Recently we have come to the conclusion that we need to replace our 5 axis machine with another due to repeated downtime.
I was wondering if seasoned 5 axis machine shop guys could give some feedback on what they ahve seen or heard from a trusted source regarding the performance of the machines that we are considering.
Requirements -
Continuous 5 Axis,
800mm upto 1100mm table.
1000 kg workpiece weight capacity,
HSK 63 or 100 spindle- 18,000 to 24,000 rpm
positional accuracy under 8 microns (3/10 of a thou)
20 bar or 40 bar spindle through coolant
cooled machine components - spindle, ways, ballscrew
Materials cut - aluminum, cast iron, Stainless, 17-4PH.
Contenders:
Doosan DVF8000
DMG DMU95 monoblock
Hermle C42
Okuma MU8000V
Grob G550 (maybe out of budget?)
Hwacheon M3 adn M4-5AX
If there is anyone with personal experience with these machines, do let me know which you think we should go for. We do high accuracy jobs with high productivity and reliability, performance, repeatability all in the long term are important (in that order). We dont want to overspend either
Feedback is much appreciated. If you feel I should look at some other machine, do suggest.
Thank you.
