How much does the YCM NDC3022B cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the YCM NDC3022B 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
With 2,200 mm (86.61 in) between its columns, the YCM NDC3022B belongs to the wide NDC frame. Travels are 3,200 mm (125.98 in) in X and 2,200 mm (86.61 in) in Y, over a table of 3,000 x 1,800 mm (118.11 x 70.87 in) that carries 12,000 kg (26,455 lb).
The wide frame is described differently from the narrow one, and the differences are in the drive train. The X axis is moved by a direct gear drive, which YCM credits with high torque, high transmission efficiency and low backlash; Y and Z use ball screws coupled directly to their motors. The spindle gearbox is YCM's own, a 2-step transmission with oil cooling that is fitted as standard. A gear-driven table axis is the usual solution once table and workpiece together weigh well over twenty tonnes.
The head is a rigid box structure on a boxway Z slide, the columns have widened bases with boots to stop the headstock leaning forward, and the saddle spans wide on a stiff cross beam.
Spindle figures follow the series: BBT50, a 6,000 rpm gearbox spindle with a 10,000 rpm IDD alternative, 35 kW (46.9 hp) or 45 kW (60.3 hp). T-slots are larger here, 28 mm on a 200 mm pitch, to suit heavier clamping. Rapids are 15 m/min in X, 20 m/min in Y and 15 m/min in Z. The magazine starts at 32 tools, and the machine weighs 33,000 kg (72,752 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,200 mm (86.61 in) of Y travel and the same distance between columns
- 3,000 x 1,800 mm (118.11 x 70.87 in) table rated for 12,000 kg (26,455 lb)
- Direct gear drive on the X axis
- In-house 2-step gear transmission with oil cooling as standard
- Box structure head on a boxway Z axis
Limitations

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The distance between columns is 2,200 mm (86.61 in) and Y travel is 2,200 mm (86.61 in). The table is 3,000 x 1,800 mm (118.11 x 70.87 in). The NDC3016B, on the narrow frame, has 1,800 mm (70.87 in) between columns.
02
By a direct gear drive, which YCM says provides high torque, high transmission efficiency and low backlash. The Y and Z axes use ball screws with a flexible direct coupling to the motor, without belts.
03
A BBT50 spindle with 35 kW (46.9 hp), or 45 kW (60.3 hp) as an option. The speed row lists a 6,000 rpm gearbox spindle and a 10,000 rpm IDD spindle. The gearbox is a 2-step transmission with oil cooling lubrication.
04
