I have a chance to get a Kitamura mycenter 4 with YAsnac I-80m control. It seems to be in excellent condition and has been serviced regularly. It is a 1998 model and has 4th and 5th axis, tool setting probe, spindle probe, spindle chiller, chip conveyor and 30 tool changer. The machine was holding under .0005" tolerances on the last inspection report about a year ago.
I can get it very cheap. All the ways look great and everything seems to work.
I think this would be a upgrade to my Milltronics VM17 with Centurion 6 control which has served me well so far. Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions.
I have no idea if I would even use the 5th axis but the 4th could come in handy. I think I would just use it as a 4th axis with tailstock on some projects.
I also have no idea on the probing. I have never used it or seen it used. I wouldn't even know what to use it for.
I mainly program using inventor with HSM for programming. I only do very simple programs on the mill. I like the Milltronics conversational programming for simple parts and processes though. I don't think Yasnac has anything like that.
