How much does the DN Solutions PUMA 5100 XLB cost?
Estimated price range
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 XLB puts a 21 in chuck and a 45 kW (60 hp) spindle on a bed with 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel. It turns up to 3,042 mm (120 in) in length and 650 mm (26 in) in diameter, with 4,038 N·m (2,978 ft-lb) of spindle torque and a top speed of 1,500 rpm.
Read across the table and the spindle row is all but identical to the PUMA 5100 B, which has the same chuck, power and speed and lists 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb). What changes is the bed. The PUMA 5100 B turns 992 mm (39 in) on 1,105 mm (44 in) of Z travel and weighs 10,600 kg (23,369 lb). The XLB weighs 13,050 kg (28,770 lb).
That pairing of torque and length is what rolls, heavy shafts and long cylinders ask for: low spindle speed, a deep cut and a long Z stroke. The alternative with a 15 in chuck is faster but lighter. The PUMA 5100 LA runs to 2,000 rpm with 37 kW (50 hp) and 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb), so the XLB has about 22% more power and gives up top speed for it.
This is a turning machine in the plain sense. The turret has 10 stations and no live tool speed is listed, and the table shows X and Z travel only, 362 mm (14 in) and 3,150 mm (124 in). Rapids are 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Z.
At 7,059 mm (278 in) long, 2,276 mm (90 in) wide and 2,335 mm (92 in) high, it needs a bay sized for the part as much as the machine. DN Solutions also describes the series as suited to pipe machining and threading. This model's column gives no spindle bore, so confirm it before quoting work that passes through the spindle.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4,038 N·m (2,978 ft-lb) of spindle torque with 45 kW (60 hp)
- 3,042 mm (120 in) of maximum turning length, where the PUMA 5100 B with the same spindle figures turns 992 mm (39 in)
- 21 in chuck and a 650 mm (26 in) maximum turning diameter
- About 22% more spindle power than the 37 kW (50 hp) PUMA 5100 LA
- 13,050 kg (28,770 lb) of machine weight for heavy cuts on long parts
Limitations
- Top speed is 1,500 rpm; the 15 in PUMA 5100 LA reaches 2,000 rpm
- 10-station turret with no live tool speed listed, so no milling or cross drilling
- Machine length of 7,059 mm (278 in) before any allowance for loading long parts
- The table lists no spindle bore, tailstock or steady rest figures for this model

Frequently Asked Questions
01
On the listed figures, yes. Both have a 21 in chuck, 45 kW (60 hp), 1,500 rpm and a 10-station turret, and the torque figures are 4,038 N·m (2,978 ft-lb) here and 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) on the PUMA 5100 B. The PUMA 5100 B turns 992 mm (39 in) and weighs 10,600 kg (23,369 lb). The PUMA 5100 XLB turns 3,042 mm (120 in) and weighs 13,050 kg (28,770 lb).
02
The spindle is listed at 4,038 N·m (2,978 ft-lb) and 45 kW (60 hp), with a maximum of 1,500 rpm. The table gives the peak figures only. It does not say at what speed full torque is available or how the ranges are geared, so ask for the spindle power and torque diagram if the work is roughing at the low end.
03
Neither is in its column of the table. The turret is listed with 10 stations, there is no live tool speed, and travel is given for X and Z only. Keyways, flats and cross holes on a shaft turned here are work for a second operation, which on a part up to 3,042 mm (120 in) long means a mill with the bed to hold it.
04
Three things follow from the figures. The floor has to carry 13,050 kg (28,770 lb) plus the part. The bay has to take a machine 7,059 mm (278 in) long and 2,276 mm (90 in) wide with crane access over the work zone. And support for long parts, meaning tailstock and steady rests, is not described in the table, so it has to be specified in the order.
