How much does the You Ji YV1000 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the You Ji YV1000 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
The You Ji YV1000 is where the YV line stops being a chucker and becomes a table-type vertical turning lathe. The catalogue quotes its chuck as Ø1,000 mm (39.4 in), the maximum turning diameter as Ø1,100 mm (43.3 in) and the turning height as 900 mm (35.4 in).
Everything about the drive is scaled for torque. The spindle motor is 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) and the speed range is 1-600 rpm. A range that starts at 1 rpm is for facing and boring a metre-wide casting, where the rim is already moving fast at very low table speed. Loading weight is 4,000 kg (8,818 lb).
The tooling options narrow accordingly. In You Ji's key, horizontal turrets end at the 800, so the YV1000 is offered with the vertical type turret (A), with an automatic tool changer (ATC), or with ATC plus C-axis function (ATC+C). An automatic pallet changer (APC) is listed from the 800 to the 1600 and therefore covers this model, which lets a second part be set up while the first is cut.
It needs a different kind of space from the smaller models. The floor dimension is 4,000 x 4,800 mm (157.5 x 189.0 in) and the height 4,950 mm (194.9 in). Among its siblings, the YV1200 adds turning height to 1,200 mm (47.2 in) and turns Ø1,350 mm (53.1 in), with the same motor and a 1-350 rpm range.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) spindle motor with a 1-600 rpm range for heavy facing and boring
- 4,000 kg (8,818 lb) maximum loading weight
- 900 mm (35.4 in) turning height under a Ø1,350 mm (53.1 in) swing
- ATC, ATC+C and automatic pallet changer (APC) builds are listed for this size
Limitations
- Top speed of 600 rpm rules out efficient work on small diameters
- Needs 4,000 x 4,800 mm (157.5 x 189.0 in) of floor and 4,950 mm (194.9 in) of height
- No horizontal turret builds: the maker's key ends E and E+C at the 800

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum turning diameter Ø1,100 mm (43.3 in), maximum swing Ø1,350 mm (53.1 in), maximum turning height 900 mm (35.4 in) and maximum loading weight 4,000 kg (8,818 lb). The chuck size is given as Ø1,000 mm (39.4 in).
02
It can. The model key lists ATC (automatic tool changer) and ATC+C (with C-axis function) from the 500 to the 1600, alongside the vertical type turret (A). The catalogue table does not say how many tools the changer holds or which shank it uses for this series.
03
The range is 1-600 rpm because the machine is built around large diameters. At Ø1,100 mm (43.3 in) the cutting speed at the rim is high even at low rpm, and the 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) motor is geared to deliver torque there rather than speed.
04
Yes, as a build. You Ji's key lists APC, automatic pallet changer, for sizes 800 to 1600. The spec table gives no pallet dimensions or change time, and the floor dimension of 4,000 x 4,800 mm (157.5 x 189.0 in) is for the machine as tabled, so confirm the APC layout separately.
