2008 YCM XV560A CNC Vertical Machining Center

The YCM XV560A is a compact vertical machining center known for dependable, no-nonsense performance in general machining and production shop environments. This 2008 example (serial 0111) is a 3-axis VMC with travels of 22.0 x 16.1 x 17.7 inch over a 27.6 x 16.5 inch table, powered by a 15 HP spindle turning to 10,000 RPM through a 40-taper toolholder interface. Rapid traverse of 1,417 ipm keeps cycle times tight, and a 20-station automatic tool changer handles multi-tool jobs without operator intervention. The machine runs the Fanuc-based YCM MXP-100i control, a widely supported platform that keeps programming, setup, and shop-floor integration straightforward for any shop already running Fanuc. Its compact footprint and rigid single-column design make it an easy fit as a dedicated second spindle for smaller plates, fixtures, brackets, and everyday production parts where floor space is at a premium.

Compared with YCM's earlier Supermax-generation economy vertical machining centers, the XV560A introduced a more rigid frame, a higher-performance 10,000 RPM spindle, and the modern Fanuc-based MXP-100i control in place of the older-generation CNC. For a shop replacing an aging economy vertical, that translates into faster rapids, a current and well-supported control platform, and a dependable 20-tool machine ready for daily production - a meaningful upgrade in speed and usability, not just a newer nameplate.
