Yasda Precision

What Yasda Precision does

Yasda Precision America Corporation is a Schaumburg, Illinois-based subsidiary (founded 1997) of Japanese precision machine tool builder Yasda Precision Tools K.K. (founded 1929 in Osaka). The U.S. entity provides specialty sales support, technical assistance, and after-service for Yasda's precision CNC machining centers across the USA, Canada, and Mexico, while operating exclusively through channel partners — Methods Machine Tools as the exclusive U.S. distributor, with Maruka USA covering Minnesota since December 2021.

Yasda manufactures ultra-high-precision CNC jig borers, vertical and horizontal 4-/5-axis precision machining centers, and micro machining centers (product families include YMC430/YMC650 Micro Centers, PX30i and H40i precision centers, and the YBM series). Differentiating technical features include in-house designed and built spindles with a proprietary preload self-adjusting system, hand scraping of all critical mating surfaces by skilled artisans, thermal distortion stabilization via circulated temperature-controlled oil through castings, curvic-coupling pallet systems with sub-micron change repeatability, and through-hardened box ways. The YBM950V has demonstrated ±2μm dimensional and pitch accuracy in hard milling, and a 22-year-old YBM60N still holds ±2μm positioning accuracy, evidencing extreme machine longevity.

The company serves die and mold, micro mold, mold base, aerospace, job shop, and precision parts manufacturers. The U.S. entity functions as a small (1-10 employee) sales/support liaison; the parent operates additional offices in Okayama (HQ), Shanghai, and Düsseldorf. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of precision machining centers and aftermarket services (PM, repairs, spindle/ball screw exchange, retrofits, training). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is custom-quoted.

Core offering

Yasda Precision designs, manufactures, and supplies ultra-high precision CNC machining centers, jig borers, micro machining centers, and 5-axis precision machining centers for die & mold, micro mold, mold base, aerospace, job shop, and precision parts applications. The machines deliver sub-micron to nano positioning accuracy through in-house designed spindles, hand-scraped components, and thermal management systems, and are sold with comprehensive aftermarket service and maintenance.

Product overview

Yasda Precision is a Japanese manufacturer of precision CNC machine tools offering a comprehensive portfolio of machining centers. The product lineup includes CNC Jig Borers (YBM Vi40, YBM1218V, YBM9150V), Precision Centers (PX30i, H40i, YBM 7Ti), 5-Axis Machining Centers (vertical and horizontal configurations), and Micro Machining Centers (YMC650, YMC430). These products are organized by axis configuration (3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis) and application focus (Die & Mold, Micro Mold, Mold Base, Aerospace, Job Shop, Precision Parts). Key differentiators include in-house designed spindles with preload self-adjusting systems, hand scraping of critical mating faces, thermal distortion stabilizing systems, and ultra-high accuracy tilting rotary tables (RT tables). Yasda's horizontal YBM series (7T, 8T, 10T, 15T) are widely used by other Japanese machine tool builders for their own precision manufacturing, earning recognition as 'mother machines' in the industry.
