DePe Gear Company Powers Up with DN Solutions PUMA 5100LM for Large Precision Turning
Precision gear manufacturer DePe Gear Company, based in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, has expanded its machining capabilities with the installation of a DN Solutions PUMA 5100LM – a heavy-duty turning centre designed to handle large, high-precision components with ease.
Specialising in the production of gears, shafts, and power transmission components, DePe serves a wide range of demanding industries including rail, defence, power generation, marine, and off-highway sectors. The company frequently machines complex parts in tough materials, many with diameters up to 650 mm and lengths up to 2 metres — the exact kind of work the PUMA 5100LM was built for.
A Perfect Fit for Large, Complex Work
The PUMA 5100LM from DN Solutions is a horizontal turning centre designed for exactly these kinds of applications. With:
- Maximum turning diameter of 650 mm
- Turning length up to 2000 mm
- Box guideway construction for stability and rigidity
- Live tooling (M spec) and long-bed (L spec) for flexibility
…it provides the power, precision, and reliability needed for large component machining in a single setup. This means fewer operations, shorter cycle times, and more consistent part quality — all vital for industries that demand high accuracy and fast turnaround.
Backed by Mills CNC in the UK
