YCM T11

Q: How much does the YCM T11 cost?

The price estimate for the YCM T11 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-t11#price; the request is passed to YCM or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the YCM T11 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 T11 is one of two machines in the maker's newest vertical line, a 50-taper machining center with 1,100 mm (43.31 in) of X travel, 635 mm (25.00 in) of Y and 630 mm (24.80 in) of Z. YCM states that the T11 and T13 are the first machine tools in the industry certified to ISO14955, the standard for energy-efficient machine tools.

Structurally it is a successor to the T-base idea. YCM calls the casting an inverted Y shape that supports the table over the full stroke without overhang. There is no counterweight, the axes run on roller linear guides with large ball screws, and the Y axis has four roller guideways. Unlike the older square-way machines of the same taper, it rapids at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in X and Y and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z, and feeds at up to 20,000 mm/min.

The spindle list is wide. Standard is a BBT50 IDD spindle at 6,000 rpm with 15 kW (20.1 HP). The options are 6,000 or 10,000 rpm with 30 or 48 kW (40.2 or 64.4 HP). The standard rating is modest for the taper, so a buyer who intends to rough steel should look at the optional spindles first.

The table measures 1,300 x 635 mm (51.18 x 25 in) and takes 1,200 kg (2,646 lb). Tools up to 20 kg (44.1 lb) sit in a 24-tool magazine, with 32 and 40 optional. YCM's application examples are a P20 plastic mold and an aluminium engine block. Machine weight is 10,500 kg (23,148 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the ISO14955 certification on the T11 mean?

YCM states that the T11 and T13 are the first in the industry to obtain ISO14955 certification for green machine tools. It describes energy-efficient peripheral equipment, lightweight design and carbon-emission monitoring as part of the concept.

02 What spindles are offered on the T11?

A BBT50 IDD spindle at 6,000 rpm with 15 kW (20.1 HP) is standard. The options column lists 6,000 and 10,000 rpm and 30 and 48 kW (40.2 and 64.4 HP). Ask YCM which power rating goes with which speed.

03 What are the travels and table size?

Travels are 1,100 mm (43.31 in) in X, 635 mm (25.00 in) in Y and 630 mm (24.80 in) in Z. The table is 1,300 x 635 mm (51.18 x 25 in), carries 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), and spindle nose to table is 150-780 mm (5.91-30.71 in).

04 How does the T11 compare with the T13?

The T13 is the longer machine: 1,300 mm (51.18 in) of X, 680 mm (26.77 in) of Y, a 1,500 x 680 mm (59.06 x 26.77 in) table rated for 1,500 kg (3,307 lb), and 11,000 kg (24,251 lb). Spindles, rapids and magazines are listed with the same figures.
