They are basically manual turret or bed mills with CNC control added so can be used as either manual or CNC.
I don't like them because they are open and if you start doing some proper metal removal then every thing gets covered in swarf
Xyz of the past perhaps but not there new stuff, take a look at there website
Dude, the company i subcontract for have just bought 2 new machines from XYZ... I know what they are like
I was trying to say that depending on the model they are infact fully enclosed and every thing wont get covered in swarf, they are a good budget machine manufacturer and have a very large range of smaller machines, did you go to mach 2006? XYZ had about 30 machines there all shapes and sizes from a bridgeport series 1 type machine up to some quite nice fully enclosed 4 axis mills
I do have to agree, they do have a very impressive line up now. I must admit the last time i saw them at mach they only had a enclosed machine that was 500 or so in the X. I see they do one thats over a meter now
I love watching an Intergrex working, sooooo impressive!
(thats the one with the 5 axis moving table isn't it? )
