i havent been following this thread, buy we have 4 milltronics vmcs. the two i am concerned about are the ones from '96 and '97, now with the exception of the '97 all of these machines have been the right choice for our shop (small; 6 guys). the vm30 that we purchased new in '97 has been a lemon. Anyways i am torn do i try to fix this machine, that has too much slop in two ballscrews, or think about purchasing a new machine. if the new machine is the better option. the vm30 and the older vm 24 just dont have the rigidity or the kahones to even push the tools i have to their potential. Any suggestions?
Oh yeah i really like the conv. prog. available on these machines. it helps eliminate operator error, and is really easy for the guys i train to pick up.
