A more arrogant self promoting irrational narrow minded critic! Camminc you are hopeless!
Question for Numatix users:
Anyone ask if they have the upgrade tested from version 4.2 to version 6.11?
NCPLUS 2000
Afterall these updates were done by the creator (Numeryx) of their...
Lack of consistancy of any of the Fadal controls is why a retrofit makes sense. Poor performance is another word for inconsistancy. Life in the machining buisness is so much better with the right...
Carbide,
We did a control swap thru DOC, an east coast retrofitter that was trying to get a nationwide service network going. They unfortunately did not get as much interest from the declining...
Just putting a Fanuc system from one machine that has been tuned by the machine builder on another machine would not work well either, maybe not at all... Same thing on a PC based CNC. Having a...
Besides Fadal going out of buisness, or is this the turning point for you?
5th Axis,
In my experience with the Numeryx and Numatix I too saw this issue on our CNC. Long story short Gil who is the creator fixed this issue with a little help from us. We supplyied him the...
Wow!
You guys said it better than I have been trying to say it for years!
Like me you may get the occational "go pound sand" comment...
On-line training...
This is excellent training, skill assessments, certification used by many companies:

This transition is not easy without training!
But once you...
It's about time, I say. What about you?
Survival of the fittest...
AKA, only the fittest survive
Goodbye and good riddens
Well, there may be enough time for you fadal cnc owners to get out of a bad situation, but I doubt it... If you cannot see that the brand is not going to last, then nothing I or anyone else says to...
Does the guy who does not have a Haas or has never run one, have an opinion that matters? I don't think so... The negative opinions of Haas are often from the Fadal owner or user. I'm just sayin,...
Carbcrafter,
Have you run a Haas? Or been with a company who has them?
Rum64,
When you view the ptp file (UG cnc program extention) in Vericut, and you do not see these gouges. Can you also include a .stl file compare to make sure you're posted file is accurate? On...
You're right Neal about my Fadal dissapointment. I am so thankful that I am not responsible for any of them anymore. That has been the reason for my frustration afterall. I was the guy responsible...
Well, I suppose there is no where to go, but "up" for Fadal. As far as I am concerned, its about time.
I have heard that NX5 is not so great...
NX6 is better, so be assured you won't regreat this upgrade. A lot of us share your frustration at climbing the learning curve again. Be patient you will...
I am lovin NX6.
As different as the pull down menus are, I am getting used to them. I figure that the developers have done their research and implemented the best lay out. I can imagine those...
It is true, cost is no longer a barrier to getting UG. Even for the small enterprize. My last job with a high end 5 axis machining company, they were doing fan blades on a Hermle cnc. Their...
Dear Mr Hotkey,

Your experience with UG is ancient in the digital age we live in... V18 was back in 2003!
MC was...
Siemens training:
I have been thru the Introdutory and Intermediate Modeling courses at UGS in Cypress (LA) and I give the class room instruction and instuuctors an A and the networking...
I would not rely on what you might read here...
It is too important an investment!
I amazes me that some of the guys I respect here, do not speak up when missinformation is fly'n. Another reason...
poor bastard...
hsmike,
I agree that the AI nano is significantly smoother than without it.
Worth the extra cost for the option for sure. In fact, I don't think a CNC without this kind of look ahead is capable...
I am thoughly enjoying this discussion...
This is really crucial for the Fanuc and apparantly the Mazak guys to fully understand. And for those poor souls who still have Fadal controls well, they...
In my opinion this option of replacing the control on a CNC machine should only be done by qualified companies that can service that installation when needed, as I am sure everyone would aggree.
...
To all Fadal owners,
30k may sound like a lot.
But sit down and figure out what your machine time is worth or your hourly shop rate.
If you can figure out what your cost or burden rate is per...
Carb,
I moved to Colorado last summer of 2006. Before that, I was promoting as many Fadal customers as I could locally and here on the zone to consider the retrofit option.
