lol, I was thinking the same about Mazatrol. Never actually set a machine up with it, but have been around a few. They are the black sheep.
I agree with Fanuc, or standard G/M code being the norm out there. I started programming a Fanuc 6T in 1989 with a tape reader
. Wow have things changed.
I own two Haas machines now, love the controls but the machines are so-so performance wise. They are a great bang-for-the-buck though, hard to beat there. American made too. According to our Haas rep, they are having record sales.
Tim, I didn't know you were in the machine tool industry...small world. I was in applications for 4 years doing time studies, fixture and tooling design, machine setup and training.
