DMG Mori vrs. Mazak

[mayday]

We already have Integrex I machines with the Matrix 2 controls. but we are getting readyto buy 6 to 9 more machines. We have looked at both Integrex with the new Smooth X control and the new DMG Mori CTX Beta 800 TC with the Siemens 840 D.

do any of you have any experience with either of these machines?

[GoetzInd]

No experience with those. But, just looked at the Okuma Multus U a few weeks ago and thought it was really nice machine.

We've been checking out the Multus U too. A Multus U3000-1500 2SW (twin spindle, twin turret) In fact, we are about ready to place the order (along with software to drive it ).

What software will you be using to drive the Multus Mike?

I won't name it here, for fear of this thread being moved to the barren wasteland that is Off-Topic

Sticky,

Inspector Newbeeee reckons if you look at Mikes siggy, you'll have the answer.

Oh I know, my guess is the first line

We have a J-300 and getting a I-200. I looked at Mori and Okuma. I think Okuma has a solid machine and I really like Mori for the ball-screw chillers. Mazak service needs major improvements.

I had a tread on this back in September.

Check out Mori Vrs. Mazak in the Industrial forum. There is some good stuff there.

I don't have experience with the machine your asking about but I have experience with Mazak and Siemens 840D. I can tell you 2 things, Mazatrol will be more user friendly and 840D is far superior in capability and programming.

 

840D, user definable variables = awesome subprograms (or as the Fanuc world calls them, macros).

 

840D is machine tool specific and I've never seen Mori's tool management. As far as gripes that's what bugs me. Mazak, you snap a tool in the pocket, define it in the tool file, put the data in and it's ready to touch off. 840D with Grob and Heller have a list of additional steps. And if your tools have data tags... oh sh!t.
