I am considering replacing my Haas VM3 with a Makino PS95. My other mill is a Makino A51-nx horizontal with the Pro5 control and I would like to make everything in the shop Makino (no swapping pull studs, higher productivity, etc...) I absolutely love the Pro5 control and they way it handles tools and tool offsets (and everything else) and I am curious how the PS95's ProP control compares. It is hard to get a straight answer out of Makino so I would like some input from shops that actually have both and can make a direct comparison. What are the shortcomings of the ProP vs the Pro5? The ProP is Makino's front end for the Fanuc 0M I believe.
My goal for the PS95 would be large aluminum mold work and taking some of the production overflow from the A51 when it is buried (currently 2 months out...). The Haas is such a step back in part quality, speed, and accuracy that I will not even go there. Any other thoughts on the PS95 regarding rigidity, speed, reliability, user-friendliness, etc... Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
