Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 LC is the maximum-torque, long-bed variant in the 5100 lineup. It pairs a large-bore spindle configuration with 2,082 mm (82 in) of turning length and 4,466 Nm (3,294 ft-lb) of torque — the highest in the 5100 long-bed family. This is the machine you spec when your parts are long, heavy, and made from materials that punish anything less than brute force.

The 45 kW (60 hp) spindle runs at a max of 1,000 RPM, geared for low-speed, high-torque operation. Every Newton-meter goes into the cut. The 650 mm (26 in) max turning diameter means you've got swing for large-diameter work, and the 2,155 mm of Z-axis travel gives you over 2 meters of usable turning length for long shafts and heavy cylinders.

Box-way construction on X and Z provides the foundation this class of work needs. X travel is 362 mm, Z is 2,155 mm, and rapids hit 16 m/min on X and 20 m/min on Z. The 10-station turret carries standard production tooling. The FANUC control delivers reliable, familiar programming.

At 12,100 kg (26,676 lb), the 5100 LC has the mass to back up its torque numbers. The combination of maximum torque, long bed, and big swing makes it ideal for shops in heavy equipment, mining, energy, and industrial manufacturing where the work is large, long, and heavy. It's not a versatile all-rounder — it's a specialist built for the toughest turning jobs in the catalog. Specs sourced from DN Solutions published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4,466 Nm (3,294 ft-lb) torque is the highest in the 5100 long-bed family for maximum material removal
2,082 mm turning length handles long shafts and heavy industrial components
45 kW spindle with large-bore configuration accommodates oversized workholding
650 mm swing covers large-diameter forgings and castings
Box-way rigidity and 12,100 kg mass ensure stability during aggressive cutting
FANUC control with industry-standard reliability

Limitations

1,000 RPM max speed severely limits small-diameter and non-ferrous work
Large-bore chuck configuration is custom order with potential lead time impact
No live tooling, Y-axis, or sub-spindle capability
10-station turret limits tool capacity on complex jobs
5.9 meter footprint and 12,100 kg weight require significant installation planning

Best For

Heavy equipment manufacturers turning long, large-diameter steel and cast iron components Mining and energy sector shops machining heavy shafts and cylindrical parts Industrial valve and pump manufacturers producing large long-bodied housings Shops needing maximum torque on long parts where other machines stall or chatter Manufacturers replacing large manual lathes with CNC for heavy, long-part production

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the PUMA 5100 LC compare to the 5100 LB?

The LC trades spindle speed for torque: 1,000 RPM with 4,466 Nm versus the LB's 1,500 RPM with 4,041 Nm. The LC also uses a large-bore spindle instead of the LB's standard 21-inch chuck. Turning lengths are similar. Choose the LC when maximum torque matters more than speed range.

02 What does a PUMA 5100 LC cost?

New PUMA 5100 LC machines typically run $185,000-$245,000 depending on configuration and options. The custom-order spindle configuration may affect delivery times. Used machines sell in the $80,000-$150,000 range.

03 What materials is the 5100 LC best suited for?

The low-speed, high-torque design is ideal for heavy ferrous materials: carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and ductile iron. The 4,466 Nm of torque enables deep, aggressive cuts that would stall lighter machines.

04 Can I run this with a steady rest?

Yes. A hydraulic steady rest is available and highly recommended for long workpieces. With over 2 meters of turning length, steady rest support is essential for maintaining accuracy on shaft work.
