Price estimate
We do not have a price for the YCM NXV1680A 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
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
