2005 YCM TC-26 CNC Turning Center

The YCM TC-26 is a rigid, box-way CNC turning center from Yeong Chin Machinery, built for the dependable general-purpose turning that keeps job shops and production floors moving. This 2005 example turns up to 17.7" in diameter and 25.59" long, with 27.55" between centers and a 19.68" swing over the bed. Power comes from a 20 HP spindle spinning to 4,000 RPM through an A2-8 nose with a 3.46" bore and 3.07" bar capacity, gripping work in a 10" 3-jaw hydraulic chuck, while a 12-station turret keeps tooling ready for multi-op parts on one rigid platform.

Compared with the smaller YCM TC-16 and earlier compact turning centers in the TC line, the TC-26 steps up swing, bar capacity, and between-centers length so a shop can take on larger shafts and longer parts without adding a second machine. The bigger 10" chuck and 3.46" bore accept stock the TC-16 cannot pass, and the added turning length opens up work the smaller machines simply cannot hold. For a buyer who has outgrown a compact chucker, the TC-26 is the practical capacity upgrade that keeps setups simple and parts flowing.
