YCM TC-46/2300

Q: How much does the YCM TC-46/2300 cost?

The price estimate for the YCM TC-46/2300 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-46-2300#price; the request is passed to YCM or an authorised dealer.

We do not have a price for the YCM TC-46/2300 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 TC-46/2300 turns shafts up to 2,300 mm (90.55 in) long and ø750 mm (ø29.53 in) in diameter. It belongs to YCM's box-way heavy lathe family, with a 15" chuck, an A2-11 spindle nose and a 30/37 kW (40/50 HP) gearhead spindle.

At this length the questions change from capacity to handling. A shaft over two metres long and several hundred millimetres thick is loaded by crane, and it sags and whips if it is not supported. The tailstock has 2,125 mm (83.66 in) of quill stroke along the bed and clamps to the guideways with two cylinders. Steady rests are the normal answer for slender work; the page does not list them, so they need to be specified with YCM.

YCM lowers the Z rapid as the bed grows. It is 15 m/min (590.55 ipm) here, lower than on the two shorter beds, while X stays at 16 m/min (629.92 ipm). Cutting feed is unchanged at 1~10,000 mm/min.

The structure is one casting with a 45 degree slant and a torque tube, on a box way base that YCM gives as 950mm wide. Chips fall clear of the spindle into a large space below. The spindle bore is ø130 mm (ø5.12 in) and the draw bar hole ø117 mm (ø4.61 in). The servo turret carries 10 tools, or 12 as an option, and an automatic tool pre-setter can be added to shorten setup. The machine weighs 14,300 kg (31,526 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How long a workpiece can the TC-46/2300 turn?

Maximum turning length is 2,300 mm (90.55 in) and Z travel is 2,300 mm (90.55 in). Maximum turning diameter is ø750 mm (ø29.53 in), with a ø982 mm (ø38.66 in) swing over the turret.

02 What spindle does it have?

A gearhead spindle with a 30/37 kW (40/50 HP) motor on an A2-11 nose. Speed is 1,800 rpm with the 15" chuck, 1,600 rpm with the 18" chuck and 1,200 rpm with the 21" chuck. The through hole is ø130 mm (ø5.12 in).

03 Are the axes slower than on the shorter models?

Only Z. The Z rapid is 15 m/min (590.55 ipm); the TC-46/1000 and TC-46/1650 are listed at 18 m/min (708.66 ipm). X rapid is 16 m/min (629.92 ipm) on all of them.

04 How is the bed constructed?

YCM describes a MEEHANITE casting frame with a one piece torque tube and a 45 degree slant bed, a 620mm distance between the Z-axis guideways and a box way base of 950mm for heavy duty machining and chip removal.
