This statement is somewhat true.
Yes Fagor doesn't directly manufacture or support the PLC because it generally will be different for every application.
However Fagors "bolt-on" mill kit will have good support because it is mass produced and they are all the same.
On the other hand, when I have had Fagor tech out here (or on the phone) they have ALWAYS been able to help me sort-out/tweak my PLC settings and the PLC settings are directly available from the Fagor controller. Plain and simple because tech really knows their stuff and how it needs to integrate.
BTW- the few bucks saved by going to the 8035 is not worth it, the 8055 is vastly superior (especially for importing DXFs). For most jobs it is quicker to conversational program than it is to import a DXF anyway.
