Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 MA is a milling-turret turning center with a 15 in chuck and a 2,000 rpm spindle on a frame that swings large parts: maximum turning diameter is 650 mm (26 in) and maximum turning length 992 mm (39 in). The turret has 12 stations and its live tools run to 4,000 rpm.
Put its figures beside the PUMA 4100 B and the reasoning behind the model shows. Both have a 15 in chuck and 2,000 rpm, and their torque figures are close, 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb) here against 2,379 N·m (1,755 ft-lb), but the PUMA 4100 B stops at 550 mm (22 in) of turning diameter and has a 10-station turret with no live tool speed listed. The PUMA 5100 MA gives a shop the bigger envelope and driven tools without stepping down to a slower spindle.
The slower alternative is the PUMA 5100 B with its 21 in chuck. The PUMA 5100 B lists 45 kW (60 hp), 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) and 1,500 rpm, where this model has 37 kW (50 hp), so the choice comes down to the diameters cut most often. Small journals, bores and bar-sized features want the higher speed. Deep roughing near the full 650 mm (26 in) wants the larger spindle.
Milling capacity is described by a single figure, the 4,000 rpm live tool speed. No driven-tool power and no Y travel are given for this model, so count on drilling, tapping and slotting on the centreline plane and ask DN Solutions for the live tool ratings before quoting anything heavier.
X travel is 362 mm (14 in) and Z travel 1,105 mm (44 in), with rapids of 16 m/min (630 ipm) and 20 m/min (787 ipm). The machine is 4,759 mm (187 in) long, 2,056 mm (81 in) wide and 2,194 mm (86 in) high and weighs 10,250 kg (22,597 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,000 rpm spindle with a 15 in chuck, faster than the 1,500 rpm of the 21 in PUMA 5100 B
- 650 mm (26 in) maximum turning diameter, against 550 mm (22 in) on the PUMA 4100 B with the same chuck size and speed
- 12 turret stations with live tools running to 4,000 rpm
- 37 kW (50 hp) and 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb) at the main spindle
- At 10,250 kg (22,597 lb) it is lighter than the PUMA 5100 B at 10,600 kg (23,369 lb)
Limitations
- 37 kW (50 hp) against the 45 kW (60 hp) of the PUMA 5100 B, and 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb) against its 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb)
- Turning length stops at 992 mm (39 in); the PUMA 5100 LA reaches 2,082 mm (82 in)
- No Y travel is listed for this model, so off-centre milling is not covered by the table
- The table gives the live tools a speed but no power or torque rating

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Decide by diameter and by whether you need driven tools. The PUMA 5100 MA runs to 2,000 rpm with 37 kW (50 hp) and has live tools at 4,000 rpm. The PUMA 5100 B has a 21 in chuck, 1,500 rpm, 45 kW (60 hp) and 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb), with a 10-station turret and no live tool speed listed. Both turn 650 mm (26 in) by 992 mm (39 in).
02
Chuck size and top speed match: 15 in and 2,000 rpm. The PUMA 4100 B has 35 kW (47 hp), 2,379 N·m (1,755 ft-lb), a 550 mm (22 in) turning diameter, 352 mm (14 in) of X travel and weighs 9,950 kg (21,936 lb). The PUMA 5100 MA has 37 kW (50 hp), 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb), a 650 mm (26 in) turning diameter, 362 mm (14 in) of X travel and a 12-station live-tool turret.
03
The table states one thing about them: a top speed of 4,000 rpm. That suits drills, taps and small to medium end mills. It lists no Y travel for this model and no driven-tool power, so features off the centreline and heavy milling cuts should be checked with DN Solutions against the actual turret specification.
04
X travel is 362 mm (14 in) at 16 m/min (630 ipm) and Z travel is 1,105 mm (44 in) at 20 m/min (787 ipm). Maximum turning length is 992 mm (39 in), a little less than the Z travel, and maximum turning diameter is 650 mm (26 in).
05
It measures 4,759 mm (187 in) in length, 2,056 mm (81 in) in width and 2,194 mm (86 in) in height, and the machine weighs 10,250 kg (22,597 lb). Check the floor loading and the crane or forklift route for that weight before delivery.
