Also check into the Fanuc Oi series.
I had been running Agies for 10+ years before running the Fanuc. The Fanuc is really nice for the money. Plus, if you like to write/change code at the machine, you can't get any easier. It also handles variables!
The one advantage that I liked about the Agie was that the flushing on heavy taper cuts seemed to be better as well as switching wire size. The Fanuc doesn't tip the flushing toward the cut as an Agie does. The Fanuc also uses guides specific to the size of wire you're running. So, if you plan to vary wire or cut larger taper often, I would look at Agie. Otherwise, the Fanuc is a nice machine.
IMO, I would stay away fom Mitsubishi. Poor service and $$$ parts.
Hope this helps. |
