Overview
The DN Solutions PUMA 5100 LA is the long-bed, medium-chuck variant of the heavy-duty 5100 platform. It pairs a 15-inch chuck with 2,082 mm (82 in) of turning length, targeting shops that need to turn long shafts and cylindrical components in the 650 mm (26 in) swing class. If your work involves long drive shafts, rollers, or heavy tubular parts that need more Z-reach than the short-bed variants, the LA is your starting point in the 5100 long-bed lineup.
The spindle delivers 37 kW (50 hp) and 3,280 Nm (2,419 ft-lb) of torque at speeds up to 2,000 RPM. Compared to the 5100 B and C short-bed models, the LA trades some spindle power for higher RPM flexibility. The 2,000 RPM ceiling gives you better surface speed range on medium-diameter work while still providing the torque to rough aggressively through steel and cast iron.
X-axis travel is 362 mm, Z is 2,155 mm, and rapids hit 16 m/min on X and 20 m/min on Z. The 10-station turret handles standard production turning operations. Box-way construction on both axes provides the rigidity and vibration damping this class of machine demands. The FANUC control keeps things familiar for any shop running Fanuc across their floor.
At 11,550 kg (25,463 lb), the 5100 LA has the mass to stay planted during heavy cuts on long parts. With over 2 meters of turning length and a 650 mm swing, it fills the gap between the compact short-bed models and the extra-long XL variants. It's the right machine for shops that regularly handle medium-to-long shafts and heavy parts without needing the full 3+ meter reach of the XLA. Specs sourced from DN Solutions published data.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,082 mm (82 in) turning length handles long shafts and rollers that won't fit standard-bed machines
- 650 mm max turning diameter provides generous swing for large workpieces
- 3,280 Nm of torque with 2,000 RPM gives a good balance of power and speed flexibility
- Box-way construction ensures stability during heavy cuts on extended parts
- 15-inch chuck is versatile enough for a wide range of medium-to-large diameter parts
- FANUC control with broad industry support and familiar programming
Limitations
- 2,000 RPM spindle ceiling limits high-speed work on small-diameter aluminum or brass parts
- 5.9 meter footprint requires careful shop layout planning
- No live tooling or Y-axis — milling operations require a second setup
- 10-station turret may be limiting on complex multi-tool jobs
- 11,550 kg weight demands solid floor preparation

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The LA uses a 15-inch chuck with 2,000 RPM and 3,280 Nm torque, while the LB steps up to a 21-inch chuck with 1,500 RPM and 4,041 Nm torque. Turning lengths are similar (2,082 mm vs 2,042 mm). Choose the LA for higher speed flexibility on medium diameters, or the LB when you need maximum clamping force.
02
New PUMA 5100 LA machines typically run $170,000-$230,000 depending on options. Used machines from recent model years sell in the $75,000-$140,000 range depending on hours and configuration.
03
Yes. A hydraulic steady rest is available and recommended for long, slender workpieces. With over 2 meters of turning length, a steady rest is essential for preventing deflection on shaft work with high length-to-diameter ratios.
04
DN Solutions offers the PUMA 5100 XLA with 3,082 mm (121 in) of turning length, using the same 15-inch chuck and spindle platform. It adds roughly 1 meter of Z travel and is about 1 meter longer overall.
