Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 LB takes the 21 in chuck and 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) spindle of the PUMA 5100 B and gives them 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z travel. Maximum turning length is 2,042 mm (80 in) and maximum turning diameter 650 mm (26 in).

The spindle data in the two columns is identical: 1,500 rpm, 45 kW (60 hp), 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb). What the PUMA 5100 B cannot do is reach past 992 mm (39 in) of turning length on its 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z. The LB roughly doubles both and weighs 12,050 kg (26,566 lb) against the PUMA 5100 B's 10,600 kg (23,369 lb).

On this length of bed the alternative is the PUMA 5100 LA, with a 15 in chuck, 2,000 rpm, 37 kW (50 hp) and 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb). The LB's advantage over the PUMA 5100 LA is about 23% more torque and a chuck that can hold large-diameter stock securely. What it gives up is a quarter of the top speed and a little turning length, the PUMA 5100 LA being listed at 2,082 mm (82 in). Work that is heavy along its whole length, such as rolls and large-diameter shafts, is the natural load.

It is a two-axis machine with a 10-station turret and no live tools in the table. X travel is 362 mm (14 in). Rapid traverse is 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Z. Dimensions are 5,879 mm (231 in) in length, 2,275 mm (90 in) in width and 2,272 mm (89 in) in height. The table leaves out spindle bore, tailstock and steady rest data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) and 45 kW (60 hp), the same spindle figures as the short-bed PUMA 5100 B
2,155 mm (85 in) of Z travel, roughly double the PUMA 5100 B's 1,105 mm (44 in)
21 in chuck with a 650 mm (26 in) maximum turning diameter
About 23% more torque than the PUMA 5100 LA on the same travel

Limitations

1,500 rpm limit; the PUMA 5100 LA reaches 2,000 rpm
No live tools: as listed, the 10-station turret is for turning tools only
12,050 kg (26,566 lb) and 5,879 mm (231 in) of length to install
No spindle bore, tailstock or steady rest figures in the table

Best For

Heavy rolls and large-diameter shafts up to 2,042 mm (80 in) long Deep roughing cuts with 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) Parts up to 650 mm (26 in) in diameter needing a 21 in chuck Two-axis turning where torque matters more than top speed

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How is the PUMA 5100 LB different from the PUMA 5100 B?

Length. The PUMA 5100 B has 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z travel and a 992 mm (39 in) maximum turning length at 10,600 kg (23,369 lb). The PUMA 5100 LB has 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z travel and a 2,042 mm (80 in) maximum turning length at 12,050 kg (26,566 lb). Chuck size, spindle speed, power, torque, turret and turning diameter are listed the same.

02 How does its torque compare with the PUMA 5100 LA and PUMA 5100 C?

The PUMA 5100 LB lists 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) at up to 1,500 rpm. The PUMA 5100 LA lists 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb) at up to 2,000 rpm, and the short-bed PUMA 5100 C lists 4,466 N·m (3,294 ft-lb) at up to 1,000 rpm. The LB therefore sits between the two on both torque and speed, with the same 45 kW (60 hp) rating as the PUMA 5100 C.

03 What are the travels and rapid rates?

X travel is 362 mm (14 in) and Z travel is 2,155 mm (85 in). Rapid traverse is 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Z. No Y axis is listed for this model.

04 What is not covered by DN Solutions' table?

Spindle bore and nose, tailstock and steady rests are not in the comparison table for this model. The series page mentions a spindle through hole of up to Ø375 mm and threading solutions for pipe work as series features. Confirm what applies to the PUMA 5100 LB before ordering.
