IMO, PC based control retrofit is the way to go now that you've spent all you should on your fadal control...
We're going to have side by side comparision going on here onsite between fadal's new augusta 104d control on a brand new AC servo CNC,
and a Rubicon / Numeryx PC based control retrofitted to an 8 year old fadal (with old DC servos).
The new fadal rapid = 900
The old fadal rapid = 700
Anyone want to wager which one will have faster cycle times, be far more accurate, break down less, be easier on wear items (ball screws, ways)?
Be sure to vote in the Fadal poll!!!
