My company is looking into possibly getting a 4th machine with a small footprint to pick up a lot of the work we are farming out now. I have done research and have been really impressed with the functions of the Agie Classic 2. I have found an offer of one for 40K with less then 1000 hours on it, made in 2000. Seems like a great deal, but one of the main reasons I am thinking of recommending this is because of the AgieSetup 2D/3D pickup system, and from what I have researched very low maintenence on these machines. Just curious if anyone out there had the probe system that they use for part pickup and if it works well and is as useful as it seems to be in the brochure. Any comments, positive or negative about this machine would be helpful. Is it pretty easy to pick up the control system and program. I have run pretty much everything Makino, Fanuc, Charmilles, Mits, Sodick, ELOX. Just curious if the Agie is worth it as I have never run one.
