Fidia Machines

[Ralph@Faustson]

Does anyone here have knowledge or experience with Fidia 5 Axis machines? I'm looking for small gantry or bridge type machine with 5 axis capability. Do you know of any possibilities. The capacity need to be approx 1500 x 800 mm.

the only fidia I have had experience with was a Fidia 3+2 axis. On that particular machine we replaced the spindle about once a year. and the control was like a menopausal woman. If you made any kind of little mistake it shut down and locked up. We would then have to reboot it and do it again.

do your self a favor and stay away from fidia unless you like real sloppy machines

I've never used their machines, but the controls are cool. They seem to be available on a lot of the machines steve f mentioned. 5 axis, no problem.

I didn't see any machines that size in the Fidia garage (headquarters) in Troy, Mi last time I was there though (circa 1999), but the website listed seems to have a few.

Mold shop has a big one by us. They had some troubles at first but have had good luck since.
