Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 5100LYB sits between its two bed-mates on spindle choice: a 21 in chuck and a 1,500 rpm spindle rated 45 kW (60 hp) and 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb), on a Y-axis machine with 2,100 mm (83 in) of Z travel.

The PUMA 5100 LYA is the faster option at 2,000 rpm with 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb), and the PUMA 5100 LYC is the slower one at 1,000 rpm with 3,269 N·m (2,411 ft-lb). The LYB's 1,500 rpm and 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb) land in the middle, with the same 45 kW (60 hp) motor rating as the PUMA 5100 LYC. For a shop whose parts range from mid-size shafts to work near the 550 mm (22 in) maximum turning diameter, that middle setting avoids the worst of either compromise.

Y travel is 150 mm (6 in), next to 355 mm (14 in) of X. The 12-station turret drives live tools to 4,000 rpm, so with the Y stroke a cutter can be offset from the centerline for keyways, flats and off-center holes. That stroke is less than half the X travel, and it sets how far off center a feature can sit before the part needs a second setup.

Maximum turning length is 2,020 mm (80 in). Rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 18 m/min (709 ipm) in Z, with no Y rapid given. The machine is 5,980 mm (235 in) long, 2,522 mm (99 in) wide and 2,885 mm (114 in) high and weighs 13,000 kg (28,660 lb). If the parts are longer, the PUMA 5100 XLYA has 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel with a 15 in chuck.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

150 mm (6 in) of Y travel with live tools running to 4,000 rpm on a 12-station turret
2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb) from a 45 kW (60 hp) spindle, about 22% more torque than the PUMA 5100 LYA
21 in chuck for a 550 mm (22 in) maximum turning diameter
1,500 rpm top speed, faster than the 1,000 rpm PUMA 5100 LYC

Limitations

Maximum turning length of 2,020 mm (80 in); longer shafts need the PUMA 5100 XLYA with its 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z
Lower torque than the PUMA 5100 LYC's 3,269 N·m (2,411 ft-lb)
Z rapid is 18 m/min (709 ipm), slower than the 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X, on the axis with the longest moves
2,885 mm (114 in) high and 13,000 kg (28,660 lb): check headroom and floor loading

Best For

Mid-to-large diameter shafts up to 2,020 mm (80 in) with milled features Y-axis keyway, flat and off-center hole work within 150 mm (6 in) Mixed part families needing both torque and 1,500 rpm Parts gripped in a 21 in chuck and finished in one setup

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Where does the PUMA 5100LYB fit between the PUMA 5100 LYA and PUMA 5100 LYC?

In the middle on speed and torque. The PUMA 5100 LYA lists 2,000 rpm, 37 kW (50 hp) and 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb) with a 15 in chuck. The PUMA 5100 LYC lists 1,000 rpm, 45 kW (60 hp) and 3,269 N·m (2,411 ft-lb). The PUMA 5100LYB lists 1,500 rpm, 45 kW (60 hp) and 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb) with a 21 in chuck. All three have 2,100 mm (83 in) of Z travel and a 13,000 kg (28,660 lb) weight.

02 What is the Y-axis travel of the PUMA 5100LYB?

150 mm (6 in). X travel is 355 mm (14 in) and Z travel is 2,100 mm (83 in). Use the 150 mm (6 in) figure when checking whether an off-center feature can be reached with a driven tool. The table gives no rapid rate for the Y axis and no live tool power, so ask for both if milling time is a large share of the cycle.

03 How fast are the axes and the live tools?

Rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 18 m/min (709 ipm) in Z. The table gives no rapid rate for Y. Live tools run to 4,000 rpm, and the main spindle to 1,500 rpm. Live tool power and torque are not listed.

04 Is there a longer machine with the same Y travel?

Yes. The PUMA 5100 XLYA lists 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel and a 3,070 mm (121 in) maximum turning length with the same 150 mm (6 in) of Y travel, but it has a 15 in chuck and weighs 16,000 kg (35,274 lb). The PUMA 5100LYB turns up to 2,020 mm (80 in).
