Overview

The DN Solutions PUMA DNT 2100 MB combines the two upgrades of the PUMA DNT 2100 line in one machine: the 10-inch chuck with its 403 N·m, 3,500 rpm spindle, and driven tools that run to 6,000 rpm. It is a box-guideway lathe for parts that need heavy turning and some milling or drilling in the same setup.

The driven-tool turret comes with a smaller envelope. Maximum turning diameter is 320 mm (12.6 in) and maximum turning length is 501 mm (19.7 in). The turning-only PUMA DNT 2100 B, with the same chuck and spindle, handles 400 mm (15.7 in) by 550 mm (21.7 in). Shorter axes are not the reason, since X travel is 230 mm (9.1 in) and Z travel is 580 mm (22.8 in) here as well. Size the largest part against the 320 mm figure, not against the chuck.

Spindle power is 18.5 kW. Against the 8-inch PUMA DNT 2100M, which pairs 328 N·m with 4,500 rpm, this model has the stronger low-speed spindle but a single listed live-tool speed: the PUMA DNT 2100M table offers a 10,000 rpm driven-tool option that does not appear here. The table also has no Y travel and gives no power or torque for the driven tools.

Rapids are 24 m/min (944.9 ipm) in X and 30 m/min (1,181.1 ipm) in Z, and the 12 turret stations are shared between turning tools and driven holders. At 3,900 kg (8,598 lb) it is the heaviest of the four versions, on a 2,945 × 1,664 mm (115.9 × 65.5 in) plan and 1,780 mm (70.1 in) high. DN lists several tailstock types, a servo automatic door and an easily retrofitted steady rest for the series.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Driven tools to 6,000 rpm on a 10-inch chuck lathe
403 N·m of spindle torque with 18.5 kW, the same spindle figures as the PUMA DNT 2100 B
Turning plus cross-drilling or milling in one setup, on a box guideway structure
12-station turret, with X and Z rapids of 24 m/min (944.9 ipm) and 30 m/min (1,181.1 ipm)

Limitations

Maximum turning diameter falls to 320 mm (12.6 in), from 400 mm (15.7 in) on the PUMA DNT 2100 B
Turning length is 501 mm (19.7 in), the shortest of the four PUMA DNT 2100 versions
No 10,000 rpm driven-tool option appears in this table, unlike the PUMA DNT 2100M
No Y travel is listed, and the table gives no power or torque for the driven tools
Main spindle speed is limited to 3,500 rpm

Best For

Chucked parts needing bolt holes or flats after heavy turning Work up to 320 mm (12.6 in) in diameter and 501 mm (19.7 in) long Jobs where 6,000 rpm live tools remove a second operation on a mill Roughing cuts that need 403 N·m at low spindle speed

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the PUMA DNT 2100 MB add over the PUMA DNT 2100 B?

Driven tools, listed at 6,000 rpm. Chuck size, the 3,500 rpm maximum, 403 N·m and 18.5 kW are the same on both. The turning envelope is where they part: 320 mm (12.6 in) by 501 mm (19.7 in) on the PUMA DNT 2100 MB, 400 mm (15.7 in) by 550 mm (21.7 in) on the PUMA DNT 2100 B. Weight is 3,900 kg (8,598 lb) against 3,800 kg (8,377 lb) for the PUMA DNT 2100 B.

02 Should I choose the PUMA DNT 2100 MB or the PUMA DNT 2100M?

Both have driven tools and a 320 mm (12.6 in) turning diameter. The PUMA DNT 2100M has an 8-inch chuck, 4,500 rpm and 328 N·m, and its table lists a 10,000 rpm driven-tool option. The PUMA DNT 2100 MB has a 10-inch chuck, 3,500 rpm and 403 N·m, with driven tools at 6,000 rpm. Larger, heavier-cutting parts point to the MB; small parts and small cutters point to the PUMA DNT 2100M.

03 How fast do the live tools run?

The table lists a live tool speed of 6,000 rpm for this model and no higher-speed option. It does not state the driven-tool motor power or torque, so ask DN Solutions for those figures if the work includes large drills or taps.

04 Does the PUMA DNT 2100 MB have a Y-axis?

The table lists X travel of 230 mm (9.1 in) and Z travel of 580 mm (22.8 in) and no Y travel, and DN's series description for the PUMA DNT does not mention one. Plan for drilling and milling on centre. Features that need the tool offset from the centreline call for a machine with a Y-axis.

05 What are the weight and overall dimensions?

3,900 kg (8,598 lb), with a length, width and height of 2,945 × 1,664 × 1,780 mm (115.9 × 65.5 × 70.1 in). That weight is the highest of the four PUMA DNT 2100 versions.
