Hey PMers, good morning. I thought I would reach out to you and see if there is something you know about that I should look into. We are in the market for a new 5 axis for mold making.
Curently we have a mori/DMG HSC 750 Linear, a Mikron HPM 1350U and a Fidia K165. The DMG and Mikron are less than 5 years old, but the Fidia is aging and is going to need some costly maintnence comming up so we will be replacing it.
We are looking into a trunion style machine with a large work space capacity. Currently on the table are the Hermle C52 and DMG.
The problem with the Hermle is it comes with an 18k spindle standard and the 24k spindle is much more money because it would be a custom build.
The way the DMG is laid out it will be a pain in the ass to load and set up.
We want to stick with HSK 63 tooling and would prefer heidenhain control.
Is there any other brands I should be looking into....
I have quickly but not thoroughly investigated Matsuurra, Okk, Yasda, Makino, Okuma, Grob but not many make a machine in this size range.
