We will be purchasing another vertical mill in the next couple of weeks. Currently have all Haas's for milling. Over the last few years, we have been replacing our haas lathes with Mazak. Looking to make a switch in the milling department as the need comes up.
95% tool steel. Mostly dynamic milling with MasterCam. Very large vise aluminum job coming in the next week or two. Need to do simple things at the control such as making fixtures, without a MC program. (short staffed) We want to switch to a conversational control, as I am done teaching basic G code.
So, having never touched a mazak mill, I have heard the milling is not as stupid easy as the turning. Doosan uses EZ Guide, if that is correct,. Dmg Mori uses Capps.
All 3 of these machines, as far as iron goes, is perfectly fine. Service for all three comes from an hour away.
Any help on which of these machines conversational programming would be best suited for daily simple ops. Facing, simple shapes, drill/tap. circular interp.
Thanks in advance,
