YCM TV158B

Q: How much does the YCM TV158B cost?

The price estimate for the YCM TV158B 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-tv158b#price; the request is passed to YCM or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the YCM TV158B 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

With the TV158B, YCM's TV series changes frame size. Y travel jumps to 860 mm (33.86 in) and Z to 750 mm (29.53 in), alongside 1,500 mm (59.06 in) of X, and the machine weight reaches 18,000 kg (39,683 lb). It is a 50-taper vertical machining center for workpieces that are wide as well as long.

A table of 1,700 x 860 mm (66.93 x 33.86 in) rated for 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) takes die shoes, mold bases and welded frames that the narrower TV models cannot reach across. The T-slots grow too, to 22 mm on a 150 mm pitch, which matches the clamping hardware used for parts of that weight.

The headstock gets an inner-rail arrangement on Z, which YCM says keeps it moving smoothly in heavy cuts, and its counterweight is held on a guide bar. Axis speeds step down with the larger masses: 15 m/min (591 ipm) in X and Y and 12 m/min (472 ipm) in Z. Cutting feed is 1~5,000 mm/min.

The spindle offering is the series one. A BT50 gearhead unit at 6,000 rpm is standard with 25 kW (33.5 HP) in the table; 10,000 rpm with 45 kW (60.4 HP) is the option. The magazine holds 24 tools, or 32 or 40, each up to 20 kg (44 lb). A tool can be ø240 x 350 mm in the larger magazines when its neighbours are left out, which covers big face mills and boring heads.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How big is the TV158B work envelope?

Travels are 1,500 mm (59.06 in) in X, 860 mm (33.86 in) in Y and 750 mm (29.53 in) in Z. The table is 1,700 x 860 mm (66.93 x 33.86 in) with T-slots listed as 5 x 22 x 150 mm, and carries 2,000 kg (4,409 lb).

02 How does the TV158B differ from the TV146B?

It is a larger frame. The TV146B has 620 mm (24.41 in) of Y, 630 mm (24.80 in) of Z and weighs 12,300 kg (27,117 lb). The TV158B has 860 mm (33.86 in) of Y, 750 mm (29.53 in) of Z, a 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) table and weighs 18,000 kg (39,683 lb).

03 What rapid and feed rates does it have?

Rapid traverse is 15 m/min (591 ipm) in X and Y and 12 m/min (472 ipm) in Z. Cutting feed is 1~5,000 mm/min (0.04~196.9 ipm). The figures reflect the sliding square guideways and the mass of the machine.
