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 XLMA is a long-shaft turning center with driven tools. It has 3,068 mm (121 in) of maximum turning length on 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel, a 15 in chuck, a 2,000 rpm spindle and a 12-station turret whose live tools run to 4,000 rpm. Maximum turning diameter is 650 mm (26 in).
A shaft of this length is the part a shop least wants to move. Getting it out of the lathe, onto a mill long enough to hold it, and indicated in again for a keyway or a pair of cross holes can take longer than the cut. That is the case for this model: the milled and drilled features are added while the shaft is still set up for turning.
The main spindle is rated 37 kW (50 hp) and 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb). The turning-only PUMA 5100 LA shares the 15 in chuck, 2,000 rpm and 37 kW (50 hp) but lists 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb), so the milling version has about 26% less torque. On slender shafts that rarely limits the cut, because the part deflects before the spindle runs out of torque. On a 650 mm (26 in) diameter it would.
For the live tools the table gives a speed and nothing else. There is no driven-tool power figure and no Y travel for this model, which means slots and holes on the centreline plane are the safe assumption and anything off-centre needs to be confirmed. Support for the shaft is in the same position: no tailstock or steady rest details are listed.
X travel is 362 mm (14 in), and rapids are 16 m/min (630 ipm) in X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) in Z. The machine is 7,059 mm (278 in) long, 2,276 mm (90 in) wide and 2,335 mm (92 in) high, and weighs 12,700 kg (27,999 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Live tools at up to 4,000 rpm on a machine that turns 3,068 mm (121 in) between setups
- 2,000 rpm main spindle with a 15 in chuck for moderate diameters
- 12 turret stations, against 10 on the turning-only PUMA 5100 LA
- 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel and a 650 mm (26 in) maximum turning diameter
- Milled and drilled features are added without moving a long shaft to a second machine
Limitations
- 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb) of spindle torque, about 26% less than the 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb) of the PUMA 5100 LA
- 37 kW (50 hp); the PUMA 5100 B with a 21 in chuck has 45 kW (60 hp)
- No Y travel and no driven-tool power are listed for this model
- Tailstock and steady rest details for long shafts are not in the table
- 7,059 mm (278 in) long and 12,700 kg (27,999 lb) to place and lift

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table does not explain it, it only shows it. The PUMA 5100 LA lists 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb) and the PUMA 5100 XLMA lists 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb), both with a 15 in chuck, 2,000 rpm and 37 kW (50 hp). If the work includes heavy roughing at large diameter, ask DN Solutions for the spindle torque diagram of each before choosing.
02
With a top speed of 4,000 rpm and no Y travel listed for this model, the dependable cases are cross holes through the centreline, keyways and slots cut on the centreline plane, and drilled or tapped holes in the end face. The table gives no power or torque for the driven tools, so the size of cutter they will carry is a question for DN Solutions.
03
Maximum turning length is 3,068 mm (121 in) and Z travel is 3,150 mm (124 in). Maximum turning diameter is 650 mm (26 in) with 362 mm (14 in) of X travel. The shorter PUMA 5100 LA, with the same chuck size and turning diameter, turns 2,082 mm (82 in) on 2,155 mm (85 in) of Z travel.
04
12,700 kg (27,999 lb), in an envelope 7,059 mm (278 in) long, 2,276 mm (90 in) wide and 2,335 mm (92 in) high. The length is the figure to plan around, together with crane coverage over the work zone for loading shafts close to the full turning length.
