Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 LMB is a long-bed heavy turning center with a 21 in chuck and a milling turret. It turns up to 650 mm (26 in) in diameter and 2,002 mm (79 in) in length, and its 12-station turret carries live tools that run to 4,000 rpm. The main spindle is rated 45 kW (60 hp) and 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb), with a top speed of 1,500 rpm.

Two rows separate it from the turning-only machines on the same frame. The first is the turret: the PUMA 5100 B and the PUMA 5100 LA each list 10 stations and no live tool speed, so keyways, cross holes and flange bolt patterns that would send their parts to a mill can be finished here in the turning setup. The second is torque. With the same 21 in chuck, 45 kW (60 hp) and 1,500 rpm, the PUMA 5100 B is listed at 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb), which puts this machine's 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb) about 27% lower. Anyone buying mainly for heavy roughing at large diameters should weigh that before choosing the milling version.

Z travel is 2,155 mm (85 in), the same as on the PUMA 5100 LA, although that machine's turning length is 2,082 mm (82 in) against 2,002 mm (79 in) here. 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 5,879 mm (231 in) long, 2,275 mm (90 in) wide and 2,272 mm (89 in) high, and weighs 12,200 kg (26,896 lb). The table for this model gives no Y travel and no spindle bore. DN Solutions markets the PUMA 4100 and PUMA 5100 series for pipe machining and threading, but with no bore figure in this column the through-hole size has to be checked before planning pipe or bar work through the spindle.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

12-station turret with live tools to 4,000 rpm, where the PUMA 5100 B and PUMA 5100 LA list 10 stations and no driven tools
2,002 mm (79 in) of maximum turning length on 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z travel
21 in chuck with a 650 mm (26 in) maximum turning diameter
Main spindle rated 45 kW (60 hp) and 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb)
Machine weight of 12,200 kg (26,896 lb), against 10,600 kg (23,369 lb) for the shorter PUMA 5100 B

Limitations

Spindle torque of 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb) is about 27% below the 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) of the PUMA 5100 B at the same 45 kW (60 hp)
The 1,500 rpm top speed limits surface speed on small diameters; the 15 in PUMA 5100 LA runs to 2,000 rpm
No Y travel is listed for this model, so the live tools work on the centreline plane only
Needs a bay for a machine 5,879 mm (231 in) long and lifting gear for 12,200 kg (26,896 lb)

Best For

Shafts and rolls up to 2,002 mm (79 in) long that also need keyways or cross holes Flanged parts up to 650 mm (26 in) in diameter with bolt patterns drilled in the turning setup Large-diameter work held in a 21 in chuck at up to 1,500 rpm Long parts that are awkward to move to a second machine for a few milled features

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the PUMA 5100 LMB add over the PUMA 5100 B?

Length and driven tools. The PUMA 5100 B has the same 21 in chuck, 45 kW (60 hp) spindle and 1,500 rpm top speed, but a 992 mm (39 in) turning length, 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z travel and a 10-station turret with no live tool speed listed. The PUMA 5100 LMB turns 2,002 mm (79 in) on 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z and has 12 stations with live tools to 4,000 rpm. The PUMA 5100 B keeps the higher torque: 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) against 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb).

02 How large a part can the PUMA 5100 LMB turn?

Up to 650 mm (26 in) in diameter and 2,002 mm (79 in) in length, with 362 mm (14 in) of X travel and 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z travel. The turning-only PUMA 5100 LA uses the same Z travel and diameter and turns slightly longer, 2,082 mm (82 in), with a 15 in chuck.

03 Does the PUMA 5100 LMB have a Y-axis?

Its column of the table lists X and Z travel only, 362 mm (14 in) and 2,155 mm (85 in), and no Y travel is given for this model. Plan on drilling, tapping and milling on the spindle centreline plane, and ask DN Solutions which models carry a Y axis if you need off-centre features.

04 How fast do the spindle and the live tools run?

The main spindle tops out at 1,500 rpm and the live tools at 4,000 rpm. The table states the main spindle's 45 kW (60 hp) and 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb) but no power or torque for the driven tools, so get those ratings before committing to heavy slotting or large drills.

05 How much floor space and lifting capacity does it need?

The machine itself is 5,879 mm (231 in) long, 2,275 mm (90 in) wide and 2,272 mm (89 in) high and weighs 12,200 kg (26,896 lb). Those figures are the machine alone. Allow extra room for chip handling, loading long parts with a crane and service access, none of which the table sizes.
