Hi there,
I realize this is my first post but I have been a member of this board for a while and it has been a great resource. In our workshop we are currently trying to purchase a new machine. We have come to the two as below.
- The Fanuc is spec'd as follows: 10k spindle, 31i control with high speed package (AI-nano, 1000 block look ahead, jerk control, data server etc...) 21 tool atc, 1.5g acceleration.
- The DMG is : 10k spindle, Seimens 840D SL control, Mdynamics high speed mould controller package, 25 tool ATC, 1.6g acceleration.
We are going to machining lots of small detailed parts so the feed speed is important. On paper the DMG is the better machine, it appears to have a much more powerful spindle motor and it is a heavier machine, wider rails, slightly bigger stroke on all 3 axis and is supposed to be what DMG/Mori came up with to take some of the drilltap market away from the Fanucs/Brothers. However, DMG only has one local technician, and although I'm sure their service will be good, the local supplier of the Fanuc is extremely good on the after sales side of things.
Pricing is very close on both machines.
Any thoughts or feedback on the machines?
Thanks
