Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA 4100 MC is the biggest-chuck option in the standard-bed 4100 lineup, packing a 21-inch (533 mm) chuck with 2,432 N-m (1,794 ft-lb) of torque into a machine that handles large chucking work without needing the long-bed footprint. If you're gripping heavy castings, large-diameter forgings, or thick flanges that need serious jaw pressure and cutting force, the MC is built for it.
The 37 kW (50 hp) spindle drives through high-torque gearing to reach 1,500 RPM max. At 21-inch diameters, that's roughly 6,300 SFM at the OD — plenty for steel and most alloys. The 2,432 N-m of torque is the same as the long-bed LMC, giving you identical roughing authority in a shorter machine.
Max turning diameter is 550 mm (22 in) and turning length is 938 mm (37 in). That's the shortest turning length in the 4100 family, but for the heavy chucking work this machine targets, most parts are wider than they are long. Axis travels are 352 mm (14 in) on X and 1,105 mm (44 in) on Z with 16/20 m/min rapids.
The 12-station turret with 4,000 RPM live tooling handles cross-drilling, tapping, and milling. Having live tooling on a 21-inch chuck machine means you can put bolt holes, keyways, and cross-features on heavy flanges and housings without moving them to a machining center.
At 10,600 kg (23,369 lb), the MC sits between the MA and LMA in weight. The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control manages the turning and milling operations with the same interface used across the entire PUMA 4100 range.
For shops doing heavy-duty large-diameter chucking work where the standard bed length is sufficient, the MC delivers the most torque and gripping capability in the most efficient footprint.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,432 N-m (1,794 ft-lb) torque handles the heaviest roughing on large-diameter work
- 21-inch chuck securely grips oversized workpieces, heavy forgings, and large castings
- Standard-bed footprint avoids the cost and space of the long-bed LMC
- 50 hp spindle with high-torque gearing maximizes material removal at typical large-part speeds
- Live tooling at 4,000 RPM enables bolt-hole patterns and features on large flanges
- 10,600 kg construction absorbs vibration from heavy interrupted cuts
Limitations
- 1,500 RPM max speed is strictly for large-diameter work
- 938 mm (37 in) turning length is the shortest in the 4100 family
- 10,600 kg needs engineered foundations and serious rigging
- Slow rapids at 16/20 m/min add non-cutting time

Frequently Asked Questions
01
If your parts are under 938 mm long (most large chucking work is), the MC saves floor space and costs less. The LMC adds another meter of turning length for long-shaft work. Spindle specs are identical. Choose based on your longest common part.
02
Yes. The 21-inch chuck provides massive clamping force, and the 10,600 kg machine mass absorbs the shock loads from interrupted cuts on as-cast surfaces. Always ensure proper work-holding setup and verify clamping force calculations for each part.
03
Max turning diameter is 550 mm (22 in) over the saddle. The 21-inch chuck can grip parts with ODs larger than 550 mm for facing operations, but turning passes are limited to 550 mm diameter. Check swing-over-bed clearance with your dealer for specific part geometries.
04
For shorter pipe sections, couplings, and pipe-end machining — yes. The large chuck grips pipe securely, and the torque handles thick-wall materials. For long pipe work, the LMC with its 1,988 mm turning length is the better choice.
