As per video below. Every moving quill KE I've seen has Japanese characters only, so curious if any country imported a moving quill KE with English control ? Why were they limited to Japan and Singapore ?
Fascinating that it looks pristine and yet there is some noise as X and Y axis move about. My KE-55 is absolute silence at those speeds...wonder if the heavier head makes a difference in that regard ? Also interesting is there seems to be no Fanuc G code side to the control...seems to be "J" conversational only.
It appears the one disadvantage of the moving quill version is lack of pushbutton pneumatic drawbar (to hold CAT and BT40 pull stud tooling) Which is curious since it is possible to have both moving quill and pull stud drawbar...Maho and Deckel managed it.
