Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA DNT 2100 is a two-axis, box-guideway turning center with an 8-inch chuck, a 4,500 rpm spindle rated 18.5 kW and 328 N·m, and room for work up to 400 mm (15.7 in) in diameter and 562 mm (22.1 in) long. It is the plain turning model of its group. The table has no driven-tool row, and it has the largest envelope and the lowest weight of the four PUMA DNT 2100 versions.

DN describes the PUMA DNT as built on a box guideway structure, the usual choice for interrupted cuts and heavy roughing where damping matters more than rapid speed. Rapids are still 24 m/min (944.9 ipm) in X and 30 m/min (1,181.1 ipm) in Z. X travel is 230 mm (9.1 in) and Z travel is 580 mm (22.8 in), so nearly all of the Z stroke is usable turning length.

Choosing between this model and the PUMA DNT 2100 B comes down to the spindle. The PUMA DNT 2100 B takes a 10-inch chuck and delivers 403 N·m at a 3,500 rpm maximum, on the same 18.5 kW. The 8-inch machine gives up that torque for 4,500 rpm, which pays on smaller diameters, bar work and aluminium, where surface speed runs out before torque does. If the parts need cross holes or milled flats, the PUMA DNT 2100M adds driven tools at 6,000 rpm, with turning diameter reduced to 320 mm (12.6 in).

The turret has 12 stations as listed. Across the series DN also offers ten- and twenty-four-position turrets, a high-torque spindle option, several tailstock types and a servo automatic door for automation. A steady rest can be retrofitted, and the chip conveyor is an inverter type. The machine is 2,945 × 1,664 mm (115.9 × 65.5 in) on the floor, 1,780 mm (70.1 in) high, and weighs 3,700 kg (8,157 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

400 mm (15.7 in) turning diameter and 562 mm (22.1 in) turning length, the largest envelope of the PUMA DNT 2100 versions
4,500 rpm spindle, against 3,500 rpm on the PUMA DNT 2100 B
Box guideway structure, as DN describes the PUMA DNT series
Series options include a high-torque spindle, alternative turrets, several tailstock types and a servo automatic door
Small and light for its envelope: 2,945 × 1,664 mm (115.9 × 65.5 in) and 3,700 kg (8,157 lb)

Limitations

No driven tools: milling and cross-drilling need the PUMA DNT 2100M, which lists 6,000 rpm live tools
328 N·m of spindle torque, against 403 N·m on the PUMA DNT 2100 B with the same 18.5 kW
The table gives 18.5 kW without saying whether it is a continuous or a short-time rating
The high-torque spindle, the servo door and the other turret sizes are options, not part of the listed configuration

Best For

General two-axis turning of parts up to 400 mm (15.7 in) in diameter Shafts and sleeves up to 562 mm (22.1 in) long, with tailstock support Smaller-diameter and bar work that benefits from 4,500 rpm Shops that want a box-way lathe in a 2,945 × 1,664 mm (115.9 × 65.5 in) space

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the PUMA DNT 2100 and the PUMA DNT 2100 B?

Chuck and spindle. The PUMA DNT 2100 has an 8-inch chuck and a 4,500 rpm spindle with 328 N·m. The PUMA DNT 2100 B has a 10-inch chuck and a 3,500 rpm spindle with 403 N·m. Both are rated 18.5 kW and both turn 400 mm (15.7 in) in diameter; turning length is 562 mm (22.1 in) on the PUMA DNT 2100 and 550 mm (21.7 in) on the PUMA DNT 2100 B.

02 Does the PUMA DNT 2100 have live tooling?

No driven-tool speed is listed for this model, which makes it a two-axis turning machine. The PUMA DNT 2100M is the 8-inch version with driven tools, listed at 6,000 rpm with a 10,000 rpm option. The PUMA DNT 2100M turns a smaller diameter, 320 mm (12.6 in) against 400 mm (15.7 in) here.

03 What turret and tailstock options does DN Solutions list?

The table shows a 12-station turret. For the PUMA DNT series DN Solutions lists ten-, twelve- and twenty-four-position turret choices, a high-torque spindle option, several tailstock types and a servo automatic door for automation. A steady rest is described as easy to retrofit. These are series statements, so confirm which apply to the 8-inch model being quoted.

04 How large a part can the PUMA DNT 2100 turn?

Up to 400 mm (15.7 in) in diameter and 562 mm (22.1 in) in length, held in an 8-inch chuck. X travel is 230 mm (9.1 in) and Z travel is 580 mm (22.8 in). Parts near the full length will usually want tailstock support, and DN lists more than one tailstock type for the series.

05 How much space and weight does the PUMA DNT 2100 take up?

It is 2,945 mm long, 1,664 mm wide and 1,780 mm high (115.9 × 65.5 × 70.1 in) and weighs 3,700 kg (8,157 lb). Allow extra room for a bar feeder if one is fitted and for a swarf bin at the conveyor discharge.
