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
The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 XLA is a two-axis turning center for long shafts: 3,082 mm (121 in) of maximum turning length and 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel, with a 15 in chuck. Maximum turning diameter is 650 mm (26 in), and the spindle runs to 2,000 rpm with 37 kW (50 hp) and 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb).
Its spindle figures are those of the PUMA 5100 LA, which has the same 15 in chuck, 2,000 rpm, 37 kW (50 hp) and 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb) but turns 2,082 mm (82 in) on 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z travel. The XLA is that machine on a longer bed, and the bed shows in the weight: 12,550 kg (27,668 lb) against 11,550 kg (25,463 lb) for the PUMA 5100 LA.
A 15 in chuck and 2,000 rpm point at slender work, such as drive shafts, hydraulic rods and screw blanks, where diameters are moderate and surface speed matters more than torque. Parts that long and thin need support along their length, and the table says nothing about a tailstock or steady rests, so those belong in the quotation discussion. For roughing at large diameter the 21 in machines are the stronger choice: the PUMA 5100 B lists 45 kW (60 hp) and 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) at 1,500 rpm.
The turret has 10 stations and no live tool speed is listed, so milled features and cross holes are done on another machine. X travel is 362 mm (14 in). Rapids are 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Z, and with this much Z travel it pays to program tool changes close to the cut instead of sending the turret home each time.
Siting is the main practical question. The machine is 7,059 mm (278 in) long, 2,276 mm (90 in) wide and 2,335 mm (92 in) high, and a shaft near full length has to be craned in from the front or the end, so plan the bay around the part as well as the machine.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 3,082 mm (121 in) maximum turning length on 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel
- 2,000 rpm top speed, against 1,500 rpm on the 21 in PUMA 5100 B
- 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb) and 37 kW (50 hp), the same spindle figures as the PUMA 5100 LA
- 650 mm (26 in) maximum turning diameter with 362 mm (14 in) of X travel
- Machine weight of 12,550 kg (27,668 lb), against 11,550 kg (25,463 lb) for the PUMA 5100 LA
Limitations
- No live tool speed is listed and the turret has 10 stations: this is a turning-only machine
- 37 kW (50 hp), where the PUMA 5100 B has 45 kW (60 hp) and 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb)
- The 15 in chuck is smaller than the 21 in chuck of the PUMA 5100 B
- A 7,059 mm (278 in) machine length needs a long bay plus room to load the shaft
- The table gives no tailstock, steady rest or workpiece weight figures for long parts

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Only in length and weight. Both have a 15 in chuck, 2,000 rpm, 37 kW (50 hp), 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb), a 10-station turret and a 650 mm (26 in) turning diameter. The PUMA 5100 LA turns 2,082 mm (82 in) on 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z travel and weighs 11,550 kg (25,463 lb). The PUMA 5100 XLA turns 3,082 mm (121 in) on 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel and weighs 12,550 kg (27,668 lb).
02
No live tool speed appears in its column of the table, and the turret is listed with 10 stations, so it should be treated as a turning-only machine. Drilling and boring on the spindle centreline are ordinary turret operations. Keyways, flats and cross holes need a second machine or one of the live-tool models in the series.
03
The table does not say. It gives 3,082 mm (121 in) of turning length and 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel but no tailstock, steady rest or maximum workpiece weight figures. A shaft near that length needs all three settled before the order, so ask DN Solutions for them along with the quotation.
04
DN Solutions heads the series page with 12, 15 and 21 in chucks. This model's own column lists 15 in. The 21 in machines pair the larger chuck with a slower, stronger spindle; the PUMA 5100 B, for example, lists 1,500 rpm and 45 kW (60 hp).
05
The machine is 7,059 mm (278 in) long, 2,276 mm (90 in) wide and 2,335 mm (92 in) high and weighs 12,550 kg (27,668 lb). Add clearance for loading: a part close to the 3,082 mm (121 in) turning length has to be lowered in by crane, which decides how the machine is placed in the bay.
