YCM TC-36 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The YCM TC-36 Horizontal Machining Center is a precision CNC turning center engineered for high-rigidity and high-performance metalworking. It features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 23.23 inches and a maximum turning length of 46.81 inches, accommodating large workpieces. The spindle includes a 12-inch diameter chuck and operates at speeds up to 2,500 RPM, powered by a 35 HP motor that delivers up to 1,013 lb-ft of torque through a built-in gearbox system for versatile speed transmission and robust cutting capability. The machine is equipped with a 12-station turret capable of holding up to 12 tools, allowing versatile and efficient tooling changes with a single simultaneous cutting tool to optimize machining operations. It has a three-axis configuration with X, Y, and Z axes travels of 12.2 inches, 0 inches (implied minimal Y-axis movement), and 49.21 inches respectively, with a rapid feed rate of 591 inches per minute on all axes, enabling high-speed machining while maintaining precision. The TC-36 utilizes high precision directly driven ballscrews with pre-tension support, ensuring low thermal distortion and high positional accuracy. A stand-alone oil tank system minimizes heat deformation to maintain machining precision. The tailstock is programmable with hydraulic control for enhanced support during machining long workpieces. The robust Meehanite® base casting minimizes vibration, further improving machining accuracy and surface finish quality. This machine supports demanding industrial turning applications requiring durability, rigidity, and precise axis control.
