How much does the You Ji VMC1100 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the You Ji VMC1100 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
A 1,260 x 550 mm (49.6 x 21.7 in) table and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of X travel make the You Ji VMC1100 the long-table member of the 40-taper VMC series. It keeps the 600 mm (23.6 in) Y and Z travels, the BT-40 spindle and the 8,000 rpm speed of the VMC850, whose X travel is 850 mm (33.5 in).
Who needs that? Shops running three vises in a row, long bars and rails, or a rotary fixture with a tailstock that eats table length. The table is still 550 mm (21.7 in) deep against 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y stroke, so the spindle reaches past both table edges.
All three axes slide on box guide ways. You Ji states that the structure is a high-grade casting and that the spindle head is built to support the spindle stably; the practical effect of box ways is a machine suited to roughing rather than to high-acceleration contouring. The ballscrews are C3 level and pre-tensioned.
The standard tool changer is an umbrella type. An arm-type ATC is an option on the VMC1100, worth having when cycle times include many tool changes. A dual speed gearbox is a second option. Floor space is 2,450 x 4,180 mm (96.5 x 164.6 in), and there is a step up after this size: the VMC1350 moves to BT-50 and 4,500 rpm.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,100 mm (43.3 in) X travel over a 1,260 x 550 mm (49.6 x 21.7 in) table
- Box guide ways on X, Y and Z
- 8,000 rpm BT-40 spindle, with a dual speed gearbox as an option
- Arm-type ATC option for shorter tool changes than the umbrella type
- Same 2,450 mm width as the VMC850, so it fits the same aisle
Limitations
- Y travel stays at 600 mm (23.6 in); the wider VMC1350 has 700 mm (27.6 in)
- No table load figure is published for this model
- BT-40 only; BT-50 starts with the VMC1350
- Umbrella changer as standard, arm type only as an option

Frequently Asked Questions
01
1,260 x 550 mm (49.6 x 21.7 in). X-axis travel is 1,100 mm (43.3 in), so the table overhangs the stroke by a small amount at each end, and Y-axis travel is 600 mm (23.6 in).
02
A BT-40 spindle listed at 8,000 rpm. You Ji offers a dual speed gearbox as an option for heavy cutting. Spindle motor power is not printed in the catalogue table for this series.
