Price estimate
We do not have a price for the You Ji YV1200 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
Turning height is the reason to look at the You Ji YV1200. At 1,200 mm (47.2 in) it clears parts a third taller than the YV1000 can take, on a table quoted at Ø1,250 mm (49.2 in) with a maximum turning diameter of Ø1,350 mm (53.1 in).
The machine is a single-column vertical turning lathe from the upper end of the YV range. Its swing is Ø1,600 mm (63.0 in) and the maximum loading weight 5,000 kg (11,023 lb). The spindle motor matches the YV1000 at 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp), while the speed range is cut to 1-350 rpm to suit the larger diameter.
Tall work changes what matters in the tooling. A long boring bar reaching down a 1,200 mm (47.2 in) bore puts the load on the ram, and the catalogue table says nothing about ram section or stroke for this series. That is a question for the quotation. What the model key does establish is the choice of a vertical type turret (A) or a tool changer (ATC, or ATC+C with C-axis function), and the option of an automatic pallet changer (APC).
The YV1200 covers 4,600 x 5,200 mm (181.1 x 204.7 in) of floor. Its height of 5,400 mm (212.6 in) is the greatest in the YV table, more than the YV1600 at 5,300 mm (208.7 in), so building clearance should be settled first.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,200 mm (47.2 in) turning height, against 900 mm (35.4 in) on the YV1000
- 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) maximum loading weight on a Ø1,250 mm (49.2 in) table
- Ø1,600 mm (63.0 in) swing over a Ø1,350 mm (53.1 in) turning diameter
- Turret (A), ATC, ATC+C and APC builds are listed for the size
Limitations
- Height of 5,400 mm (212.6 in) is the greatest in the YV table
- 1-350 rpm range restricts small-diameter work
- The table gives no ram or axis travel figures for the series
- Same 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) motor as the smaller YV1000

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The maximum turning height is 1,200 mm (47.2 in). Maximum turning diameter is Ø1,350 mm (53.1 in), swing Ø1,600 mm (63.0 in) and loading weight 5,000 kg (11,023 lb). The YV1600 offers the same turning height on a larger diameter.
02
A 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) spindle motor and a speed range of 1-350 rpm. The YV1000 uses the same motor with a 1-600 rpm range, and the YV1600 the same motor at 1-250 rpm, so the three differ in gearing, not in installed power.
03
Floor dimension is 4,600 x 5,200 mm (181.1 x 204.7 in) and machine height 5,400 mm (212.6 in). A crane has to lift parts over the table within that height, so the usable hook height of the bay is the first thing to verify.
04
The model key covers this size with A (vertical type turret), ATC (automatic tool changer), ATC+C (ATC with C-axis function) and APC (automatic pallet changer). Gang tool, vertical power turret and horizontal turret builds are limited to smaller sizes.
