Price estimate
We do not have a price for the You Ji VM85-2S 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 You Ji VM85-2S is a double spindle vertical machining center: two BT-40 spindles cut two identical parts in one cycle on a box guide way machine. The 2S in the name stands for double spindle, and the series is also listed with an automatic pallet changer (APC).
Its X-axis travel is 460 mm (18.1 in). That looks short on a 1,000 x 550 mm (39.4 x 21.7 in) table until the layout is considered. Each spindle works its own half of the table, so the stroke only has to cover one part, and the table length carries two fixtures side by side. Y-axis and Z-axis travel are 600 mm (23.6 in) each.
Spindle speed is 6,000 rpm, and maximum table load is 800 kg (1,764 lb) for both fixtures and both parts together. The machine suits parts made in the thousands that need moderate speeds: brake components, pump bodies, brackets, small housings in iron or steel.
Twin-spindle work has conditions. Both parts see the same program, so fixtures must locate them at the spindle spacing, and tool lengths must be matched in pairs. The catalogue gives neither the distance between the spindles nor any independent Z adjustment, and both should be confirmed before fixtures are designed. Outside, the machine is the size of a single-spindle 850: 2,450 x 3,780 mm (96.5 x 148.8 in) on the floor and 3,030 mm (119.3 in) high.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Two BT-40 spindles machine two parts per cycle
- Box guide ways on X, Y and Z
- 800 kg (1,764 lb) table load on a 1,000 x 550 mm (39.4 x 21.7 in) table
- Automatic pallet changer (APC) is listed for the series
- Floor space of 2,450 x 3,780 mm (96.5 x 148.8 in), no larger than a single-spindle machine
Limitations
- X-axis travel is 460 mm (18.1 in), which caps the size of each part
- 6,000 rpm spindles, slower than the 8,000 rpm of the single-spindle VMC850
- Spindle centre distance is not published
- Paired tools must be set to matching lengths, which adds presetting work

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Double spindle. You Ji describes the series as a CNC vertical machining center with box guide ways on the X, Y and Z axes, with 2S for double spindle and APC for automatic pallet changer.
02
X-axis travel is 460 mm (18.1 in) because two spindles divide the 1,000 x 550 mm (39.4 x 21.7 in) table between them. Each spindle covers its own part, so the stroke is sized for one workpiece, not for the full table.
03
Both spindles are BT-40 and the listed speed is 6,000 rpm. The table carries up to 800 kg (1,764 lb). Spindle nose to table distance is 100-700 mm (3.9-27.6 in), with 600 mm (23.6 in) of Z travel.
04
The VM110-2S has 620 mm (24.4 in) of X-axis travel and a 1,260 x 550 mm (49.6 x 21.7 in) table. Y, Z, the 6,000 rpm BT-40 spindles and the 800 kg (1,764 lb) load are the same on both.
