How much does the DN Solutions PUMA 5100 C 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
With 4,466 N·m (3,294 ft-lb) at the spindle and a 1,000 rpm limit, the DN Solutions PUMA 5100 C trades spindle speed for torque on a short two-axis machine with 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z travel. The motor is rated 45 kW (60 hp), the maximum turning diameter is 650 mm (26 in) and the maximum turning length is 1,032 mm (41 in).
DN Solutions also lists the PUMA 5100 B on the same Z travel, with a 1,500 rpm spindle and 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb). Both are 45 kW (60 hp) machines, so the PUMA 5100 C's extra torque, about 10% more than the PUMA 5100 B, comes with a top speed one third lower and not with a bigger motor. The gain is modest. The choice between the two is really about the speed range the parts need.
DN Solutions' table has no chuck size row for this model, although it lists 21 in for the PUMA 5100 B. Nor does it state the spindle bore. The series page describes pipe machining with a spindle through hole of up to Ø375 mm and threading solutions for pipes, and a slow, high-torque spindle would suit that work, but nothing in this model's column confirms which bore it has. Settle the bore, the spindle nose and the chucks in the quotation.
It is a plain turning machine: X travel of 362 mm (14 in), a 10-station turret, no live tools listed. Rapids are 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Z. The machine weighs 10,650 kg (23,479 lb) and measures 4,759 × 2,056 × 2,194 mm (187 × 81 × 86 in), length by width by height.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4,466 N·m (3,294 ft-lb) of spindle torque, about 10% more than the PUMA 5100 B
- 45 kW (60 hp) spindle motor on a machine 4,759 mm (187 in) long
- 650 mm (26 in) maximum turning diameter on 362 mm (14 in) of X travel
- Maximum turning length of 1,032 mm (41 in), slightly more than the 992 mm (39 in) of the PUMA 5100 B
Limitations
- 1,000 rpm maximum spindle speed, a third lower than the PUMA 5100 B's 1,500 rpm
- No chuck size or spindle bore in the table for this model
- 10-station turret with no live tool speed listed
- Short bed: 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z travel, where the PUMA 5100 LA and PUMA 5100 LB have 2,155 mm (85 in)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Look at the speed the parts need. The PUMA 5100 B reaches 1,500 rpm with 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb); the PUMA 5100 C stops at 1,000 rpm with 4,466 N·m (3,294 ft-lb). Motor power is 45 kW (60 hp) on both. If the work is mostly near the 650 mm (26 in) limit the lower speed takes nothing away. With smaller diameters in the mix, the PUMA 5100 B is the more flexible machine.
02
Neither is stated in DN Solutions' table for this model. The neighbouring PUMA 5100 B is listed with a 21 in chuck. The series page quotes a maximum spindle through hole of Ø375 mm for pipe turning, as a figure for the series. Ask for the bore and workholding in writing.
03
4,759 mm (187 in) long, 2,056 mm (81 in) wide and 2,194 mm (86 in) high, weighing 10,650 kg (23,479 lb). For scale, the long-bed PUMA 5100 LA weighs 11,550 kg (25,463 lb) with 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z travel.
04
No live tool speed and no Y travel are listed for it. The table shows a 10-station turret with X and Z motion only, so it should be treated as a turning-only lathe. Parts needing keyways or cross holes go on to a second machine.
