Hello All,
We are looking for a rigid and accurate 3 axis machine to do prototyping work on materials ranging from brass to titanium and anything in between. Would like to hear from you guys on opinions on the following machines in relation to the criterias listed below.
Our criterias are
- rigidity (Bridge type design)
- ease of interface
- machine accuracy (Position, repeat, cutting accuracy etc.)
- longevity of machine accuracy
- spindle quality (HSK-A63 spindle, we are buying a 5 axis later in the year and that is a HSK spindle, dont want multiple types of tooling)
- Axis movements about 800-1000mm by 400-500mm and 450mm Z
- Other stuff, like probes, chip management etc. seem to be mostly equal in selected machines.
All the brands have almost equal service quality in our area. We have looked at many machines but, mostly interested in the following:
- OKUMA MB-56 VA (Genos doesnt have HSK)
- MAKINO F5
- MAZAK FJV-250
Open to suggestions and thanks.
Regards.
