How much does the You Ji YV1600 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the You Ji YV1600 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 YV1600 tops the YV range: a vertical turning lathe with a Ø1,600 mm (63.0 in) table, Ø1,800 mm (70.9 in) maximum turning diameter and Ø2,000 mm (78.7 in) swing. Workpieces up to 1,200 mm (47.2 in) high and 8,000 kg (17,637 lb) are within its table figures.
You Ji builds two families at this diameter, and the comparison is useful. The VTL1600ATC from the VTL series lists the same table, swing, turning diameter, height, load, motor and speed range. What differs in the catalogue is the structure, the tooling row and the layout. The YV1600 stands on 5,300 x 5,500 mm (208.7 x 216.5 in) and is 5,300 mm (208.7 in) tall.
Power comes from a 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) motor through a 1-250 rpm range. That is the slowest range in the YV table and it tells you what the machine is for: heavy rings, large valve and pump casings, wheel centres and similar parts where the cut is long and the diameter large.
Build choices follow the top of the model key: vertical type turret (A), automatic tool changer (ATC), ATC with C-axis function (ATC+C) and automatic pallet changer (APC). Both the ATC and APC ranges end at the 1600. Beyond this size the maker's catalogue moves to the VTL, VTS and VTH series.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Ø1,800 mm (70.9 in) turning diameter and Ø2,000 mm (78.7 in) swing, the largest of the YV range
- 8,000 kg (17,637 lb) maximum loading weight
- Height of 5,300 mm (208.7 in), below the 5,400 mm (212.6 in) of the YV1200
- ATC, ATC+C and APC builds are all listed at this size
Limitations
- 1-250 rpm is the slowest speed range in the YV table
- 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) motor is shared with the much smaller YV1000
- Turning height stays at 1,200 mm (47.2 in), the same as the YV1200
- End of the YV line: larger work means changing series

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The catalogue lists a maximum turning diameter of Ø1,800 mm (70.9 in), a maximum swing of Ø2,000 mm (78.7 in), a maximum turning height of 1,200 mm (47.2 in) and a maximum loading weight of 8,000 kg (17,637 lb). The table is Ø1,600 mm (63.0 in).
02
The capacity rows match: Ø1,800 mm (70.9 in) turning diameter, 1,200 mm (47.2 in) height, 8,000 kg (17,637 lb), 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) and 1-250 rpm. The VTL1600ATC is described as a symmetric column and base design with a BT-50 tool shank and measures 5,850 x 4,510 mm (230.3 x 177.6 in) by 5,400 mm (212.6 in) high.
03
The spindle motor is 37/45 kW (49.6/60.3 hp) and the speed range 1-250 rpm. The YV1200 runs the same motor at 1-350 rpm. Torque values are not printed in the catalogue table.
04
You Ji lists an automatic pallet changer (APC) for YV sizes 800 to 1600, so the build exists for this model. The table does not give pallet size, pallet load or the extra floor area, and those decide whether it suits a given part family.
