Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 XLMB brings three things together: a 21 in chuck, a bed with 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel, and a 12-station turret with live tools. Maximum turning length is 3,028 mm (119 in) and maximum turning diameter 650 mm (26 in). At 13,200 kg (29,101 lb) it outweighs the PUMA 5100 B, with the same chuck, by a wide margin; that machine is 10,600 kg (23,369 lb).

The main spindle has 45 kW (60 hp) and tops out at 1,500 rpm. Torque is listed at 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb). The turning-only PUMA 5100 B, with identical power and speed, is listed at 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb), so the buyer of this model accepts roughly 27% less torque in exchange for the milling turret. Whether that matters depends on the part: finishing passes and moderate roughing on a long roll will not notice, full-depth roughing near the maximum diameter will.

The live tools run to 4,000 rpm. Typical uses on work this size are keyed journals on rolls, drive slots on large shaft ends and bolt circles on flanged shafts. Only the speed is stated. Driven-tool power is absent from the table and so is Y travel for this model, which leaves the centreline plane as the working assumption.

Geometry is consistent with the turning diameter: 362 mm (14 in) of X travel is more than half of 650 mm (26 in), so tools reach the centre of a full-diameter face. 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. How a long, heavy part is supported and how much it may weigh are not in the table and should be fixed before ordering.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

21 in chuck, 3,028 mm (119 in) of turning length and driven tools in one machine
45 kW (60 hp) at the main spindle
Live tool speed of 4,000 rpm in a 12-station turret
3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel with a 20 m/min (787 ipm) rapid
13,200 kg (29,101 lb) machine weight, against 10,600 kg (23,369 lb) for the PUMA 5100 B

Limitations

2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb), about 27% below the 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb) of the turning-only PUMA 5100 B
1,500 rpm ceiling; the PUMA 5100 LA with a 15 in chuck runs to 2,000 rpm
Y travel is not listed for this model and neither is driven-tool power
Workpiece weight, tailstock and steady rest figures are missing from the table
Needs a bay for 7,059 mm (278 in) of machine length and a crane rated for long, heavy parts

Best For

Rolls up to 3,028 mm (119 in) long with keyed or slotted journals Flanged shafts up to 650 mm (26 in) in diameter with drilled bolt circles Large, long parts that would otherwise need a second setup on a big mill Turning at up to 1,500 rpm with 45 kW (60 hp) where full torque is not the limit

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How much torque is lost by taking the live-tool version?

The PUMA 5100 XLMB lists 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb). The PUMA 5100 B, turning-only with the same 21 in chuck, 45 kW (60 hp) and 1,500 rpm, lists 4,041 N·m (2,980 ft-lb). That is about 27% less on this model. Power is equal, so the difference shows at low speed and large diameter.

02 What is the turning envelope of the PUMA 5100 XLMB?

650 mm (26 in) maximum turning diameter and 3,028 mm (119 in) maximum turning length. X travel is 362 mm (14 in) and Z travel 3,150 mm (124 in). The chuck is listed as 21 in.

03 Is there a Y-axis on the PUMA 5100 XLMB?

Not according to its column of the table, which gives X and Z travel and a live tool speed but no Y travel. With 362 mm (14 in) of X and 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z as the only travels, the driven tools cut on the centreline plane. If the journals or flanges need offset features, raise that with DN Solutions before choosing this model.

04 Can pipe go through the spindle?

The series description speaks of machining solutions for a wide range of pipes, aimed at threading, but it is a statement about the PUMA 4100 and PUMA 5100 series as a whole. No bore figure is listed for this model. Before planning through-spindle work, get the bore of the spindle fitted to the PUMA 5100 XLMB, which carries a 21 in chuck.

05 What does it take to install the PUMA 5100 XLMB?

A floor that carries 13,200 kg (29,101 lb) plus the workpiece, and space for a machine 7,059 mm (278 in) long, 2,276 mm (90 in) wide and 2,335 mm (92 in) high. Leave room at the front or end for loading parts near the 3,028 mm (119 in) turning length.
