YCM Technology Offers Extended Warranty for Machining Centers
The CF/CX Series C-frame machines and RF/RX ram-type machines now include a three-year warranty.
YCM Technology USA Inc. has introduced a three-year warranty, effective immediately, on four of its most popular vertical machining centers. The CF/CX Series C-frame machines offer either 3+2 or five-axis, high-performance machining of parts up to 400 mm in diameter. The RF/RX ram-type machines are also available in 3+2 or five-axis, high-spec configurations for part sizes up to 650 mm in diameter.
“YCM machining centers have a reputation for performance and reliability, but we want our customers to have the added peace of mind that if something unexpected does happen they are covered,” says Tony Pekalski, president of YCM Technology USA Inc.
The CF/CX and RF/RX Series of vertical machining centers share many of the same innovations and performance features, including rigid designs and thermal stability, a result of Meehanite castings made in YCM’s own foundry, followed by hand scraping of all mating surfaces. The 12,000-rpm (or optional 15,000-rpm) spindle is designed and built in-house by YCM, and all axial movements are controlled by linear guideways, pre-tensioned ball screws and direct drive motors for high torque and accurate positioning.
