Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 MB is the standard-bed, 21-inch chuck powerhouse in the 5100 family. It's designed for shops machining the biggest, heaviest chucking work — large forgings, castings, and weldments up to 650 mm (26 in) in diameter — where you need maximum clamping force and torque in a machine that doesn't take up your entire shop floor.
The 45 kW (60 hp) spindle cranks out 2,958 Nm (2,182 ft-lb) of torque, the highest in the standard-bed 5100 lineup. The 21-inch chuck grabs big workpieces with the kind of authority that keeps them locked down during heavy interrupted cuts on rough castings. At 1,500 RPM max, the spindle still delivers well over 2,000 SFM at full swing diameter — plenty for carbide inserts in steel and iron.
Max turning length is 952 mm (37 in) with 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z-axis travel. This is a chucking machine, not a shaft machine. The standard bed keeps the footprint reasonable while the 362 mm (14 in) X-axis travel accommodates the full 26-inch swing. The 12-station turret with 4,000 RPM live tooling handles secondary operations without pulling the part.
At 10,750 kg (23,700 lb), it's the heaviest standard-bed 5100 variant, reflecting the larger spindle assembly and chuck. Box-way construction provides the rigidity and vibration damping that big-bore turning demands. You won't feel flex or chatter when you're taking 4-5 mm depth of cut in gray iron at 300 SFM.
The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control runs the show. It's the same control across every PUMA in the catalog, which makes fleet management and operator training straightforward. For shops focused on large-diameter chucking work — valve bodies, pump housings, large flanges, and heavy fittings — the 5100 MB puts the right combination of grip, power, and rigidity in one package.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,958 Nm (2,182 ft-lb) of torque is the highest in the standard-bed 5100 lineup — built for the heaviest cuts
- 21-inch chuck provides maximum clamping force for large, heavy, and irregular workpieces
- 45 kW (60 hp) spindle won't bog down during aggressive roughing on big-diameter castings
- Standard-bed footprint is more manageable than long-bed variants for space-constrained shops
- Live tooling at 4,000 RPM eliminates secondary setups on large parts that are difficult to re-chuck
- Box-way construction delivers rock-solid rigidity during heavy interrupted cutting
Limitations
- 952 mm max turning length limits shaft work — this is strictly a chucking machine
- 1,500 RPM max spindle speed restricts small-diameter finishing operations
- 21-inch chuck tooling and jaw sets represent a significant additional investment
- 10,750 kg weight still requires reinforced foundation and professional installation
- Overkill for shops that don't regularly handle parts requiring 21-inch chuck capacity

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Not necessarily. The MA's 15-inch chuck and 2,000 RPM spindle are more versatile for a wider range of parts. The MB is specifically for large-diameter chucking work where 21-inch clamping capacity and maximum torque are required. If most of your parts fit in a 15-inch chuck, the MA is the better choice.
02
Gray iron pump housings, ductile iron valve bodies, carbon steel forgings, and stainless steel flanges are common applications. The high torque and 21-inch chuck handle the interrupted cuts and varying depths typical of rough castings. Many shops use the MB as their dedicated rough-and-finish turning station for large cast parts.
03
Yes. The 12-station turret holds both OD and ID tools simultaneously. You can rough and finish the OD, then bore and finish the ID without re-chucking. The 362 mm X-axis travel gives you room for large boring bars. For large-diameter ID work, look into the available anti-vibration boring bar options.
04
The exact bore size depends on the specific spindle configuration ordered with the 21-inch chuck setup. Contact DN Solutions or your local distributor for the current specification. The large-bore spindle option is available for through-bore applications.
