How much does the You Ji YH36 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the You Ji YH36 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
Four bed lengths are listed for the You Ji YH36, a 15 in (381 mm) chuck CNC horizontal turning lathe: the maximum turning length is given as 750/1,350/2,000/3,000 mm (29.5/53.1/78.7/118.1 in). The catalogue pictures the machine as YH36/200 and YH36+C/200, the suffix naming the length.
Its spindle is in the heavy class. The nose is A2-11, bar capacity Ø89 mm (3.5 in), and the motor 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp), double the rating of the YH28. Speed range is 1-2,000 rpm. Maximum turning diameter is Ø600 mm (23.6 in) and swing Ø720 mm (28.3 in).
So what does a buyer get across the four lengths? The same headstock, the same 10-st. turret and the same cross-section, on beds that take the machine length from one end to the other of 5,000-8,010 mm (196.9-315.4 in). Width is 2,340-2,510 mm (92.1-98.8 in) and height 2,340 mm (92.1 in). The shortest bed is a big chucker for flanges and hubs. The longest suits shafts, rolls and long hydraulic cylinders, and for those the tailstock and steady rest arrangement is the thing to settle with the maker, since the table lists neither.
The +C version adds the C-axis function that the YH key lists from the YH21 upward.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The maximum turning length row reads 750/1,350/2,000/3,000 mm (29.5/53.1/78.7/118.1 in). Machine length is listed as 5,000-8,010 mm (196.9-315.4 in) depending on the bed.
02
An A2-11 spindle nose with Ø89 mm (3.5 in) bar capacity, a 15 in (381 mm) chuck and a 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) motor. The speed range is 1-2,000 rpm.
03
