Used Amada Press Brake Controller

[MValentine]

Our company has been looking to replace an old Pacific mechanical press brake and specifically have been looking at late 90s-early 2000s Amadas. We've found some decent looking machines, but my boss has some concerns after talking with the technician that has been working on the Pacific. The technician claims that most all press brake manufacturers obsolete the parts that go into the controllers for these older machines. Does anyone have any knowledge on this? We don't want to have to spend the same amount of money on upgrading the controller as we do on purchasing the machine, so if that is the case we will probably look into some newer used machines.

Thank you,

MV

Alternative parts Inc had been the main supplier for the Amada aftermarket.
I have a 1986 RG-50S. It runs perfectly. Make sure you get the NC9-EX II or newer. If you message me I can explain a lot of info. What to look for.
