Looking to purchase Puma 600/700 with live tooling.
Does anyone have experience of the live tooling on these machines or any other lathes with relation to accuracy.
We would be creating PCDs of holes up to 800mm diameter with 0.002 true position.
My concern is that when we are carrying out heavy turning work and come up against the occasional machine crash the turret will lose its accuracy.
Also, does anyone use the live tooling for anything more complex than holes.
Creating slots, flats etc.
Just interested to here your opinions.
