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 XLYB pairs a 21 in chuck with a Y-axis turret and 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel. Its spindle is rated 45 kW (60 hp) and 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb) with a 1,500 rpm limit, the turret has 12 stations, and the live tools run to 4,000 rpm.

This is the configuration for large, heavy parts that also carry milled detail: big shafts with keyways and flats, rolls with drive features, heavy spindles. The 21 in chuck is nearly as large as the 550 mm (22 in) maximum turning diameter, so the machine is meant to grip big stock, and 150 mm (6 in) of Y travel lets a driven tool work off the centerline once the turning is done.

Against the PUMA 5100 XLYA, which has a 15 in chuck and 37 kW (50 hp) with 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb) at 2,000 rpm, the XLYB has about 22% more torque and loses a quarter of the top speed. Maximum turning length drops slightly, from 3,070 mm (121 in) on the PUMA 5100 XLYA to 3,040 mm (120 in). Buyers weighing it against a plain two-axis lathe should note that the PUMA 4100 C, also a 21 in, 1,500 rpm machine, lists 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb): more torque than the XLYB, and from a 37 kW (50 hp) motor. The Y-axis machine is not automatically the stronger rougher.

DN Solutions lists rapid traverse as a single 20 m/min (787 ipm) figure. The machine weighs 16,000 kg (35,274 lb) and measures 7,302 × 2,632 × 2,937 mm (287 × 104 × 116 in) in length, width and height. The Y stroke is less than half of the 355 mm (14 in) X travel, which suits keyways, flats and off-center holes more than wide milled faces.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

21 in chuck together with 150 mm (6 in) of Y travel and 4,000 rpm live tools
45 kW (60 hp) and 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb), about 22% more torque than the PUMA 5100 XLYA
3,150 mm (124 in) of Z travel with a 3,040 mm (120 in) maximum turning length
12-station turret, two more than the 10 stations of the PUMA 4100 C

Limitations

1,500 rpm maximum spindle speed, against 2,000 rpm on the PUMA 5100 XLYA
Less spindle torque than the two-axis PUMA 4100 C, which lists 3,280 N·m (2,419 ft-lb)
16,000 kg (35,274 lb) machine weight and a height of 2,937 mm (116 in)
Only one rapid traverse figure is published, and no live tool power

Best For

Large-diameter shafts and rolls that need Y-axis milling Heavy parts gripped in a 21 in chuck, up to 3,040 mm (120 in) long Roughing with 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb) followed by milling in the same setup Off-center drilling and keyway work within 150 mm (6 in) of Y

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the PUMA 5100 XLYB a better rougher than the PUMA 5100 XLYA?

At large diameters the figures say yes. The PUMA 5100 XLYB lists 45 kW (60 hp) and 2,958 N·m (2,182 ft-lb) against 37 kW (50 hp) and 2,432 N·m (1,794 ft-lb) on the PUMA 5100 XLYA. The PUMA 5100 XLYA answers with 2,000 rpm instead of 1,500 rpm and a slightly longer maximum turning length, 3,070 mm (121 in).

02 What Y-axis stroke does the PUMA 5100 XLYB have?

DN Solutions lists 150 mm (6 in) of Y travel for this model, alongside 355 mm (14 in) of X and 3,150 mm (124 in) of Z. The PUMA 5100 XLYA lists the same 150 mm (6 in), so the choice between the two long Y-axis machines rests on chuck size and spindle, not on milling reach. Live tools run to 4,000 rpm; their power is not in the table.

03 What size parts fit the PUMA 5100 XLYB?

Up to 550 mm (22 in) in turning diameter and 3,040 mm (120 in) in turning length, held in a 21 in chuck. Z travel is 3,150 mm (124 in), slightly more than the turning length. The table does not give the spindle bore, a workpiece weight limit or tailstock data, so for pipe, bar-through work or very heavy shafts get those figures confirmed with the quotation.

04 What should a shop check before ordering?

Three things from the table. Floor and headroom: 7,302 mm (287 in) by 2,632 mm (104 in), 2,937 mm (116 in) high, at 16,000 kg (35,274 lb). Speed: 1,500 rpm is low for small diameters. And the items the table leaves out, which are the live tool power, the spindle bore and the per-axis rapid rates behind the single 20 m/min (787 ipm) figure.
