 kW (60 hp) motor rating, the 10-station turret and the 650 mm (26 in) maximum turning diameter. The PUMA 5100 B runs to 1,500 rpm with 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) and has a 21 in chuck listed. The PUMA 5100 C is limited to 1,000 rpm, lists 4,466 N·m (3,294 ft-lb), about 10% more torque, and has no chuck size in the table. The PUMA 5100 C's maximum turning length is 1,032 mm (41 in) against 992 mm (39 in) here.

03 What size parts can it turn?

Up to 650 mm (26 in) in diameter and 992 mm (39 in) in length, with 362 mm (14 in) of X travel and 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z travel. The PUMA 4100 C, also with a 21 in chuck, stops at 550 mm (22 in) in diameter, and the PUMA 5100 LB extends the turning length to 2,042 mm (80 in) at the same 650 mm (26 in).

04 Does the PUMA 5100 B have live tools or a Y axis?

Neither is in its table. The model lists X and Z travel, a 10-station turret and no live tool speed. It is a turning machine, and any milled or cross-drilled feature needs another operation.
