YCM NXV1680A — price

Price estimate: uncertain

We have no price for the YCM NXV1680A that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so this page shows no number rather than a guess. A quote from YCM or an authorised dealer is the reliable figure.

What moves the final price

  • Spindle, control and probing options
  • Tool changer capacity and tooling package
  • Automation — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot cells
  • Freight, rigging, installation and training
  • Region, dealer and time of year

Overview

Longest of the 40-taper NXV machines, the YCM NXV1680A offers 1,630 mm (64.2 in) of X travel with 815 mm (32 in) of Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) of Z. The table is 1,730 x 810 mm (68.1 x 31.8 in) with seven T-slots, and the whole machine weighs 11,000 kg (24,251 lb).

Length is what a buyer pays attention to here. A part 1.6 metres long, or a row of fixtures across the table, is machined in one setup. The table rating does not grow with the length, though: it is 1,500 kg (3,307 lb), the figure the NXV1270A already carries on a table 1,350 mm long. Long, relatively light work such as extrusions, rails, plates and frames fits that profile better than dense blocks.

There is a 50-taper machine on the same travel, the NXV1680B, with a 6,000 rpm gearhead spindle and a 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) table. The A model is the high-speed alternative. Its BBT40 IDD spindle turns 12,000 rpm on 18.5 kW (25 HP), with 15,000 rpm and 37 kW (50 HP) among the options, and its rapids are 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and Y against 24 m/min on the B.

Tool change is 1.8 sec tool-to-tool from a 24-tool magazine; 30, 48 and 60-tool magazines are optional. Chip augers, four along Y and one along X, carry chips out of the long bed.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • X travel of 1,630 mm (64.2 in) with 815 mm (32 in) of Y on a C-frame
  • 12,000 rpm spindle and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapids on a machine of this length
  • Spindle options include 15,000 rpm and 37 kW (50 HP)
  • Tool change in 1.8 sec tool-to-tool with an absolute encoder ATC
  • 24 tools as standard with 30, 48 or 60 optional

Limitations

  • Table load of 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) is spread over a 1,730 x 810 mm (68.1 x 31.8 in) table
  • BBT40 tooling limits tools to 6 kg (13 lb); the NXV1680B takes 20 kg (44 lb)
  • Z travel is 700 mm (27.6 in), shorter than the 762 mm (30 in) of the NXV1680B
  • The 37 kW (50 HP) spindle is an option

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the NXV1680A and the NXV1680B?

The spindle and what follows from it. The NXV1680A has a BBT40 spindle at 12,000 rpm, rapids of 30/30/24 m/min and a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) table. The NXV1680B has a BT50 gearhead spindle at 6,000 rpm, 24 m/min rapids, a 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) table and weighs 16,500 kg (36,376 lb).

02 What are the travels of the NXV1680A?

X is 1,630 mm (64.2 in), Y is 815 mm (32 in) and Z is 700 mm (27.6 in). Spindle nose to table is 100~800 mm (3.94~31.5 in), and the table measures 1,730 x 810 mm (68.1 x 31.8 in).

03 Which spindle options does YCM list?

Standard is 12,000 rpm with 18.5 kW (25 HP) and grease lubrication. The options are 12,000 or 15,000 rpm spindles with oil-air lubrication, rated 18.5 or 37 kW (25 or 50 HP). Spindle cooling is also an option.

04 How heavy is the NXV1680A?

Machine weight is 11,000 kg (24,251 lb). The NXV1380A, the next size down, weighs 10,500 kg (23,149 lb). Plan rigging and floor loading for an eleven-tonne machine with a long bed.
