New machine day! she's a biggun...

[chineshop_guy]

well no wander you don't like Haas. with that kind of money. LOL

Interesting that they have a fixed screw and rotating nut on that axis. It’s big and not sure how long, but gut feel says not a whip problem. Kinda coarse pitch. Scales on that axis?

1.5m x axis. yeah it has scales.

 

[empower]

What's the price tag on that?

~500k

 

[empower]

What type of work are you putting on this machine? Did you get the horizontal A-axis, or just the built-in C-axis?

built in C axis. i do R&D so we wanted the flexibility

 

[empower]

she's in place! wont be up and running until around march 3rd though

Like DavidScott, I’m intrigued by the design details. Never worked on Ibarmia but have a tiny bit of experience with a couple other Spanish machines, Anayak and Correa. Those used to be separate companies but merged some years ago. Good iron. Things like sensors, solenoids, switches, relays were from suppliers not common in the US so some “creative” sourcing and retrofitting was needed.

I’m guessing the design is modular so X can be stretched to much longer travels. Otherwise there would be no reason for the fixed screw design at only 1.5 meters of travel with a large diameter screw like that.

That's a good price!

this is the smallest machine they offer, they go huge on some of their stuff. most electrical components are heidenhain/siemens so its all high quality stuff. the iron looks pretty good to me. the ability to do large 3 axis parts as well as pretty big 5 axis stuff is the biggest driver for me to go this route.

>>X axis ball screw<<

Ehh, ball screws are for wussies

but seriously, congrats. looks like fun

i have a feeling linear motors for a beast this big would make this a >1m machine, lol
thanks!

we'll expect a review with video?

Wonder if larger machines is a focus of Spanish builders. The Anayak was 4 or 5 meters travel and the Correa was 4.

i'm AWFUL on camera, so deff wont be that. but for sure i'll give my input on it after i put in some seat time.

 

[empower]

not sure if big machine or smol dude

any guesses on what it is?

Cool

I thought you were in Ontario SoCal, evidently you've moved

I did, in December. Currently in Novi, mi fuck Cali

Congrats Eugene. Best of success!

Congrats. I like the round windows.

Thanks Frank! I'm sure I'll have a brother at some point in the future!
