Well dk, this is part of my tasks starting on monday... I do indeed already have some experience as mentioned on this list and elsewhere and I have in fact not decided yet what to think. You and other interested parties are welcome to follow the development on the Swedish front. There is certain interest in the country citing recent articles in the business press but I believe the entire task of rerofitting a CNC machine need a fair amount of competence in machining, mechanics, computers and electronics, mentioning a few needed disciplines...
Anyway, our machines seem to need some service today and also recently according to my boss who threw up at about € 20000 for external service last year if I understood him correctly. He have a lot of vintage machines from the eighties and nineties 4 Storebro lathes, two INDEX lathes and one Leadwell T7. The modern machines are both milling machines 3-5 years old, a FIRST MCV 850/1100 and a DUGARD 740 >From my part I have given attention to a Storebro260 lathe who has some >problems with the spindle engine power circuitry and a communication problem >yet unsolved. A recent issue is a malfunctioning Storebro 200 Lathe who I will deliver some more info on soon. This machine did push the revolver into the chuck when we asked it to find it's machine reference points who is in the other direction... I believe we have a fatal connection problem there.
