Good machines, altho somewhat weird here and there. Had a "floating" z axis at times, some had hydraulic toolchangers (good), others air powered tool changers (not too good)
They all had Heindehain scales for feedback(a good thing) Shop I worked at had 3 of them, with the pallet changer system, and only 1 of them used the strange tool holders. I would think maybe worth retro fitting, but it would be a big job! |
