2001 YCM FV56A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2001 YCM FV56A is a 3-axis vertical machining center manufactured by Yeong Chin Machinery Industries of Taiwan, offering a compact work envelope well suited to precision machining of small-to-medium components in job shop, toolroom, and light production environments. The machine provides X/Y/Z travels of 22.0 x 16.1 x 17.7 inches over a 22.0 x 16.1 inch working table with a maximum table load of 661 lbs. The BT40 spindle achieves speeds up to 10,000 RPM, with optional 12,000 and 15,000 RPM spindle configurations available to suit specific application requirements. A 20-station automatic tool changer supports efficient multi-feature programs on small precision parts. The Fanuc MXP 100i control provides standard CNC programming with rigid tapping, helical interpolation, and RS-232 DNC capability. The machine’s cast iron construction minimizes vibration and thermal drift during continuous machining, while the fully enclosed guarding and integrated chip and coolant management maintain a clean cutting environment. The FV56A’s compact overall footprint of approximately 98 x 77 x 97 inches makes it suitable for facilities with limited floor space. At approximately 6,600 lbs machine weight, the FV56A offers excellent rigidity relative to its size. It is a reliable and straightforward VMC platform that served the precision parts manufacturing market throughout the early 2000s.
