YCM TV146B

Q: How much does the YCM TV146B cost?

The price estimate for the YCM TV146B 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-tv146b#price; the request is passed to YCM or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the YCM TV146B 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 TV146B is a 50-taper vertical machining center with 1,400 mm (55.12 in) of X travel, 620 mm (24.41 in) of Y and 630 mm (24.80 in) of Z. It is the mid-size machine among the TV models that share the 600 mm class saddle, and it carries 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) on a 1,500 x 600 mm (59.06 x 23.62 in) table.

YCM adds one line to this model's description that the TV116B does not have: the Y axis runs on 4 guideways. With a longer table hanging more mass over the saddle, the extra pair of ways spreads the load and keeps the cut stable at the ends of the X stroke. The guideways themselves are the series' square, hardened and ground type with Turcite-B, and the base is the T-shaped casting on which the table never overhangs.

Against the TV116B the weight rises from 11,200 kg (24,692 lb) to 12,300 kg (27,117 lb). The spindle is the same BT50 gearhead, 6,000 rpm with 25 kW (33.5 HP) in the table, and the same 10,000 rpm, 45 kW (60.4 HP) option. Axis speeds are also unchanged at 16 m/min (630 ipm).

Spindle nose to table is printed as 153~783 mm, followed by 403~1,033 mm in brackets. The page gives no explanation of the second range, so check with YCM before relying on it for tall workpieces. The swivel operation panel has a detachable handwheel for setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels of the TV146B?

X is 1,400 mm (55.12 in), Y is 620 mm (24.41 in) and Z is 630 mm (24.80 in). The table is 1,500 x 600 mm (59.06 x 23.62 in) and is rated for 1,500 kg (3,307 lb).

02 How does the TV146B compare with the TV116B?

It is longer and carries more. The TV116B has 1,100 mm (43.31 in) of X travel and weighs 11,200 kg (24,692 lb). The TV146B has 1,400 mm (55.12 in) of X, a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) table rating, 4 guideways on Y and weighs 12,300 kg (27,117 lb).

03 What guideways does it use?

All axes have hardened, precision ground square guideways with a Turcite-B coating, finished by scraping. The Y axis has 4 guideways. The Z-axis headstock counterweight is secured by a guide bar to reduce vibration.

04 How fast is the spindle?

The standard BT50 gearhead spindle runs to 6,000 rpm, with 25 kW (33.5 HP) in the table. A 10,000 rpm spindle with 45 kW (60.4 HP) is optional, as is a BBT50 taper.
