Workholding Tips and Tricks?
Do these jaws still exist? I couldn't find the Solidmax website. We had an issue with two parts in a jaw and I'm looking for an affordable non-proprietary (AKA just bolt in 6" vise jaw) that has the hydraulic pistons for workholding. -

Mitsubishi MD PRO-III tilted work offset pickup off two bores in Z vertical axis?
Concept lost Methods machine tool - Nakamura Tome, and that must be in small part due to certainly their inability to sell the equipment effectively enough, but we couldn't consider them for purchase because we have no demonstrable relationship of functional service with Concept. Agreements like...- Green0

Mitsubishi MD PRO-III tilted work offset pickup off two bores in Z vertical axis?
Maybe it will get to be time to sell their machine to prevent one of their prospective customers from buying a new one then? Childish antics isn't what the builders are supposed to be engaged in, and making people join clubs to get treated like they are a customer is childish. I bought my...- Green0

Mitsubishi MD PRO-III tilted work offset pickup off two bores in Z vertical axis?
I once joined the platinum or diamond club for Mitsubishi for like $2200. I called in my first ever application question last week and got screened and left my application problem message with my number and e-mail and received no reply. Maybe I didn't rate a response. I don't have that...- Green0

Universal Robots UR3 Robot review
We bought 2 Universal Robots UR3 robots in late 2016. The Robots were sold to us with pneumatic grippers and they had one purpose in life, to unload tubes from CNC turning centers. We make ~8500 tubes a year, but in 2017 we bought a Doosan TT1800SY and it has an upper parts unloader capable of...- Green0

Does anyone other than MC Machinery service Mitsubishi MD PRO III EDM machines?
We had batteries go and couldn't get them replaced before a brown out so it was needing to be re-homed. We were able to eventually get MC Machinery to quote what we originally asked for and they came out. I think servo batteries, re-homing, and grease cost in the mid $2000 range. It would...- Green0

Does anyone other than MC Machinery service Mitsubishi MD PRO III EDM machines?
I got another contact in Michigan, we're going to send them an RFQ tomorrow to see if they can service the machine. MC machinery never replied to our e-mail when we requested they remove the platinum club and the 175 point inspection and instead quote all battery replacement, UV screw...- Green0

With Doosan, Hurco, and Mazak, phone support is also free. With Yama Seiki I don't know because I've never owned a used YSI machine. The Doosans we have 2 used, 7 new and our first was a used machine, and they were free then. Hurco our only machine is used and their phone support is free...- Green0

Does anyone other than MC Machinery service Mitsubishi MD PRO III EDM machines?
Agreed 100%. It's appears to be extortion, and it's embarrassing for a company to have that stupid of a policy. It takes a company that had some opinion they could be a solution provider, and it offends that company and forces them to reconsider that opinion. I'm actually considering having a...- Green0

Does anyone other than MC Machinery service Mitsubishi MD PRO III EDM machines?
We paid it under a manufacturing agreement with another company on our ONE machine that we had proof we paid for (we provided that proof at one point and after a lot of stressful and unnecessary advocating for ourself they once waived it for a service call. They currently forgot and it appears...- Green0

Does anyone other than MC Machinery service Mitsubishi MD PRO III EDM machines?
Thanks for the advice, I will give them a call and see what they can do. I was referred another service this morning by a former MITS EDM machinist, and that service said MC Machinery was intentionally limiting access to parts to extort customers with the club fee, so they weren't able to help...- Green0

Does anyone other than MC Machinery service Mitsubishi MD PRO III EDM machines?
I think our batteries went dead a while ago. We were hoping to find a service tech who was third party so we could get off the crazy train with MC Machinery (the headquarters for mitsubishi EDM's in the USA in Chicago). They are regionally close, but we are hoping for someone like Ellison...- Green0

Does anyone other than MC Machinery service Mitsubishi MD PRO III EDM machines?
We have a Mitusbishi EDM that we bought used. At the time we thought Fanuc made the best EDM and I still do. I knew a shop owner who bought one for 135K and I wanted to buy the same machine for the same price, but the same Fanuc dealer didn't want to give us the same price. MC machinery has...- Green0
