Hey folks,
I just got a quote to add probes to some 2002 VF3 mills at work. $23,000... per mill, not the lot of them.
Am I crazy in thinking that's crazy? I thought Haas mills were all close to "universal" which made making upgrades easier than other brands? I won't get into what I'd do if they were my mills because they're not, but bluntly I can't even bark at the idea with that price tag. Management would laugh.
What I do own is a 2004 robodrill which I am planning on adding a probe to. I'm hoping the software is already in the control, but I haven't even gotten to power it on just yet, so we'll see. Haven't gotten a quote back on it either.
