I've recently purchased a Fadal VMC 15 and I'll be retrofitting it and
replacing servos and electronics. The last machine I retrofitted was an old
miyano gang lathe and I'm driving the spindle and servos with 8i20's. I
just love them they are great.
Is there any plan for a larger capacity 8i20? I

Thank you, sir.
I'm in process of doing an Emco pc turn 55 for myself and first order at
