Howdy, Been a Haas guy for a number of years and I like them. But I am looking for an entry level VMC with a 4th axis wiring for around $80K.
How are the entry level Fanucs and Siemans, Mitsubeasty and Fagor…. And also looking at the Trak LMP with their PMX control. This is for a
University Shop so I need to spend wisely and choose what will last the poor dumb taxpayer as long as possible (" Given that this is funded by earnest tax payers (and I work for essentially a non-profit) I want to get the absolute best long terms value (even if that means I have to pay a little more).(thankyou cameraman !!) ". . Accuracy and long life is most import rather than speed. 75% will be soft easy material..... The other 25% will be nasty stuff like Areomet 100 and Inconelish stuff. Yes I know I won't get the perfect mill..... but I need to make every effort to come as close as possible. Also there is no way possible to get more money for this project so Yasda's are out. As of right now, Haas VF2 with some options and their 10% off for schools looks like the winner but I want to see if you may know about something I have not known about. Thanks for any help and wisdom you can send me. -mateo
