We are a scientific instrument manufacturer located in Northern California (approx. 20mi. North of San Francisco) just off highway 101 with easy access for transport/rigging. We machine mostly aluminum (6061,2024,Mic-6) with occasional parts fabricated from brass or stainless. In recent years, we have found it necessary to invest in newer, faster machining centers (Brothers) to help maintain a competitive advantage. The end result is that several of our Fadals are now surplus to our operations.
We are offering four Fadals; two immediately and two to be available in next two-three months. All our machines have rigid tapping, 10K spindles, carousel tool changer, set of service/operation manuals. These machines were operated 5 days a week/8 hrs a day. Always warmed up with 15-20 min warmup program (1000 rpm increments to 10K/ full travel in X,Y, and Z). Complete specs are available via phone or email at the contacts listed below.
The two machines available immediately are:
Fadal 3016 w/Mistaway mist collector installed. Serial # 9610456. Year - 1996. In 2017 the X motor and X axis resolver were replaced and a new drawbar piston installed. Asking $12,500.00.
Fadal 3016 w/Mistaway mist collector installed. Serial #032001052435. Year - 2001. In 2017 replaced spindle motor encoder. 2018 - complete PM service. Asking $15,000.00.
Two that will be available in near future:
Fadal 3016. Serial #9809802. Year - 1998. In 2016 replaced spindle motor fan. In 2017 replaced Y axis amplifier. Asking $11,000.00.
Fadal 4020HT (high torque model). Includes complete TR65 4/5 axis attachment mounted to table. Serial #012006129410. Year 2007. In 2017 replaced B axis scale. Front coolant discharge with chip conveyor. Asking $27,500.00.
(The latter two machines may be available in near term given recent installation of another new Brother w/5th axis - please contact us for latest info).
Few other notes about these machines:
These machines were not abused….most look very clean from outside. Paint is gone from inside bottoms/some from side walls. They have been serviced by CMS/Complete Machine Solutions (Eya and crew for those familiar) for their entire lifetime. All are currently under power and can be demonstrated. We can also provide photos and some video for interested parties. The Mistaway mist collectors have been installed in last two-three years.
For the most up to date info, please contact Don or Chris in production shop at 415-883-0128 or via email at [email protected] or [email protected] respectively. Inspections, rigging, transport and the like are responsibility of buyer. We can provide info on reputable local riggers/transport if desired.
