Machine tool control
Machine tool control
(OP)
We have a very large gantry 5-axis friction stir machine (operates just like a CNC mill except much higher loads)
Right now the controller is running robot code off one computer that talks to a control computer in a complex and unreliable system.
We want to have a G-Code controller much like CNC mills (I'm a fan of the HAAS control personally)
Can anyone suggest companies that can come to a site and set up a new control? I saw Makino looks to have this service?
Thanks,
Alex

RE: Machine tool control
Rather than replacing the entire control, it might be considerably cheaper and quicker to find your local independent CNC service guy, and pay him to spend a day figuring out why your system is doing or not doing the things that make you characterize it as unreliable.
