| Fadal VMC 3020 AdviceFirst post here on your great forum.I run a small shop, and now I am thinking about getting a machiningcenter. I have found a used machine that I find interesting, but I have no experience with it. Anny of you want to say some words about it? It is a 2001 Fadal MVC 3020, with Fadal CNC 32 MP control. It has runned 1000 hours. |
|  VERY GOOD MACHINE. WE HAVE 4 VMC 3020S IN OUR SHOP. VERY USER FRIENDLY. YOU WILL FIND THE 32MP CONTROL IS OVER KILL IF PROGRAM WITH ANY KIND OF OFF LINE PROGRAMMING SYSTEM. I HAVE NOT USED THE PROGRAMING SIDE OF MY VMC 6040 WITH 32MP CONTROLER FOR FOUR YEARS NOW. YOU SHOULD NOT GET HURT WITH LOW AMOUNT OF HOURS ON THIS MACHINE. |
| Just remember, the work offsets are E1 thru E99 (mabe more). The machine is capable of doing some very nice work! How ever, I used to run a 4020 that had all the options. When ever I wanted to inperpelate a corner radius at a high feed rate, (.045 rad about 60 ipm) it would not make a nice true radius. I had to slow the feed with what i think was a g8 code.? I used the thru spindle coolant with a mitsubishi carbide thru cool drill 1/4 dia, 7" long. I drilled at 2000 rpm and fed at 14 ipm, 6.5" dp ONE PECK IN 316 SS! (not 316L) I think you made a wise decision on getting a fadal. If you have the manuals, they are very useful. If you dont, call Flint Machine Tools in georga. Im sure Barry will be willing to help you. I just bought a new 4020. |
| I started looking for a new machining center today. I would like a Fadal4525 or Haas 4026. I'm afraid the haas is too light duty for steels. Any comments |
| When running above 50 ipm, you need to use a g8 and a m97 (feed forward), I believe when contouring for the reversals. |
| If you are still looking for Fadal VMC's let me know. I have a few 4020s for sale. I can also get you other Fadal machines if you need them. Send me an email at iess525 (AT) gmail (DOT) com. |
