Is there anyone using Makino a81? I want to know its actual performance .My company has bought 8 sets since last year but performance is not very as good as our expectations.

Any tip will be appreciated.

Thanks

From my understanding that model is not the best. I can not tell you of the specific problems they are having. But I know of a company that has 4 or 5 of them. They are constantly down for all sorts of reasons both fanuc and control related problems. A lot of unknown bugs that are hard to troubleshoot as well. I know it doesn't help you now but the newer model?? Can't remember what model but it is much more reliable.

What kinds of problems are you having?

yes we do run sets of 2 with the trolly feed system and I have been to the school in ohio we replaced 2 sets of older mazaks.
I love the new units they are fast and run all day long with no problems, we run 3 shifts here vat toro.
