Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
With a 21 in chuck, a 45 kW (60 hp) spindle and a 12-station live-tool turret, the DN Solutions PUMA 5100 MB is aimed at large-diameter chucking work that needs drilling or milling in the same clamping. Maximum turning diameter is 650 mm (26 in) and maximum turning length is 952 mm (37 in).
The useful comparison is the PUMA 5100 B, the turning-only machine with the same chuck, power and 1,500 rpm top speed. Adding the milling turret changes three rows. Stations go from 10 on the PUMA 5100 B to 12. Turning length drops from 992 mm (39 in) on the PUMA 5100 B to 952 mm (37 in), on an unchanged 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z travel. And spindle torque is listed at 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb) instead of the 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) of the PUMA 5100 B, which leaves the turning-only machine with about 37% more torque for heavy cuts.
The live tools turn at up to 4,000 rpm. On a part this size that usually means bolt circles on a flange face, tapped holes in a hub or a keyway in a bore, work that otherwise needs a second setup on a machine big enough to hold the part. The table states neither the driven-tool power nor a Y travel for this model, so off-centre milling and heavy slotting have to be confirmed with DN Solutions, not assumed.
X travel is 362 mm (14 in), comfortably more than half the 650 mm (26 in) turning diameter, so the turret can reach the centre of a full-size part. Rapids are 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Z. The machine is 4,759 mm (187 in) long, 2,056 mm (81 in) wide and 2,194 mm (86 in) high, and it weighs 10,750 kg (23,700 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 21 in chuck and a 45 kW (60 hp) main spindle on a machine that also has driven tools
- Live tools to 4,000 rpm in a 12-station turret; the PUMA 5100 B has 10 stations and no live tool speed listed
- 650 mm (26 in) maximum turning diameter with 362 mm (14 in) of X travel
- Same 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z travel and 20 m/min (787 ipm) Z rapid as the turning-only PUMA 5100 B
Limitations
- Torque is 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb); the turning-only PUMA 5100 B lists 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) with the same power and speed
- Maximum turning length of 952 mm (37 in) is shorter than the 992 mm (39 in) of the PUMA 5100 B
- Top speed of 1,500 rpm holds back surface speed on small diameters
- No Y travel and no driven-tool power are listed for this model

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Torque and a little length. The PUMA 5100 B lists 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) and a 992 mm (39 in) turning length. The PUMA 5100 MB lists 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb) and 952 mm (37 in). Chuck size, 45 kW (60 hp), 1,500 rpm, travels and rapids are the same. In return the PUMA 5100 MB has 12 stations and live tools at 4,000 rpm.
02
It covers short shafts, but this is a chucking-oriented machine: 952 mm (37 in) of turning length against a 650 mm (26 in) turning diameter. If the parts are longer, the PUMA 5100 LA turns 2,082 mm (82 in) on 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z travel, though with a 15 in chuck, 37 kW (50 hp) and no live tools listed.
03
The table for this model lists X and Z travel and a 4,000 rpm live tool speed, with no Y travel. On those figures the driven tools drill and mill on the plane through the spindle centre, which covers bolt circles, radial holes and keyways. Treat off-centre flats and pockets as something to verify for this exact model before ordering.
04
The table does not answer that. DN Solutions presents the PUMA 4100 and PUMA 5100 series as offering pipe-machining solutions aimed at threading, but this model's column gives a 21 in chuck size and no spindle bore. Ask for the through-hole diameter of the PUMA 5100 MB itself before quoting pipe work.
