YCM TC-46/1650

Q: How much does the YCM TC-46/1650 cost?

The price estimate for the YCM TC-46/1650 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-tc-46-1650#price; the request is passed to YCM or an authorised dealer.

Overview

With 1,650 mm (64.96 in) between chuck and tailstock, the YCM TC-46/1650 is the general-purpose length in YCM's large lathe family. Maximum turning diameter is ø750 mm (ø29.53 in), the chuck is 15" on an A2-11 nose, and the gearhead spindle motor is rated 30/37 kW (40/50 HP).

This length covers the common run of heavy shafts: gearbox shafts, axles, pump rotors, crusher and mill components. The tailstock quill travels 1,475 mm (58.07 in), so it reaches short parts as easily as long ones. YCM clamps the tailstock to the guideways with two cylinders to stop it skidding under load and moves it with a hydraulic connecting bar. The quill is a fixed MT-5 with a live centre as standard; a rotating quill with a dead centre is optional.

The Z axis keeps the 18 m/min (708.66 ipm) rapid of the shorter TC-46/1000, where the two longest beds are slower. X rapid is 16 m/min (629.92 ipm), with the cross slide carried by a hydraulic balance cylinder.

Headstock details are common to the family: ø130 mm (ø5.12 in) through the spindle, ø117 mm (ø4.61 in) through the draw bar, and 1,800 rpm with the standard chuck, falling to 1,600 and 1,200 rpm with the 18" and 21" chucks. The turret is a 10-station servo unit, 12 stations optional. High pressure coolant is supplied for chip removal, and a roof shower is an option. Machine weight is 13,500 kg (29,762 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the turning capacity of the TC-46/1650?

Maximum turning diameter is ø750 mm (ø29.53 in) and maximum turning length is 1,650 mm (64.96 in). Swing over the turret is ø982 mm (ø38.66 in), and X travel is listed as 405 mm (375+30).

02 How is the tailstock built?

It is programmable, with a fixed MT-5 quill and live centre as standard and a rotary quill with dead centre as an option. Two cylinders clamp it to the guideways and a hydraulic connecting bar links it for movement. Quill stroke is 1,475 mm (58.07 in).

03 How fast do the axes move?

Rapid traverse is 16 m/min (629.92 ipm) in X and 18 m/min (708.66 ipm) in Z. Cutting feed is 1~10,000 mm/min (0.04~393.7 ipm) on both axes.

04 How does it differ from the TC-46/2300?

The TC-46/2300 turns 2,300 mm (90.55 in), has a Z rapid of 15 m/min (590.55 ipm) and weighs 14,300 kg (31,526 lb). The TC-46/1650 turns 1,650 mm (64.96 in), rapids at 18 m/min (708.66 ipm) in Z and weighs 13,500 kg (29,762 lb).
