2007 YCM WV108B VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2007 YCM WV108B is a 3-axis vertical machining center manufactured by Yeong Chin Machinery Industries of Taiwan, representing the B-revision of the WV108A with updated spindle specification optimized for heavier cutting applications in die and mold work. The WV108B maintains the extended Y-axis design of the WV series with X/Y/Z travels of 44.1 x 30.0 x 27.6 inches over a 51.2 x 32.3 inch working table, providing the generous Y reach needed for wide mold bases and large automotive die sections. The spindle is configured for 10,000 RPM with the IDD spindle system using oversize angular contact ceramic ball bearings that generate minimal heat while providing excellent radial and axial rigidity for hard milling and heavy drilling operations. A dual-winding AC spindle motor delivers high torque at low spindle speeds for roughing and maximum horsepower at high speeds for finishing. The ultra-wide Y-axis base and double-gib headstock support structure maintain accuracy across the full extended Y travel. A standard automatic tool changer enables multi-operation production programs. The Fanuc MXP control provides rigid tapping, DNC, and helical interpolation. The WV108B’s combination of extended Y travel, rigid IDD spindle, and heavy-duty structural design positioned it as a cost-effective alternative to double-column machines for shops requiring wide-table capability without full bridge-type investment.
