YCM NDC4022B-AHC

Q: How much does the YCM NDC4022B-AHC cost?

The price estimate for the YCM NDC4022B-AHC 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-ndc4022b-ahc#price; the request is passed to YCM or an authorised dealer.

We do not have a price for the YCM NDC4022B-AHC 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

The YCM NDC4022B-AHC is the top model of the NDC range: the wide four-metre frame with a 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) table, plus automatic change between the vertical spindle and a 90° angle head. Its travels are 4,200 mm (165.35 in) in X and 2,800 mm (110.2 in) in Y.

It joins the two strands of the series. From the wide frame it takes the box structure head on a boxway, the direct gear drive on the X axis and the column bases widened with boots. From the AHC models it takes the octagonal angle head, the rotary head chamber and the tool changer that works in both spindle positions. Driving both heads is YCM's 2-step gear transmission, which has oil cooling to hold down temperature and noise.

The case for it is strongest on the heaviest parts. A fifteen-tonne die or casting is the hardest kind of workpiece to turn and re-align, and the one where an error between faces costs most. Machining five sides in one clamping removes that risk, and YCM names reduced fixture work and loading time as further gains.

The table is 4,000 x 1,800 mm with 28 mm T-slots, and the columns are 2,200 mm (86.61 in) apart. All three axes rapid at 15 m/min. The spindle is BBT50 at 6,000 rpm with 35 kW (46.9 hp), and the table lists magazine capacity as 40/60 tools. Z travel is 762 mm (30 in) or 1,016 mm (40 in). Machine weight is 39,000 kg (85,979 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What makes the NDC4022B-AHC different from the NDC4022B?

The automatic head changer and its 90° angle head. The NDC4022B is a three-axis machine with 2,200 mm (86.61 in) of Y travel, a 32-tool standard magazine and a weight of 37,000 kg (81,570 lb). The AHC model has 2,800 mm (110.2 in) of Y and weighs 39,000 kg (85,979 lb).

02 What are the travels and table load?

X travel is 4,200 mm (165.35 in), Y travel 2,800 mm (110.2 in) and Z travel 762 mm (30 in), or 1,016 mm (40 in) as an option. The table carries 15,000 kg (33,069 lb) and has T-slots listed as 9 x 28 x 200 mm.

03 How is the spindle driven?

Through YCM's self-manufactured gearbox with a 2-step gear transmission, which the maker says provides high torque for both vertical and horizontal machining. The spindle is BBT50, 6,000 rpm, 35 kW (46.9 hp).

04 How fast are the axes?

Rapid traverse is 15 m/min (591 ipm) on X, Y and Z, and cutting feed is 1~10,000 mm/min (0.04~394 ipm). The X axis uses a direct gear drive; Y and Z use ball screws coupled directly to their motors.
