Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 LYC is the low-speed, high-torque spindle choice on DN's turn-mill lathe with 2,100 mm (83 in) of Z travel: 1,000 rpm, 45 kW (60 hp) and 3,269 N·m (2,411 ft-lb), with a 12-station turret and 4,000 rpm live tools.

Compare it with the PUMA 5100 LYA to see what the spindle change buys. The PUMA 5100 LYA runs to 2,000 rpm on 37 kW (50 hp) and 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb), so the LYC has about 34% more torque and 22% more power at half the top speed. Most of the rest of the two columns matches: 355 mm (14 in) of X travel, a 550 mm (22 in) maximum turning diameter, the turret, the live tool speed and the 13,000 kg (28,660 lb) weight. Maximum turning length is 2,020 mm (80 in), a little under the PUMA 5100 LYA's 2,050 mm (81 in).

A 1,000 rpm limit is a real restriction. It suits large diameters in tough materials, interrupted cuts and coarse threading, where torque matters and surface speed is easy to reach. It does not suit a shaft with small journals, which will be turned well below the speed the insert wants. DN Solutions' table gives no chuck size for the LYC, unlike the PUMA 5100 LYA with its 15 in chuck, and no spindle bore. The series is promoted for pipe machining and threading, so if that is the application, confirm the bore and the workholding supplied on this model.

Milling is by 4,000 rpm live tools. No Y travel figure appears in this model's column, although the longer PUMA 5100 XLYA lists 150 mm (6 in), so the stroke on the LYC is a point to settle with DN Solutions. Rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 18 m/min (709 ipm) in Z, and the machine measures 5,980 × 2,522 × 2,885 mm (235 × 99 × 114 in) as length, width and height.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

3,269 N·m (2,411 ft-lb) of spindle torque, about 34% more than the PUMA 5100 LYA's 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb)
45 kW (60 hp) spindle motor against 37 kW (50 hp) on the PUMA 5100 LYA
12-station turret with 4,000 rpm live tools for drilling and milling in the turning setup
2,100 mm (83 in) of Z travel with a 2,020 mm (80 in) maximum turning length

Limitations

Spindle speed is limited to 1,000 rpm, half that of the PUMA 5100 LYA
No chuck size and no spindle bore in DN Solutions' table for this model
No Y travel figure in this model's column
13,000 kg (28,660 lb) and 2,885 mm (114 in) of height to accommodate

Best For

Large-diameter work in tough materials at low spindle speed Heavy roughing with 3,269 N·m (2,411 ft-lb) available Coarse threading and interrupted cuts on parts up to 2,020 mm (80 in) long Big parts that also need drilled or milled features from 4,000 rpm live tools

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why choose the PUMA 5100 LYC over the PUMA 5100 LYA?

For torque. The PUMA 5100 LYC lists 3,269 N·m (2,411 ft-lb) and 45 kW (60 hp), against 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb) and 37 kW (50 hp) on the PUMA 5100 LYA. The trade is speed: 1,000 rpm instead of the PUMA 5100 LYA's 2,000 rpm. If most of the work is large diameter and heavy stock removal, the LYC fits. If the part mix includes small diameters, the faster spindle is the safer choice.

02 What chuck does the PUMA 5100 LYC use?

The table does not say. DN Solutions lists a 15 in chuck for the PUMA 5100 LYA but leaves that row out for the LYC, and it gives no spindle bore either. The maximum turning diameter is 550 mm (22 in). Ask for the spindle nose, bore and chuck in the quotation, particularly for pipe work.

03 Does the PUMA 5100 LYC have a Y axis?

DN Solutions groups it with its Y-axis turning centers, but this model's column lists only X travel of 355 mm (14 in) and Z travel of 2,100 mm (83 in). The longer PUMA 5100 XLYA does list a Y travel, 150 mm (6 in), but that figure belongs to its own column. Get the Y stroke for the LYC confirmed in the quotation before planning off-center milling.

04 How large and heavy is the machine?

It 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). The PUMA 5100 XLYA, with 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel, weighs 16,000 kg (35,274 lb).
