Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 XLYB is the maximum-capability configuration in the PUMA 5100 series: extra-long bed, 21-inch chuck, the most powerful spindle, and a programmable Y-axis. It combines every available option into a single machine for shops that need to turn and mill the longest, heaviest, largest-diameter parts in the 5100 class without compromise.

The spindle delivers 45 kW (60 hp) with 2,958 Nm (2,182 ft-lb) of torque at up to 1,500 RPM through a 21-inch (533 mm) chuck. Max turning length reaches 3,028 mm (119 in) with 650 mm (26 in) of max turning diameter. These are the same specs as the XLMB, but with the critical addition of Y-axis capability.

The Y-axis provides +/-80 mm (160 mm total, 6.3 in) of off-center travel. Combined with the 12-station turret running live tools at 4,000 RPM and full C-axis control, the XLYB can machine keyways, off-center bolt patterns, flats, and tapped holes along parts nearly 3 meters long. When your workpiece weighs a tonne and takes 30 minutes to crane-load into a VMC, every secondary operation you eliminate on the lathe pays immediate dividends.

Z-axis travel is 3,150 mm (124 in) with 362 mm (14 in) on X. Rapids run 16 m/min on X, 20 m/min on Z, and 8 m/min on Y. Box-way construction across the full extra-long bed maintains consistent rigidity. At 13,600 kg (29,983 lb), this is the heaviest machine in the PUMA 5100 series.

The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control handles the multi-axis coordination. The XLYB represents the pinnacle of the 5100 platform — maximum chuck, maximum power, maximum length, and Y-axis milling. It's a significant investment, justified by shops with consistent heavy mill-turn work that demands this combination of capabilities. Specs sourced from DN Solutions published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Maximum PUMA 5100 capability: 21" chuck, 26" swing, 119" turning length, Y-axis, and 60 hp spindle
2,958 Nm torque handles the most aggressive roughing in any material on large-diameter, long parts
160 mm Y-axis travel enables off-center milling along the full 3+ meter bed length
21-inch chuck provides maximum clamping force for the heaviest forgings and castings
13,600 kg mass and box-way construction deliver uncompromising stability
Eliminates the most costly secondary setups in heavy industry manufacturing

Limitations

1,500 RPM spindle speed is limiting for smaller-diameter features
13,600 kg is the heaviest PUMA 5100 — requires the most substantial foundation
Highest price point in the 5100 series reflects the maximum configuration
21-inch chuck and jaw tooling represent a significant ongoing investment
7+ meter footprint requires dedicated floor space

Best For

Power generation OEMs machining the longest turbine shafts and generator components with milled features Marine propulsion manufacturers producing long propeller shafts with keyways and cross-holes Mining equipment builders turning crusher mainshafts and large rollers with off-center features Oil and gas shops machining long, large-diameter components with bolt patterns and milled flats Steel and paper mill component shops turning process rolls with keyway and drive features Any application requiring the maximum combination of swing, length, clamping, and Y-axis milling

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the PUMA 5100 XLYB the most capable PUMA 5100?

Yes. It combines the extra-long bed, 21-inch chuck, 45 kW spindle, live tooling, and Y-axis — every available option in the 5100 platform. The only larger PUMA lathes are the 700 and 800 series, which step up to 35-inch swing.

02 How does the XLYB compare to the XLMB?

Same spindle, chuck, bed length, and live tooling. The XLYB adds a 160 mm Y-axis for off-center milling. The XLMB is limited to C-axis on-center milling. If your long parts have off-center features, the XLYB eliminates secondary operations.

03 What does a PUMA 5100 XLYB cost?

New machines run $330,000-$425,000 depending on options. This is the most expensive configuration in the PUMA 5100 lineup. The investment is justified by consistent volume of heavy, long mill-turn parts that would otherwise require multiple machine setups.

04 When should I step up to a PUMA 700 instead?

When your parts exceed 650 mm (26 in) in diameter or you need more than 3 meters of turning length, the PUMA 700/800 series provides 900 mm swing and up to 5,050 mm turning length. The jump in price, weight, and floor space is significant, so stay with the 5100 if your work fits within its envelope.
