Price estimate
We do not have a price for the You Ji VTL1600ATC 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
Two rams become possible at the You Ji VTL1600ATC. You Ji's model key offers the double ram (2R) version from the 1600 upward, which makes this the smallest VTL vertical turning lathe that can cut with two heads at once or keep a turning ram and a milling ram set up side by side.
The standard machine has a Ø1,600 mm (63.0 in) table and turns up to Ø1,800 mm (70.9 in) under a Ø2,000 mm (78.7 in) swing. Turning height is 1,200 mm (47.2 in) and loading weight 8,000 kg (17,637 lb). A 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) motor drives the table at 1-250 rpm, and the ram takes BT-50 shank tools from the automatic tool changer.
Against the VTL1200ATC, the gain is diameter and weight, not height or power: both machines have the same motor and the same 5,400 mm (212.6 in) overall height. For a foundry or forge shop that means the 1600 handles wider rings and wheel centres but will not remove metal faster on a given cut. The VTL2000ATC is the step that brings a 60/75 kW (80.5/100.6 hp) motor.
Other builds in the key are ATC+C with C-axis function, two raised-column heights and an automatic pallet changer. Floor dimension is 5,850 x 4,510 mm (230.3 x 177.6 in).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yes. The model key reads 2R: Double RAM (1600 and upward). The catalogue's specification table covers the single-ram VTL1600ATC only, so travels and power of the second ram have to be requested from You Ji.
02
Up to Ø1,800 mm (70.9 in) turning diameter, Ø2,000 mm (78.7 in) swing, 1,200 mm (47.2 in) turning height and 8,000 kg (17,637 lb). The table diameter is Ø1,600 mm (63.0 in).
03
The spindle motor is 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) and the speed range 1-250 rpm. The VTL2000ATC, one size up, has a 60/75 kW (80.5/100.6 hp) motor and 1-200 rpm.
04
The floor dimension is 5,850 x 4,510 mm (230.3 x 177.6 in) and the height 5,400 mm (212.6 in). Raised-column builds are taller than the figure in the table; the catalogue does not print their height.
