Double column VMCs come in three large X-axis sizes November 2008
 
The YCM DCV series of large capacity double column vertical machining centres combine accuracy, rigidity and power and are aimed at the demands of the mould and die, automotive and aerospace industry sectors.

Models include the DCV 2016B, 3016B and 4016B all of which feature 1,600 mm Y-axis travels and 762 mm vertical Z-axis travels. The X-axis travels are 2,160, 3,060 and 4,065 mm respectively. The DCV 2016B is able to accept workpieces up to 8,000 kg on its 2,360 by 1,500 mm worktable, while the DCV 3016B has a 3,260 by 1,500 mm worktable that can accommodate loads of up to 10,000 kg. The larger DCV 4016B can handle components or raw material weighing up to 12,000 kg on its 4,260 by 1,500 worktable. Rapid traverse rates for each model are 15 m/min in all axes with a cutting feedrate of 1-10,000 mm/min.

The extremely wide Y-axis is supported by three oversized roller type guideways to reinforce the cutting rigidity in both axial and radial directions. Two roller guides are located on the face of the bridge while the third sits on top to enhance the holding force on the headstock. As well as low friction motion the roller guideways provide improved static and dynamic load bearing capacity, superior geometric accuracy for enhanced surface finish and better vibration damping for extended tool life.

A two-step gear driven 4,500 rpm spindle is fitted as standard.
