How much does the You Ji VLM1100 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the You Ji VLM1100 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
Take 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of X travel, put every axis on linear guide ways, and the result is the You Ji VLM1100. Among You Ji's three 1,100-class vertical machining centers it is the one built for motion rather than for mass.
Its table is 1,260 x 550 mm (49.6 x 21.7 in). A long table on rolling guides suits batch work: pallets of small parts, long profiles finished in a single clamping, or a fourth-axis fixture with its support at the far end. Each tool has to visit every station, and that traffic is what linear ways handle well.
The spindle is a BT-40 unit listed at 8,000 rpm, and Y and Z travel 600 mm (23.6 in) apiece. Clearance under the spindle nose runs 100-700 mm (3.9-27.6 in).
Be clear about what the catalogue leaves open. It prints no rapid rate, no table load and no tool changer detail for the VLM series, and the specification row is the same as for the box-way VMC1100. Anyone comparing the two on paper sees only the guide way note. A table loaded with heavy fixtures along its whole length is a reason to ask You Ji for the permitted load on the linear version specifically. Floor space is 2,450 x 4,180 mm (96.5 x 164.6 in).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- All three axes on linear guide ways
- 1,260 x 550 mm (49.6 x 21.7 in) table with 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of X travel
- 100-700 mm (3.9-27.6 in) from spindle nose to table
- BT-40 spindle at 8,000 rpm
Limitations
- No published table load, which matters on a long linear-way table
- Largest VLM size; longer or BT-50 work needs the box-way VMC1350
- Spindle speed is the same 8,000 rpm as the box-way models, with no faster option in the table
- Machine height of 3,030 mm (119.3 in)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
In the Z-axis. Both have linear guide ways on X and Y. The VLM1100 also has a linear guide way on Z, while the VTM1100 has a box guide way there. The travels and the 8,000 rpm BT-40 spindle are identical in the catalogue.
02
The travels are 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in X, 600 mm (23.6 in) in Y and 600 mm (23.6 in) in Z over a 1,260 x 550 mm (49.6 x 21.7 in) table. Weight capacity is not stated, so confirm it for heavy workpieces.
03
BT-40. The spindle speed is listed as 8,000 rpm. The VLM table does not give the tool magazine type or capacity, and it does not give maximum tool diameter, length or weight.
04
Yes. The VLM850 has 850 mm (33.5 in) of X travel and a 1,000 x 550 mm (39.4 x 21.7 in) table, in a floor space of 2,450 x 3,780 mm (96.5 x 148.8 in) against 2,450 x 4,180 mm (96.5 x 164.6 in) for the VLM1100.
