How much does the DN Solutions PUMA DNT 2100 M cost?
Estimated price range
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 DNT 2100M is an 8-inch box-guideway lathe with a driven-tool turret. Its live tools are listed at 6,000 rpm, with 10,000 rpm available as an option, and the main spindle reaches 4,500 rpm on a rating of 18.5 kW and 328 N·m.
That optional 10,000 rpm is the row that sets this model apart inside its group. The PUMA DNT 2100 MB, the 10-inch machine with driven tools, lists 6,000 rpm and nothing higher. Small drills, engraving cutters and small end mills want speed far more than torque, so the option is worth having quoted if the milled features on your parts are small. Bear in mind that it is an extra, and that the table states no motor power or torque for the driven tools at either speed. Large taps and heavy side milling should be confirmed with DN before the order.
Fitting driven tools shrinks the turning envelope. This machine turns 320 mm (12.6 in) in diameter and 513 mm (20.2 in) in length, where the turning-only PUMA DNT 2100 manages 400 mm (15.7 in) and 562 mm (22.1 in) with the same chuck, the same spindle figures and the same 580 mm (22.8 in) of Z travel. X travel is 230 mm (9.0 in). No Y travel appears in the table, so cross holes, flats and keyways are cut on the spindle centreline.
Rapid traverse is 24 m/min (944.9 ipm) in X and 30 m/min (1,181.1 ipm) in Z. Twelve turret stations are listed, and every driven holder takes one of them away from the turning tools, which is worth counting before committing a part with many operations. The machine weighs 3,800 kg (8,377 lb) and occupies 2,945 × 1,664 mm (115.9 × 65.5 in) of floor at a height of 1,780 mm (70.1 in). For the PUMA DNT series DN also lists a high-torque spindle option, more than one tailstock type, a servo automatic door for automation and a steady rest that is easy to retrofit.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Live tools listed at 6,000 rpm, and a 10,000 rpm option that the PUMA DNT 2100 MB table does not offer
- 4,500 rpm main spindle rated 18.5 kW and 328 N·m, the same spindle figures as the turning-only PUMA DNT 2100
- Turning, cross-drilling and on-centre milling in one chucking on a box guideway structure
- Rapids of 24 m/min (944.9 ipm) in X and 30 m/min (1,181.1 ipm) in Z
- DN lists a high-torque spindle option, several tailstock types and a servo automatic door for the series
Limitations
- Turning diameter is 320 mm (12.6 in), down from 400 mm (15.7 in) on the PUMA DNT 2100
- The 10,000 rpm driven-tool speed is an extra-cost option; the listed speed is 6,000 rpm
- No Y travel is listed, so features away from the centreline cannot be milled directly
- Driven-tool power and torque are not stated in the table
- 328 N·m of spindle torque, where the 10-inch PUMA DNT 2100 MB lists 403 N·m

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table lists 6,000 rpm, with 10,000 rpm as an option. It gives no motor power or torque for the driven tools, so the speed is the only figure to plan from. If the work is mostly small drills and small end mills, ask for the higher-speed option to be quoted; if it includes large taps, ask DN Solutions for the torque first.
02
Turning envelope. The PUMA DNT 2100M turns 320 mm (12.6 in) by 513 mm (20.2 in); the PUMA DNT 2100 turns 400 mm (15.7 in) by 562 mm (22.1 in). Chuck size, the 4,500 rpm maximum, 18.5 kW and 328 N·m are the same on both, as is the 580 mm (22.8 in) Z travel. The PUMA DNT 2100 is also lighter, at 3,700 kg (8,157 lb) against 3,800 kg (8,377 lb).
03
It depends on part size and cutter size. The PUMA DNT 2100 MB has a 10-inch chuck, a 3,500 rpm spindle with 403 N·m and driven tools at 6,000 rpm. The PUMA DNT 2100M has an 8-inch chuck, 4,500 rpm, 328 N·m and the 10,000 rpm driven-tool option. Both are limited to a 320 mm (12.6 in) turning diameter, and turning length is 513 mm (20.2 in) here against 501 mm (19.7 in) on the PUMA DNT 2100 MB.
04
None is listed. The table gives X travel of 230 mm (9.0 in) and Z travel of 580 mm (22.8 in) and stops there, and DN's description of the PUMA DNT series does not mention a Y-axis either. Driven tools therefore work on the centreline: radial and axial holes, flats and slots through centre.
05
Floor loading and access for 3,800 kg (8,377 lb), and space for a machine 2,945 mm long, 1,664 mm wide and 1,780 mm high (115.9 × 65.5 × 70.1 in). DN describes an inverter type of chip conveyor for the series, so leave room for the swarf bin at its discharge. Electrical and air requirements are not in the table; get them from the quotation.
