YCM JC16 Flashcards
What are the X, Y, and Z-axis travel dimensions of the JC16 machine?
X-axis: 64.2” (1,630 mm), Y-axis: 33.9” (860 mm), Z-axis: 30” (762 mm).
What is the maximum table load capacity of the JC16?
4,409 lbs (2,000 kg).
What type of motors and encoders are used in all axes of the JC16?
Direct Drive motors with Absolute positioning encoders.
Why are Direct Drive motors with Absolute encoders beneficial?
They provide backlash-free positioning for reliable and stable accuracy, eliminating the need for zero-return.
What type of casting is used in the JC16, and why is it advantageous?
High-quality, rugged MEEHANITE™ castings ensure high stiffness, rigidity, and vibration dampening, resulting in superior thermal stability and cutting performance.
How does the JC16 minimize thermal growth in its design?
By using fixed, pre-tensioned ballscrews in all axes.
What are the sizes of the roller guideways in the X, Y, and Z axes?
45mm in the X & Y axes (outer guideways) and 55mm in the Z-axis.
What type of guideways are used on the inner Y-axis of the JC16?
35mm NR Type Linear Ball-Type Guideways.
What is the benefit of using cylindrical roller guideways in the JC16?
They provide greater contact area and vibration-damping characteristics, resulting in improved rigidity, cutting performance, and surface finish.
What is the rapid traverse rate of the JC16 in the X and Y axes?
945 inches per minute (IPM).
Describe the spindle of the JC16.
It has a heavy-duty 10,000 rpm spindle with Dual Contact CAT50 taper, grease lubrication, and a spindle chiller.
What is the maximum spindle motor power and torque of the JC16?
30 HP (22 kW) and 261 ft-lbs (354 Nm) of torque.
What are the benefits of the Dual Contact BBT50 spindle taper?
Provides increased rigidity and stability for heavy-duty cutting applications.
How many tools does the standard Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) hold?
32 tools, with an optional upgrade to 40 tools.
What is the tool-to-tool change time for the JC16’s ATC?
4.2 seconds.
What is the chip-to-chip time for the JC16’s ATC?
9.4 seconds.
How does the JC16 ensure precision in its machine structure?
Through precision hand-scraped joints that increase structural rigidity and minimize electronic compensation.
What features contribute to the JC16’s efficient chip and coolant management?
Spindle coolant ring with adjustable lock lines, cutting air-blast, coolant wash-down gun, air gun, and a unique shower coolant system.
What is the purpose of the JC16’s shower coolant system?
To effectively flush and remove chips from the machine’s interior using up to 10 adjustable coolant flushing nozzles.
How many augers are included in the JC16, and where are they located?
Four augers; two on either side of the table in the Y-axis.
