Overview

The Yasda YBM 10T-TH is a 50-taper vertical machining center with 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of X travel, 750 mm (29.5 in) of Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z over a 1,200 x 700 mm (47.2 x 27.6 in) table. It is not in Yasda's current lineup, so the listed figures are best read as a guide to what a particular machine should be, to be confirmed on the machine itself.

The construction rows are what define it. Guideways are listed as hand-scraped box guideways on all axes, and the headstock as a thermo-symmetric design, which the table ties to the TH in the model name. Box ways carry cutting load over a large contact area and damp vibration well, at the cost of traverse speed, and the listed 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapid reflects that. Table load is 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) on a machine weighing 15,000 kg (33,069 lb), so heavy die blocks and plates are within its range.

The spindle is BT50 at 12,000 rpm, with 15,000 rpm listed as optional, driven by a 22 kW (30 HP) continuous motor. Listed positioning accuracy is +/-2.0 um and repeatability +/-1.0 um. The magazine holds 30 tools, or 60 as an option, and the control is a Fanuc 31i-B with a Heidenhain TNC 640 listed as optional. Before the listed accuracy is relied on, the condition of the scraped ways and of the spindle should be inspected.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Hand-scraped box guideways on all axes, a layout suited to heavy and interrupted cuts
BT50 spindle at 12,000 rpm with a 22 kW (30 HP) continuous motor; 15,000 rpm is listed as optional
2,000 kg (4,409 lb) table load on a 1,200 x 700 mm (47.2 x 27.6 in) table
Listed positioning accuracy of +/-2.0 um and repeatability of +/-1.0 um
Thermo-symmetric headstock design, the TH in the model name

Limitations

Rapid traverse is listed at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm), slow for short-cycle production work
The standard magazine holds 30 tools; 60 is an option that a given machine may not have
At 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) the machine needs a foundation and rigging plan before it is moved
15,000 rpm is optional, so a given machine may be limited to 12,000 rpm

Best For

Die and mould blocks up to 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) Heavy BT50 milling within 1,000 mm (39.4 in) by 750 mm (29.5 in) by 500 mm (19.7 in) Precision boring and finishing where +/-2.0 um positioning is needed Hard-material work that benefits from box-way damping

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does TH mean on the YBM 10T-TH?

The listed figures tie the TH designation to a thermo-symmetric headstock design. The idea of such a layout is that heat from the spindle spreads evenly about the spindle centreline, so the head grows straight along its axis and does not tilt. No thermal growth figure is listed.

02 What are the travels and table size of the YBM 10T-TH?

Travels are listed as 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in X, 750 mm (29.5 in) in Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) in Z. The table is 1,200 x 700 mm (47.2 x 27.6 in) with a maximum load of 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). For scale, the YBM 950V lists 900 mm, 500 mm and 350 mm of travel with a MAS BT40 taper.

03 What spindle is fitted to the YBM 10T-TH?

A BT50 spindle listed at 12,000 rpm, with 15,000 rpm as an option, and a 22 kW (30 HP) continuous motor. Because the higher speed is optional, check the spindle nameplate or the control parameters on the machine in question to see which one it has.

04 Which control does the YBM 10T-TH use?

The listed control is a Fanuc 31i-B, with a Heidenhain TNC 640 listed as optional. Programs, post-processors and operator training differ between the two, so confirm which one is on the machine before planning how it will be programmed.
