Overview

The Yasda YBM 950V is a vertical machining center with 900 mm of X travel, 500 mm of Y and 350 mm of Z. The base machine pairs a 100-24,000 min-1 MAS BT40 spindle with a magazine of 30 tools. Around that base Yasda lists a long set of options, and the machine a shop ends up with depends heavily on which of them are ordered.

Start with the spindle. The standard unit covers 100-24,000 min-1 on MAS BT40, with HSK-A63 as an alternative interface. The optional spindle runs 150-30,000 min-1 and comes with a MAS BT30 taper. The smaller taper suits light, small-diameter tooling at speed and gives up the holder stiffness and cutter sizes a BT40 carries, so this is a choice between a general finishing machine and a small-tool specialist.

The magazine can grow from 30 tools to 40, 60, 90 or 100 tools. A pallet changer is an option, listed as 2・4PLS, and so is an EROWA/System 3R robot interface, which gives two different routes to unattended running. A 1 axis rotary table is a further option: its table is 200 mm in diameter with a loading capacity of 40 kg, enough for small indexed parts but not for heavy fixtures.

Z travel is the figure to check first. At 350 mm it is shorter than on the YBM Vi40, which has the same X and Y strokes with 450 mm of Z and starts at 60 tools. Tall fixtures, a rotary table and a long tool all draw on that same stroke. The control is a FANUC 31i-B5 Plus and machine height is 3225 mm.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Two spindle choices: 100-24,000 min-1 on MAS BT40 as standard, or an optional 150-30,000 min-1 spindle on MAS BT30
HSK-A63 is available as an alternative to MAS BT40 on the standard spindle
Magazine options of 40, 60, 90 or 100 tools beyond the standard 30 tools
Two automation routes are listed as options: a 2・4PLS pallet changer and an EROWA/System 3R robot interface
Optional 1 axis rotary table, 200 mm in diameter with a 40 kg loading capacity

Limitations

350 mm of Z travel, against 450 mm on the YBM Vi40 with the same 900 mm and 500 mm X and Y strokes
The standard magazine holds 30 tools; the YBM Vi40 starts at 60 tools
The 150-30,000 min-1 spindle comes with a MAS BT30 taper, which limits cutter size and rules out sharing BT40 holders
The optional rotary table carries 40 kg on a 200 mm table, so indexed work is limited to small parts

Best For

Precision parts within 900 mm by 500 mm by 350 mm of travel Small-tool finishing with the optional 150-30,000 min-1 MAS BT30 spindle Pallet-changer or robot-fed production using the listed automation options Small indexed parts up to 40 kg on the optional 200 mm rotary table

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle options does the YBM 950V offer?

The standard spindle runs 100-24,000 min-1 with a MAS BT40 taper, and HSK-A63 is listed as an option. A second spindle running 150-30,000 min-1 is also an option, and it uses a MAS BT30 taper. Tool holders are not interchangeable between the two, so the spindle has to be chosen with the tooling in mind.

02 How does the YBM 950V differ from the YBM Vi40?

Both list 900 mm of X and 500 mm of Y. The YBM 950V has 350 mm of Z and 30 tools as standard; the YBM Vi40 has 450 mm of Z and starts at 60 tools, with 100 tools or 200 tools as options. The YBM 950V is the one that lists a 150-30,000 min-1 spindle option, a pallet changer and a 1 axis rotary table.

03 How many tools does the YBM 950V hold?

30 tools as standard. Yasda lists 40, 60, 90 and 100 tools as options. The smaller sizes suit a machine run by an operator on a few repeating jobs; the 90 and 100 tools magazines make more sense alongside the pallet changer or robot interface, where several jobs stay set up at once.

04 Can the YBM 950V be automated?

Yes, through options. An automatic pallet changer is listed as 2・4PLS, and an EROWA/System 3R robot interface is listed separately. Neither is part of the base machine. Machine height is 3225 mm, and the footprint of whichever system is chosen needs to be added to the layout.

05 Is a rotary table available for the YBM 950V?

A 1 axis rotary table is listed as an option. The table is 200 mm in diameter and its loading capacity is 40 kg, which covers small parts and light fixtures. With 350 mm of Z travel, the height of the rotary unit, the part and the tool all have to fit in the same stroke.
