How much does the YCM NXV600A cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the YCM NXV600A 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.

YCM NXV600A — price

Price estimate: uncertain

We have no price for the YCM NXV600A 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

Smallest fixed-table machine in YCM's NXV range, the NXV600A is a BBT40 vertical machining center with 600 mm (23.6 in) of X travel, 410 mm (16.1 in) of Y and 450 mm (17.7 in) of Z. It weighs 3,000 kg (6,614 lb), which makes it a machine that can go into a small shop without special foundations being the first question.

Where the NXV560A-APC swaps 120 kg (265 lb) pallets, this model has a conventional 700 x 420 mm (27.6 x 16.5 in) table with three 14 mm T-slots and a 300 kg (660 lb) load rating. The table overhangs the X travel, so a pair of vises or a single fixture plate sits comfortably. Spindle nose to table is 110~560 mm, enough for a vise plus a mid-length tool but tight once a rotary table goes on.

Speed is the point of the design. All three axes rapid at 48 m/min (1,890 ipm), cutting feed goes to 20,000 mm/min (787 ipm), and the 24-tool magazine swaps tools in 1.8 sec tool-to-tool. The IDD spindle is 12,000 rpm with grease lubrication, or 15,000 rpm with oil-air lubrication as an option; either way the rating is 18.5 kW (25 HP).

The servo motors carry absolute encoders, so there is no zero return at start-up. The enclosure is fully covered including the top, with a side window that opens for chip removal and a coolant shower as standard.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) rapids on all axes with cutting feed to 20,000 mm/min (787 ipm)
  • 18.5 kW (25 HP) BBT40 spindle on a machine of only 3,000 kg (6,614 lb)
  • Tool-to-tool change in 1.8 sec
  • Fully enclosed including the top cover, with a coolant shower as standard

Limitations

  • Table load is 300 kg (660 lb), which rules out heavy fixtures and most trunnion tables with their workholding
  • Y travel of 410 mm (16.1 in) limits fixture depth
  • Only a 24-tool magazine is listed, with no larger option in the table
  • The 15,000 rpm spindle and spindle cooling are options
06

Best For

Small aluminium parts where rapids and tool changes make up most of the cycle Two-vise setups inside 600 x 410 mm of travel Shops that need a 40-taper machine with a 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) footprint load

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size table does the NXV600A have?

The table is 700 x 420 mm (27.6 x 16.5 in) with T-slots listed as 3 x 14 x 100 mm, and it is rated for 300 kg (660 lb). X travel is 600 mm (23.6 in), so the table is longer than the stroke.

02 How does the NXV600A differ from the NXV560A-APC?

The NXV600A has a fixed T-slot table and a 300 kg (660 lb) load rating. The NXV560A-APC changes 560 x 410 mm (22.05 x 16.14 in) pallets rated at 120 kg (265 lb) and weighs 3,830 kg (8,444 lb). Spindle, rapids and magazine are listed with the same figures on both.

03 Is the NXV600A fast enough for production work?

Its rapid traverse is 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) on X, Y and Z and the tool change is 1.8 sec tool-to-tool. Cutting feed reaches 20,000 mm/min (787 ipm). Those are the figures that shorten cycles on parts with many short moves.

04 What limits apply to tools in the magazine?

Each tool can weigh 6 kg (13 lb). With a full magazine the size limit is ø76 x 250 mm, and ø125 x 250 mm applies when the adjacent pockets are left empty. The magazine holds 24 tools.
