hi guys, looking for some advice from here on which machine tool to go with.
we are replacing a fadal 4020 and looking at the two machines listed.
they both come with the same control Fanuc Oi-MD which we will upgrade to
include the AICC II 200 block look ahead. both will be equipped with the chip blaster
thru spindle coolant and chip conveyor. the difference comes to spindle horsepower
and travel. we are leaning toward the Feeler costs slightly more but heavier machine
longer travels more torque/hp and 2 year std warranty on both the control and machine tool.
what does the emastercam community have to say?
Feeler:
spindle:25 hp spindle chiller std
torque: 117.7 Nm (87ft.lbs.)
travel: 43.3 x 24 x 23.6

Hardinge:
spindle:20 hp spindle chiller opt
torque: 114.Nm (84ft.lbs.)
travel: 40.16 x 21.25 x 21.25
