YCM TV116B-APC

Q: How much does the YCM TV116B-APC cost?

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

Overview

Pallet changers are rare on 50-taper vertical machines, which is what makes the YCM TV116B-APC worth a look. It adds a shuttle type automatic pallet changer to the TV116B: the travels stay at 1,100 x 600 x 630 mm (43.31 x 23.62 x 24.80 in) and the spindle remains the BT50 gearhead unit at 6,000 rpm.

YCM gives the pallet change time as 25 sec and the pallet load as 600 kg (1,323 lb), on a pallet of 1,200 x 560 mm (47.24 x 22.05 in). Heavy cuts usually mean long cycles and long setups: a casting has to be craned in, located and clamped. Doing that on the idle pallet while the spindle works on the other one is where the changer earns its place. The limit to watch is the 600 kg, which has to cover fixture and part together.

The pallet system sits lower under the spindle than a fixed table. Spindle nose to table is listed as 68~698 mm, with 318~948 mm in brackets and no note on what the bracketed range refers to. The changer also adds mass, taking the machine to 12,760 kg (28,131 lb).

The cutting side is unchanged from the series: square guideways with Turcite-B on all axes, 25 kW (33.5 HP) in the table with a 45 kW (60.4 HP), 10,000 rpm option, 20 kg (44 lb) tools and a choice of 24, 32 or 40-tool magazines. Rapid traverse is 16 m/min (630 ipm).
