Hello there,

Does anyone know if the splash guard cabin from a Deckel FP4A manufactured in -87 can be mounted on a naked Deckel FP4NC from early 90:is ?

Hello Drake,

I do have following manual. It includes also programming with a nice programming example. It seems program is created on machine control and then you have to transfer it to the robot...

Yes. Heidenhain TNC155 has drip feed as standard (but they name it Blockwise Transfer)

TNC155 came in the mid 80:ies so it doesn´t have to become a very expensive machine

OK. Mori Seiki SH-Machines will be a suitable machinetype for aluminium machining. They were pretty much developed for this task. But of course how it works in the end depends on the condition of the...

What materials will you mainly machine ?

None. Go for a machine with Heidenhain Control (155 or newer). At least if you´r located in Europe

Very unsure if drip feed will work at all on older Brother controls

Have sent you a PM

The Swede

Agree with dhardt. That´s the way to do it

Adding older rotary tables to newer machines is often more costly than one hope :-(

If Nikken is correct, which we must assume this is the drive you need:

A06B-0223-B000 = Fanuc AlphaiF 4/4000 motor
This motor needs drive AlphaiSV 40 = A06B-6114-H104

A06B-6114-H104 is the...

Sorry. Can´t tell you how it will work with relatively modern controls like Fanuc 0iMC and 21i. This drive is from the era of Fanuc OMC (without i) and 15M controls

I earlier had a Nikken table...

Corresponding drive to Fanuc A06B-0313 motors (Fanuc 0S motors) is A06B-6058-H004. However can´t tell if this drive from beginning 90:is work well together with a control from around 2008

When I said servo I meant the servo drive. If you use a 4:th axis servo drive from same age and family as the other servo drives you can be sure communication between control and servo drive will...

Do you already have a 4:th axis servo in the electrical cabinet ?
If not. What models A06B-.... for the existing X, Y, Z servos ?. You need a servo from same family with size suitable for the motor...

You may not have G54. On Matsuura with Yasnac MX G54-G59 was option

Hurco has much better 3D performance (much more look ahead) + some other useful 3D functions. Also a much larger memory making it possible to run also very long programs directly from memory instead...

My guess is that these holes are part of the air purge system that continuously blows air to prevent contamination of spindle with dirt, small swarfs etc.

Is the machine with Ultimax control (DOS OS) or Winmax control (Windows OS) ?

I can´t either say anything with help from photos and video (would have to be at place). The answer from Hurco UK also puzzles me. Why OR ? They have records to be able to give you a firm answer what...

Distance between spindle end and center of toolholder groove differs more than 5 mm as you can see on your toolholders

How well trained are you on the machine ? Not at all ?

It´s possible to...

Is this a machine originally sold in Europe ?. If so there is one of two possible toolarms mounted on the machine

Alt. 1. Toolarm for CAT40 (with this toolarm you can also use DIN69871 tooling...

Sounds someone is ripping you off. I guess this machine is the same as Hüller-Hille nbh-230. It might be much cheaper here in Europe

Do you have the G&L partnumbers to share. Hopefully they are...

Well, with 2,40 m in roofheight you will have serious problem finding a decent VMC to put in

Since you are doing one-offs, small lots and don´t absolutely need a toolchanger I would definitely...

OK. I thought you had plenty of space, since you are looking at the Haas machine. Why look at these machines if you don´t have the space ? Or the Money ?

Exactly how much space and height do you...

Dead easy. Why not a secondhand VMC ?

You seem to have both space and budget enough. And accuracy of a wellkept secondhand machine is no lower than the new alternatives you´r looking at

By the way. Make sure to secure the counterweight inside column. There is a thread "Fadal VMC15 Blocking head and counterweight" about this

It´s both easy and safe to take it with a forklift through the forklift holes in the base. Assuming it´s been loaded on the truck as seen on enclosed photos

Not a new system any longer and not a cheap system but a damned good system. Especially for...

Not claiming to be an expert, but still think I have some useful thoughts. It may be hard to find someone having own experience of more than one or two of these brands

I did google the Trens...

If the machine is big enough I would definitely go for the Mori Seiki SL1. A real workhorse with rarely any problems. Also with Fanuc control you have the biggest chance to find spare parts if needed...

I believe Hurco not promising a high accuracy in the proposals partly has to do with being a US company (heavenly country for the lawyers). There may be harsh instructions from US never to promise...
