Yasda YBM 640V3 3-axis CNC jig borer

Methods Machine Tools Inc. offers the Yasda YBM 640V3 3-axis CNC jig borer for high-speed boring and milling of critical, complex components, such as molds and dies. A reinforcement rib under the bridge enhances rigidity and minimizes vibration during acceleration and deceleration, and hand-scraped alignment of box ways through-hardened to 60 HRC provides mechanical accuracy, according to the company. To reduce thermal distortion, there is a bridge cooling system under the X-axis guide, and a jacket cooling system for the X- and Y-axis ball nuts to prevent loss of ballscrew pretension. A 24,000-rpm spindle is standard; a 30,000 rpm version is optional. The table is 27.5″×17.7″ (700mm × 450mm), with a table load capacity of 661 lbs. (300 kg). The X-axis travel is 23.6″ (600mm), Y-axis travel is 15.7″ (400mm) and Z-axis travel is 13.8″ (350mm). The automatic toolchanger stores up to 100 tools.
