2007 YAMA SEIKI VMB1200 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2007 Yama Seiki VMB1200 is a 3-axis box-way vertical machining center manufactured by Yama Seiki USA, an earlier designation in what later became the BM series, providing extended X-axis travel in a heavy-duty rigid platform suited to milling longer workpieces. The VMB1200 provides 47.2 inches of X-axis travel, 23.6 inches of Y-axis travel, and 23.6 inches of Z-axis travel, with a table measuring 51.2 by 23.6 inches. The 15 HP spindle reaches 8,000 to 10,000 RPM depending on configuration, providing capable milling performance in steel, aluminum, and engineering plastics. Fanuc CNC control provides reliable G-code programming and a proven production interface. The box-way construction on all linear axes delivers the rigidity and vibration damping that characterize Yama Seiki's heavy-duty VMC series, enabling sustained heavy cutting while maintaining long-term accuracy. At approximately 16,500 pounds, the VMB1200 is a substantial machine with overall dimensions of approximately 134 by 87 inches in floor footprint, reflecting the heavy cast iron construction of the platform. The VMB designation was Yama Seiki's earlier naming convention for this box-way series, with the BM designation adopted in later production years for the same fundamental platform. The 2007 VMB1200 is well-suited to die/mold shops, contract manufacturers, and maintenance departments requiring a rigid, reliable mid-to-large size box-way VMC with extended X-travel for longer workpiece machining.
