Overview

On the You Ji VHL1600ATC a side head works alongside the main ram of a Ø1,600 mm (63.0 in) vertical turning center. The machine turns Ø1,800 mm (70.9 in), swings Ø2,000 mm (78.7 in) and takes parts 1,200 mm (47.2 in) high.

Most of its column in the catalogue repeats the smaller VHL1200ATC. Z1 travel is 900 mm (35.4 in), crossrail travel 800 mm (31.5 in), and the side head again has 1,720 mm (67.7 in) of X2 and 800 mm (31.5 in) of Z2. The motors are the same pair: 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) (α40i) for the table and 7.5/11 kW (10.1/14.8 hp) (α8i) for the side head's live spindle.

The row that changes is X1. The main ram travels -600, +1,050 mm (-23.6, +41.3 in), a longer positive stroke to reach the rim of the larger table. Because the side head's X2 stroke is not lengthened, how far it can retract from and approach a full-diameter part is worth checking on the layout drawing.

Floor dimension is 12,500 x 6,200 mm (492.1 x 244.1 in) and height 5,500 mm (216.5 in). The series key lists ATC, ATC+C and two column height increases. Rail wheels and tyres, large brake drums, crane sheaves and flanged cylinders are the kind of part where a tool on the outside and a tool on the face can cut together.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What changes from the VHL1200ATC to the VHL1600ATC?

The table, swing and turning diameter grow, and X1 travel becomes -600, +1,050 mm (-23.6, +41.3 in). On the VHL1200ATC it is -600, +875 mm (-23.6, +34.4 in). Z1, crossrail, side head travels and both motors are unchanged.

02 What are the side head figures?

X2-axis travel 1,720 mm (67.7 in), Z2-axis travel 800 mm (31.5 in) and a live spindle motor of 7.5/11 kW (10.1/14.8 hp), marked α8i in the catalogue.

03 What is the working envelope?

Table Ø1,600 mm (63.0 in), maximum swing Ø2,000 mm (78.7 in), maximum turning diameter Ø1,800 mm (70.9 in) and maximum turning height 1,200 mm (47.2 in).

04 How much space does it need?

The floor dimension is 12,500 x 6,200 mm (492.1 x 244.1 in) and the machine height 5,500 mm (216.5 in). The length comes from the side head column standing beside the table.
