2000 YCM FV102A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2000 YCM FV102A is a 3-axis vertical machining center produced by Yeong Chin Machinery Industries of Taiwan, representing the earlier-generation FV series that established YCM’s reputation in the North American market. The machine features X/Y/Z travels of 40.2 x 20.1 x 20.1 inches and a 15 HP spindle capable of reaching 10,000 RPM with a CAT-40 taper, providing a versatile combination of power and speed for milling aluminum, steel, and cast iron components. The Fanuc MXP-based CNC control delivers a familiar and capable programming interface with rigid tapping, helical interpolation, and DNC file transfer. Cast iron construction throughout the machine base, column, and saddle provides the damping and thermal mass needed for consistent dimensional accuracy in production environments. An automatic tool changer enables unattended multi-operation cycles, and the enclosed coolant system with chip management supports clean production-floor operation. The FV102A’s combination of compact footprint and 40-inch X-stroke made it a popular choice for North American job shops and production facilities during the early 2000s seeking reliable, cost-effective Taiwanese VMC performance. At approximately 12,100 lbs machine weight, the FV102A offers the structural mass to damp vibration effectively during continuous cutting cycles across a broad range of workpiece materials and operations.
