Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 XLYA is the extra-long-bed, 15-inch chuck Y-axis variant in the PUMA 5100 heavy-duty platform. It combines the XLMA's 3,150 mm Z-axis travel with a programmable Y-axis, creating the longest Y-axis-equipped 5100 with the smaller chuck option. When you need to turn and mill features on shafts and components approaching 3 meters long at 26-inch swing, this is the machine.

The spindle delivers 37 kW (50 hp) with 2,432 Nm (1,794 ft-lb) of torque at up to 2,000 RPM through a 15-inch chuck. Max turning length reaches 3,068 mm (121 in) — nearly 10 feet of usable turning space. The 2,000 RPM ceiling provides the best surface speed flexibility in the 5100 Y-axis range, making the XLYA versatile across a range of diameters.

The Y-axis provides +/-80 mm (160 mm total, 6.3 in) of off-center travel. With 4,000 RPM live tooling on the 12-station turret and C-axis control, you can mill keyways at multiple positions along a 3-meter shaft, drill off-center bolt patterns on flanges, and tap holes — all without unclamping a workpiece that might weigh 1,000 kg. The productivity gain from eliminating crane moves and secondary setups on parts this long is enormous.

X-axis travel is 362 mm (14 in). Rapids run 16 m/min on X, 20 m/min on Z, and 8 m/min on Y. Box-way construction across the full 3+ meter bed maintains rigidity from chuck to tailstock. At 13,100 kg (28,881 lb), this is a heavy machine that requires serious foundation planning.

The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control handles the multi-axis coordination. The XLYA fills the gap for shops that need both extra-long bed turning and Y-axis capability with the 15-inch chuck speed advantage. Specs sourced from DN Solutions published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • 3,068 mm turning length with Y-axis — machines shafts approaching 10 feet with off-center features in one setup
  • 2,000 RPM spindle speed offers the best surface speed flexibility in the 5100 Y-axis lineup
  • 160 mm Y-axis travel enables off-center milling along the full extra-long bed
  • 15-inch chuck balances clamping force with speed versatility for a range of diameters
  • 13,100 kg mass and box-way construction maintain rigidity across the 3+ meter bed
  • Eliminates the most time-consuming secondary setups on very long, heavy parts

Limitations

  • 7+ meter machine length requires significant dedicated floor space
  • 13,100 kg demands heavy-duty foundation preparation
  • 2,000 RPM ceiling still limits high-speed work on small-diameter features
  • Higher cost than the XLMA for the added Y-axis capability

Best For

Power generation shops machining long turbine shafts with keyways and bolt patterns at multiple positions Marine manufacturers producing propeller shafts and drive shafts with off-center milled features Mining equipment builders turning long crusher shafts and rollers with keyways Oil and gas shops machining long tubular components with milled features along the length Any heavy industry application needing 10-foot turning length with Y-axis mill-turn capability

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the PUMA 5100 XLYA compare to the XLMA?

Same spindle, chuck, and bed length. The XLYA adds a 160 mm Y-axis for off-center milling. The XLMA offers C-axis milling only. If your long parts have off-center features, the XLYA eliminates secondary VMC operations.

02 Should I choose the XLYA or the XLYB?

The XLYA uses a 15-inch chuck at 2,000 RPM with 2,432 Nm torque. The XLYB steps up to 21-inch chuck at 1,500 RPM with 2,958 Nm torque and a more powerful 45 kW spindle. Choose the XLYA when your parts fit within the 15-inch grip and you need higher RPM flexibility.

03 What does a PUMA 5100 XLYA cost?

New machines run $305,000-$395,000 depending on options. The extra-long bed with Y-axis is among the most expensive configurations in the 5100 range. The investment is justified for shops with consistent volume of long mill-turn parts.

04 Do I need multiple steady rests?

For slender shafts using the full 3-meter turning length, multiple steady rests may be necessary. DN Solutions offers hydraulic steady rest options designed for the 5100 XL-series. Your applications engineer will recommend positioning based on your workpiece geometry.
