Enshu EV450 : does anyone know this machine?

[rdc02271]

Hello,

I am considering buying an used 2003 Enshu EV450 with a Yasnac I80 controller milling machine.

Does anyone have any experience with this machine?

Any common problems ? Controller issues? Common backlash issues ?

Do you have any tips about problems areas I should look at while inspecting the machine ?

Thank you for your help and attention,
JC

I don't know about the 450 with yasnac but I used to work on an ev650 with fanuc . They build a really solid machine that can handle heavy nasty materials . We did a lot of heavy machining and extremely high precision parts on that mill and never had a problem in the 6 yrs I was with that company .
It's been a long time since I've worked with yasnac and that was on matsurra's but I liked that control about as much as I like fanuc , pretty straight forward and reliable
