YCM FX380A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The YCM FX380A is a high-performance 5-axis vertical machining center designed for precision work on small, complex parts in aerospace, automotive, medical, die, and mold manufacturing. It features a 15" x 15" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 551 lbs, with a rotary table providing 360° C-axis rotation and an A-axis tilting range of +30° to -120° for enhanced machining flexibility. The machine offers linear guideways and pre-tensioned ball screws for smooth, accurate axial movements with maximum travels of 27.56" (X), 20.47" (Y), and 18.9" (Z). Its vertical spindle runs up to 12,000 rpm (optionally 15,000 rpm) with a robust 30 HP motor using a BBT40 taper, providing powerful and precise cutting performance. The CNC control system (typically FANUC MXP-200FB) supports simultaneous 5-axis machining, equipped with a 30-tool automatic tool changer (expandable to 60 tools), allowing complex geometries to be machined efficiently. The machine incorporates advanced functions such as automatic tool length measurement, graphical programming interfaces, and Jerk control for smooth acceleration. High rigidity is ensured with an extra-wide column and Meehanite casting. Rapid traverse rates reach 1417 ipm on the linear axes. Additional features include coolant through spindle, hydraulic or pneumatic cable preparation, and comprehensive chip management systems. Overall, the YCM FX380A delivers high accuracy, rigidity, and flexible multi-axis machining capabilities ideal for reducing setup times and improving complex part quality in demanding industrial applications.
