Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 C is the maximum-torque variant in the 5100 short-bed lineup, built for shops that need to wrestle with the heaviest, most demanding turning operations. It swaps the standard 21-inch chuck for an even larger bore configuration and drops the spindle speed to 1,000 RPM while cranking the torque up to 4,466 Nm (3,294 ft-lb). That's the kind of grunt you need for deep cuts in large-diameter castings and forgings.
The 45 kW (60 hp) spindle drives through a gear train optimized for low-end torque delivery. At 1,000 RPM max, you're not going to win any speed contests, but that's not the point. This machine is designed for big parts, big cuts, and tough materials. Think large steel forgings, cast iron housings, and heavy industrial components where material removal rate matters more than surface speed.
Max turning diameter is 650 mm (26 in) with a turning length of 1,032 mm (41 in). X-axis travel runs 362 mm, Z is 1,105 mm, and rapids match the rest of the 5100 family at 16 m/min on X and 20 m/min on Z. The 10-station turret handles standard production tooling, and the FANUC control keeps programming straightforward.
At 10,650 kg (23,479 lb), it's roughly the same footprint as the 5100 B but with a heavier spindle assembly to support the increased torque output. Box-way construction on all axes means stability and dampening are built into the foundation. For shops in heavy equipment manufacturing, mining, energy, and industrial valve production, the 5100 C provides the raw muscle that lighter machines can't match.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4,466 Nm (3,294 ft-lb) of spindle torque is among the highest in the 5100 family for maximum material removal
- 45 kW (60 hp) spindle handles the toughest materials including heavy forgings and large castings
- 650 mm max turning diameter with generous swing for large workpieces
- Box-way construction provides rock-solid stability for heavy interrupted cuts
- Large-bore spindle configuration accommodates oversized workholding setups
- FANUC control with broad industry support and familiar programming environment
Limitations
- 1,000 RPM max spindle speed severely limits small-diameter work and any aluminum machining
- Large-bore chuck configuration is custom order — lead times may be longer than standard chuck variants
- 10-station turret limits tool variety on complex multi-feature parts
- No live tooling, Y-axis, or sub-spindle — strictly a 2-axis turning machine
- Over 10,600 kg demands proper foundation prep and professional installation

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The 5100 C trades spindle speed for torque. It runs 1,000 RPM max with 4,466 Nm torque versus the B's 1,500 RPM and 4,041 Nm. The C also uses a larger bore spindle configuration instead of the B's 21-inch chuck. Choose the C when your work demands maximum torque and you're not concerned about surface speed.
02
New PUMA 5100 C machines typically run $170,000-$230,000. The custom-order chuck configuration may affect pricing and delivery time. Contact your DN Solutions distributor for a specific quote based on your workholding requirements.
03
For large-diameter steel and cast iron work, 1,000 RPM provides appropriate surface speeds. At 650 mm turning diameter, 1,000 RPM gives you about 2,042 m/min surface speed — well within range for most ferrous materials. It's only a limitation on small diameters or non-ferrous materials.
04
The 5100 C uses a large-bore spindle configuration with custom-order chuck options. Contact your DN Solutions distributor for specific chuck sizes and configurations available for your application. Hydraulic and pneumatic options are both supported.
