Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 LYA is a heavy turn-mill lathe with a 15 in chuck, 2,100 mm (83 in) of Z travel and a 12-station turret with 4,000 rpm live tools. The spindle runs to 2,000 rpm on 37 kW (50 hp) and 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb).

DN Solutions groups this model with its Y-axis turning centers, yet the column for the LYA itself lists X travel of 355 mm (14 in) and Z travel, with no Y figure. The longer PUMA 5100 XLYA, which shares this spindle and turret, lists 150 mm (6 in) of Y travel. That is the nearest published reference, not a figure for the LYA, so a buyer who needs a particular Y stroke should have it confirmed in writing for this model.

Capacity is a 550 mm (22 in) maximum turning diameter and a 2,050 mm (81 in) maximum turning length. Spindle torque is close to that of the two-axis PUMA 4100 B, which lists 2,379 N·m (1,755 ft-lb) at the same 2,000 rpm and chuck size, so the driven tools here do not come at the expense of turning torque. Where more is needed, the PUMA 5100 LYC with the same travels lists 3,269 N·m (2,411 ft-lb), about 34% more, with a 1,000 rpm limit.

The rapid rates are arranged differently from the smaller series. On the PUMA 4100 B, Z is the faster axis at 20 m/min (787 ipm) against 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X. On the LYA, X rapids at 20 m/min (787 ipm) and Z at 18 m/min (709 ipm). The machine is 5,980 mm (235 in) long and 2,522 mm (99 in) wide, stands 2,885 mm (114 in) high and weighs 13,000 kg (28,660 lb), so check door and crane-hook height as well as floor area.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

12-station turret with 4,000 rpm live tools on 2,100 mm (83 in) of Z travel
2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb) and 37 kW (50 hp) at up to 2,000 rpm, in line with the two-axis PUMA 4100 B's 2,379 N·m (1,755 ft-lb)
20 m/min (787 ipm) X rapid and 18 m/min (709 ipm) Z rapid
15 in chuck with a 550 mm (22 in) maximum turning diameter and 2,050 mm (81 in) turning length

Limitations

This model's column gives no Y travel figure, where the longer PUMA 5100 XLYA lists 150 mm (6 in); the stroke has to be confirmed before off-center work is quoted
2,885 mm (114 in) of height and 13,000 kg (28,660 lb) make rigging and headroom a real constraint
Z travel stops at 2,100 mm (83 in); the PUMA 5100 XLYA extends it to 3,150 mm (124 in)
Live tool power and torque are not listed in the table

Best For

Shafts up to 2,050 mm (81 in) long that need milling and drilling as well as turning Mixed turning and driven-tool work in a 15 in chuck General heavy turning at up to 2,000 rpm with 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb) Parts up to 550 mm (22 in) in diameter finished in one setup

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How much Y-axis travel does the PUMA 5100 LYA have?

DN Solutions' table for this model does not state it. The column lists X travel of 355 mm (14 in) and Z travel of 2,100 mm (83 in). The related PUMA 5100 XLYA, with the same spindle and turret on a longer bed, lists 150 mm (6 in) of Y travel, which is a reference point and not a figure for this model. Ask DN Solutions to confirm the stroke for the LYA before quoting work that depends on it.

02 What is the difference between the PUMA 5100 LYA and the PUMA 5100 LYC?

The spindle. The PUMA 5100 LYA has a 15 in chuck and a 2,000 rpm spindle rated 37 kW (50 hp) and 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb). The PUMA 5100 LYC is limited to 1,000 rpm but lists 45 kW (60 hp) and 3,269 N·m (2,411 ft-lb), with a maximum turning length of 2,020 mm (80 in) against 2,050 mm (81 in) here. Travels, turret, live tool speed and machine weight are the same in both columns.

03 How does it compare with the PUMA 5100 XLYA?

The PUMA 5100 XLYA is the longer machine: 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel, a 3,070 mm (121 in) maximum turning length and a weight of 16,000 kg (35,274 lb). The PUMA 5100 LYA has 2,100 mm (83 in) of Z, turns 2,050 mm (81 in) and weighs 13,000 kg (28,660 lb). Chuck size, spindle speed, power, torque and the 12-station live turret are the same.

04 What are the installation dimensions?

Length 5,980 mm (235 in), width 2,522 mm (99 in) and height 2,885 mm (114 in), with a machine weight of 13,000 kg (28,660 lb). The height deserves a second look: confirm the clearance under doors, crane hooks and overhead services on the route into the shop.
