Guys,

 

If you were putting 3 DMU-50 Ecoline (3+2) on the shop floor, would you go with Siemens 840D or Heidenhein TNC 620?

This is the first foray into 5 axis, the work is primarily 80% Aluminium 20% Stainless, and they will be production machines. Existing machines use Heidenhain or FANUC, and there is no fear about learning a new control.

 

thoughts?

Heidenhain, powerful, and you already know it.

Back up a little bit and DO NOT BUY A DMG ECO machine, PM me and I will give you a story.

 

ECO=POS

I agree with Hockey Guy.....

 

We had a DMU-50 with the Siemens 840D...... What a POS......

 

Good thing Superstorm Sandy took care of it for us....

If you're gramming offline 100%, it really doesn't matter with the control.

If you are doing some gramming at the machine, Heidenhain is the most powerful control of the lot from my understanding.
