Price estimate
We do not have a price for the You Ji VTL2500ATC 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
For shops that want a pallet changer on the biggest possible table, the You Ji VTL2500ATC is the limit. You Ji lists the automatic pallet changer for VTL sizes 1000 to 2500, and this CNC vertical turning lathe sits at the top of that span with a Ø2,500 mm (98.4 in) table.
It turns Ø2,800 mm (110.2 in), swings Ø3,000 mm (118.1 in) and accepts parts 1,600 mm (63.0 in) high. Loading weight is 15,000 kg (33,069 lb), half as much again as the VTL2000ATC. The drive is the same 60/75 kW (80.5/100.6 hp) motor, here geared for 1-160 rpm.
The tool shank is BT-50, changed automatically. The next size, the VTL3000ATC, is where the table lists BT-50/BT-60 and where the footprint jumps to 11,000 x 7,000 mm (433.1 x 275.6 in). By comparison the VTL2500ATC is a compact machine at 7,550 x 5,130 mm (297.2 x 202.0 in) and 6,650 mm (261.8 in) high, which is why it is often the largest vertical lathe that fits an existing bay without civil work on the scale of the bigger models.
Double ram and ATC+C builds apply, as do the two raised-column heights. Typical parts are wind-turbine bearing rings, large valve bodies, mill rolls stood on end and reducer housings.

03
Maximum turning diameter is Ø2,800 mm (110.2 in), maximum swing Ø3,000 mm (118.1 in) and maximum turning height 1,600 mm (63.0 in). The spindle motor is 60/75 kW (80.5/100.6 hp) with a range of 1-160 rpm.
04
7,550 x 5,130 mm (297.2 x 202.0 in) of floor and 6,650 mm (261.8 in) of height. The pallet changer and chip conveyor extend beyond the tabled floor dimension, and the catalogue does not print the combined layout.
