2008 YCM NTV158A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2008 YCM NTV158A is a 3-axis traveling-column vertical machining center produced by Yeong Chin Machinery Industries of Taiwan, engineered for the machining of long, thin, or heavy workpieces that benefit from a fixed table configuration where the column travels along the X-axis rather than the workpiece moving. The traveling-column design decouples the workpiece mass from the axis dynamics, enabling faster and more precise axis motion regardless of workpiece weight. The machine offers X/Y/Z travels of 60.2 x 30.0 x 27.6 inches over a fixed 64.96 x 29.9 inch working table with a 4,409 lb capacity. The BBT40 spindle operates at up to 12,000 RPM with 22 kW (approximately 30 HP) of continuous spindle power, with an optional 15,000 RPM HSK-A100 spindle available for high-speed applications. A standard 24-station automatic tool changer expandable to 30 or 40 tools supports complex production programs. Rapid traverse rates of 1,181 IPM on X and Y axes and 945 IPM on Z ensure productive non-cutting transitions. The Fanuc control with rigid tapping, DNC Ethernet, and helical interpolation provides a capable programming environment. The NTV158A’s T-base structural design with the table supported at multiple points minimizes sag and maintains geometric accuracy across the full X-axis stroke, making it well suited for automotive, aerospace structural, and large die/mold machining applications.
