YCM NFX400A

Q: How much does the YCM NFX400A cost?

The price estimate for the YCM NFX400A 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-nfx400a#price; the request is passed to YCM or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the YCM NFX400A 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 NFX400A is a compact 5-axis vertical machining center with a tilting and rotating table. The table is ø350 mm (ø13.78 in), the A axis tilts through 150°, from +30° to -120°, and the C axis turns a full 360°. Linear travels are 650 mm (25.59 in) in X, 520 mm (20.47 in) in Y and 480 mm (18.9 in) in Z.

It is sized for small parts. YCM gives the maximum workpiece as ø400 x 310 mm and the table load as 200 kg (440.92 lb). The table surface lies level with the centerline of the tilting axis, which keeps the part close to the pivot and reduces the linear compensation moves in simultaneous work. A ø50 mm through hole in the table and six fixture lines, two pneumatic and four hydraulic, are prepared for automatic clamping.

The spindle is YCM's own IDD PLUS unit with a BBT40 dual contact taper, 12,000 rpm and 18.5 kW (25 HP) as standard; the options column lists 12,000 or 15,000 rpm with 25 kW (34 HP). The motor seat, quill and bearings are cooled. Micro oil-air lubrication is an option.

All three linear axes rapid at 36 m/min on linear guideways. For a 5-axis machine the magazine range is broad: a 24-tool disk as standard, 30 as an option, and chain magazines from 40 tools upward. Tilting to -120° lets the spindle reach undercuts and the back of a part, so many components can be finished in one clamping. The machine weighs 6,200 kg (13,668.52 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

A-axis tilt of 150° (+30°/ -120°) with a 360° C axis
Table surface level with the tilting axis centerline
Six fixture lines prepared in the table, 2 air and 4 hydraulic
36 m/min rapids on X, Y and Z
Cooling on the spindle motor seat, quill and bearing

Limitations

Table load is 200 kg (440.92 lb), fixture included
Maximum workpiece is ø400 x 310 mm
Micro oil-air lubrication and the 15,000 rpm spindle are options
YCM's two listings of this model give different tool size limits, so the magazine limits need confirming

Best For

Small complex parts finished in one clamping Simultaneous 5-axis contouring of parts up to ø400 x 310 mm Automated cells using the hydraulic and pneumatic fixture lines

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the rotary axis ranges of the NFX400A?

The A axis tilts 150°, given as +30° to -120°, and the C axis rotates 360°. The rotary table is ø350 mm (ø13.78 in) with a ø50 mm through hole, and its surface is at the same level as the tilting axis centerline.

02 How large and heavy a part can it take?

YCM lists the maximum workpiece dimensions as ø400 x 310 mm and the maximum table load as 200 kg (440.92 lb). Linear travels are 650 mm (25.59 in) in X, 520 mm (20.47 in) in Y and 480 mm (18.9 in) in Z.

03 What spindle does the NFX400A use?

An in-house IDD PLUS spindle with a BBT40 dual contact taper, 12,000 rpm and 18.5 kW (25 HP) as standard. The options column lists 12,000 or 15,000 rpm with 25 kW (34 HP). YCM's feature text quotes a different maximum power, so confirm the rating.

04 Which tool magazines are available?

A 24-tool disk type magazine is standard and a 30-tool disk type is optional. The table also lists 40 and 60 tools as options, and YCM's feature list names chain type magazines of 40 tools and more. An ATC door is standard.
