Price estimate: uncertain

We have no price for the You Ji VTL4000ATC that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so this page shows no number rather than a guess. A quote from You Ji or an authorised dealer is the reliable figure.

What moves the final price

  • Spindle, control and probing options
  • Tool changer capacity and tooling package
  • Automation — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot cells
  • Freight, rigging, installation and training

Overview

100 kW (134.1 hp) is the spindle motor rating of the You Ji VTL4000ATC, the first VTL vertical turning lathe with a three-figure motor rating. The table is Ø4,000 mm (157.5 in), the turning diameter Ø4,300 mm (169.3 in) and the swing Ø4,600 mm (181.1 in).

Loading weight rises with the motor, to 30,000 kg (66,138 lb). Table speed is 1-60 rpm, half the top speed of the VTL3500ATC, which keeps rim speed in a workable band at more than four metres of diameter. Turning height is 1,600 mm (63.0 in); note that this is a little less than the 1,700 mm (66.9 in) of the VTL3000ATC and VTL3500ATC.

What kind of shop buys one? Makers of wind-turbine hubs and bearing seats, hydro and steam turbine components, ring-rolled flanges and large pump casings. Those parts combine diameter with long, heavy roughing passes, and a 100 kW drive shortens them.

The ram takes BT-50/BT-60 tools from an automatic changer. You Ji also lists a double ram build, a C-axis build and raised columns for the series. The catalogue floor dimension is 12,500 x 8,500 mm (492.1 x 334.6 in) at 7,400 mm (291.3 in) height. The VTS4000ATC is the fixed cross-rail alternative with the same motor and load and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of turning height; the VTH4000ATC doubles the load to 60,000 kg (132,275 lb).
