the Modig 7200 made the move from Boeing to the killing field of machine tools in Olympia
it rests upon the spot occupied by the Makino A55--
but a more noble fate awaits the Modig than the long knives the Makino submitted to
the plan:
all sheet metal is stripped off
Fanuc red cap servos are removed
machine spindle and housing are pulled
tool changer goes
lube units remain --if possible function consolidated
chuck jaw motion on rotary tables is hydraulic--much smaller hydraulic
pump/motor assembly or pneumatic function are likely---fast cycle time is
not needed--reducing killo-wattage is
step motors or brush servo motors go where red caps were
Hypertherm plasma torch to be placed on Z column
chuck jaws to be modified for tube
