YCM DCV2012B

Q: How much does the YCM DCV2012B cost?

The price estimate for the YCM DCV2012B is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/ycm-dcv2012b#price; the request is passed to YCM or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the YCM DCV2012B that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

Smallest of YCM's 50-taper DCV bridge mills, the DCV2012B has 2,000 mm of X travel, 1,200 mm of Y and 762 mm of Z. The table lists a BBT50 spindle at 10,000 rpm with 45 kW, on a machine that weighs 19,000 kg.

Its place in the range is easiest to see beside the DCV2012A. That machine shares the bed and the 2,000 x 1,100 mm table but carries a light, fast BBT40 spindle on linear guideways. The B model changes the vertical axis to a box guideway, induction hardened and ground, to give what YCM calls superb cutting rigidity and a short force flow. X and Y stay on roller type guideways. Z travel is 762 mm against 600 mm on the DCV2012A, and tools may weigh 20 kg.

The spindle is an isolated direct drive unit. A direct-drive 50-taper spindle running to 10,000 rpm covers roughing with large cutters and finishing with small ones without a gear change, which fits mold shops that cut P20 and tool steel blocks from solid.

Table load is 4,000 kg, modest for the frame, so the machine is for mid-size blocks and plates, not for the heaviest dies. There are 1,340 mm between the columns. Rapid traverse is 20 m/min in X and Y and 15 m/min in Z. The standard magazine has 32 pockets, with 40 or 60 optional, and a tool can be ø240 x 350 mm when the adjacent pockets are empty.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

BBT50 isolated direct drive spindle at 10,000 rpm
Box guideway on Z, induction hardened and precision ground
Tools up to 20 kg and ø240 x 350 mm without adjacent tools
762 mm of Z travel under the bridge
32-tool magazine with 40 or 60 optional

Limitations

Table load is 4,000 kg, low for a bridge mill
Y travel is 1,200 mm with 1,340 mm between columns
Z rapid is 15 m/min, slower than X and Y
YCM's feature text and the spec table give different spindle power figures, so confirm the motor rating

Best For

Mid-size mold and die blocks cut from solid Steel plates and fixtures up to 2,000 x 1,100 mm Roughing and finishing with 50-taper tools in one setup

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle does the DCV2012B have?

The table lists a BBT50 spindle at 10,000 rpm with 45 kW. YCM describes it as an isolated direct drive design with low vibration and good heat isolation. The feature text quotes a different motor power, so ask YCM which rating applies.

02 What are the travels?

X travel is 2,000 mm, Y travel 1,200 mm and Z travel 762 mm. Spindle nose to table is 200~962 mm (7.87~37.87 in). The table is 2,000 x 1,100 mm and the distance between columns is 1,340 mm.

03 What guideways are used?

Roller type guideways on the X and Y axes and a box guideway on Z. YCM says the Z box guideway is reinforced through induction hardening and precision ground, and that direct drive motors on the 3 axes reduce backlash.

04 How much weight can the table take?

4,000 kg, on a table with T-slots listed as 7 x 22 x 150 mm. The work table is ground before assembly. The next model up, the DCV3016B, carries 10,000 kg on a 3,260 x 1,500 mm table.
