Redon GTR vs CORiTEC 350i X PRO vs ARUM 5x200/5x500

Hi

Looking for a metal milling machine and these have caught my eyes. What is a good option?

What software are you using with it?

Versamill, and the one you will want will depend on your production. If you want to do one at a time, high quality and perfect every time, then 5x200, if you want to do them overnight and want to check them in the morning then 500.

What exactly needs to be checked with 500 and what causes this difference between the two machines? Auto calibration sounds good on 500... I would get the 500 without the changer anyway.

everything coming from a mill, be it a bar, bridge, bitesplint, everything needs to be checked afterward. you do this irrespective of what mill you use.

the only real functional difference is twofold
1. the size of the C opening
2. the optional changer

given you opt for a machine without changer then functionally, wont be a difference, however why you should get a versamill instead of an imill is because we at Axsys have engineered new probe calibration for both machines because we found the ones coming direct from Arum to be less than entirely reliable; also while there are built in manual calibrations coming from Arum we also have better manual calibration methods.

coupled with better spindle drives and general upgrades to fixturing via 3rd party manufactured fixtures that dont come from arum, versamill 200 and 500 are true workhorses where the originals feel anemic.

the only thing i dont like about the 500 is the pneumatic fixture clamp that grips the fixture to the trunnion. i'd have the 200 which does not use this pneumatic device.

Who is selling Versamill and offering support in Europe?

 

[brayks]

Unfortunatley Versamill's are not available in Europe at this time.

What is the opinion on the AX 726 DW milling machine compared to x200?

 

[brayks]

These are both very nice machines. Both are manual load.
Can't go wrong with either machine.
Versamill ax726DW (sold through our distributor in Croatia) gets you Axsys Advantage service back-up in Europe and high-performance, HD templates.

Differences are (but not limited to):

	Versamill ax200/Arum 5X-200	ax726DW
Frame/base	cast alum alloy/steel	Granite/Steel
Servo Encoders	Incremental	Absolute
Ballscrew Dia	15mm	20mm
Weight	405kg	220kg
Spindle Power Max:	Sycotec DC 3kW	Jager AC 2.7kW
S1:	1.3kW	1.6kW
Spindle Torque Max:	65Ncm	59Ncm
S1:	40Ncm	36Ncm
Spindle Cooling:	Air	Liquid
Available Europe	Versamill NO/Arum YES	Versamill: YES
USA base-price USD	Versamill: $94,500/Arum:?	Versamill: $74,500
Europe Price: Euro	Versamill: NA/Arum: ?	Versamill: $77,500/€71,575

I hope this helps...

Arum is available all over the world, there are resellers everywhere.

Versamill is not.
