Hello everybody. First, post so forgive me if I make any mistakes.
I'm helping my company find a large double-column CNC. We are looking for two machines. One with X:6m|236" Y:3m|118" and Z:1m|40" and another with Y:3m|118" X: 1.5m|58" Z:.8m|31" travels
We are a job shop so our work varies a lot but it's almost always stainless steel, A36 plates, carbon steel.
So far I've contacted Okuma, Mazak, and Doosan. I've also contacted some brands from Taiwan such as Kao ming, Toyoda, and Vision Wide.
Okuma and Mazak are too expensive. I haven't quoted the double-column mill yet but I can see where it's going from other quotes I received from them.
Doosan seems like a great option, I'm heavily considering them, but I'm still waiting on the quote.
What are your guy's opinions on the Taiwanese brands? I know I won't receive the type same support as I would from a major brand like the others I mentioned.
For my type of work, what's better? a double-column mill or a moving gantry mill? So far I've only been able to find a moving gantry mill from Toyoda.
Are box ways worth it for doing heavy cuts with steel?
Thank you in advance
