YCM TV116B

Q: How much does the YCM TV116B cost?

The price estimate for the YCM TV116B 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-tv116b#price; the request is passed to YCM or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the YCM TV116B 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 TV116B is the entry model of the TV series, YCM's 50-taper vertical machining centers on a patented T-shaped base. It offers 1,100 mm (43.31 in) of X travel, 600 mm (23.62 in) of Y and 630 mm (24.80 in) of Z, with a BT50 gearhead spindle that tops out at 6,000 rpm.

The base is the idea behind the series. X runs along the top of the base and the cross saddle carries the table over its full stroke, so the table never overhangs its support. All axes slide on hardened and ground square guideways with a Turcite-B coating, scraped for contact, and the Z headstock counterweight runs on a guide bar. This is a damping-first design, and the axis figures show the cost: rapids of 16 m/min (630 ipm) and cutting feed to 5,000 mm/min (196.9 ipm).

The table lists 25 kW (33.5 HP) for the standard spindle and a 10,000 rpm, 45 kW (60.4 HP) option; YCM's feature text gives the gearhead's torque as 48.04 kgf-m. The quill type housing is cooled. Tools can weigh 20 kg (44 lb), and the magazine holds 24, 32 or 40 of them.

Two rows carry a second figure in brackets: table size 1,200 x 600 mm with 1,200 x 560 mm, and table load 1,200 kg with 600 kg. The bracketed values equal those of the pallet-changing TV116B-APC, which has a 1,200 x 560 mm (47.24 x 22.05 in) table rated at 600 kg (1,323 lb). Machine weight is 11,200 kg (24,692 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the T-base design of the TV116B?

The X axis lies on top of the base and the cross Y-axis saddle supports the work table, so the table is supported over its full stroke with no overhang. YCM states the design is patented in Taiwan, China and the U.S.A. and uses MEEHANITE castings.

02 What spindle does the TV116B have?

A BT50 gearhead spindle with a maximum of 6,000 rpm; the table lists 25 kW (33.5 HP). A 10,000 rpm spindle with 45 kW (60.4 HP) and a BBT50 taper are options. YCM's feature text gives 48.04 kgf-m of torque for the gearhead.

03 What are the travels and feeds?

Travels are 1,100 mm (43.31 in) in X, 600 mm (23.62 in) in Y and 630 mm (24.80 in) in Z. Rapid traverse is 16 m/min (630 ipm) on every axis and cutting feed is 1~5,000 mm/min (0.04~196.9 ipm).

04 Why does the table list two table sizes and loads?

The page does not say. The first values are 1,200 x 600 mm and 1,200 kg; the bracketed values, 1,200 x 560 mm and 600 kg, are the ones listed for the TV116B-APC with its pallet changer, a 1,200 x 560 mm (47.24 x 22.05 in) table and 600 kg (1,323 lb).
