Hello! I ask for your advice in choosing a lathe. English is not my native language, so sorry for any inaccuracies.
The task is to roughly cut a workpiece weighing 33 kg, diameter 280 mm. It is necessary to remove about 9 kg chips from each part. Material - steel after hot stamping, stamping is not very good quality.
The number of parts is 800 per month.
I have roughing and finishing machines, but it is time to upgrade my roughing machines to something fresher and the old ones will remain in reserve.
So what I'm looking for:
One machine with two spindles and two turrets or two machines separately.
Machine production year 2000-2004
CNC system - Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain
Machine manufacturer - Europe, Korea, Japan or Taiwan
Budget - 20.000-30.000 $
I need stability of work, availability of spare parts.
From what I found, I liked Monforts. On the Internet they say that they are tough, they had a DNC5 model - two spindles of 21 kW each, the weight of the machine is about 13 tons, but this is a small company and there are few spare parts on the market.
What advice could you give from your experience?
Thanks for your attention
