Question 1: The spec calls for a 40,000 rpm spindle capable of drilling 25mm, tapping M20 and machining 150cm3. We believe this to be a specification that does not exist within the market for a machine this size, and therefore we believe there may be a typo. We interpret high speed to be anything above 12,000 rpm. Assuming this is the case for the specification and that 40,000 rpm is indeed required, can you ask the end user to re-examine their drilling tapping and machining requirements? Answer 1: The tapping, drilling and maching capacities listed in the technical specifications are those required for the base model. The vendor will need to specify the changes in capacities for adding the high speed package. Further, if the inclusion of the high speed package permanently changes the capacities of the base model, this fact would need to be stated. What is expected of a control - 3 axis at once is standard with positioning on the 4th and 5th axis, or up to 5 axis blending ? -Full 5-axis What level of acceptance is needed using a Renishaw QC20W Ball Bar System that goes to the micron level ? - ref:www.renishaw.com under calibration equipment. -The QC20W is bluetooth wirelss and cannot be used in this facility. What type work is proposed, engraving in 5 axis to general machine parts? -Machine parts, injection molds, etc. What are the qualifications of their personnel for training and do they have any computerized equipment currently in use? The training period can not be open ended for infinity. We will give 40 hours training to a qualified CNC machine tool operator. -Experienced CNC user. Will a foundation be built for this machine as recommended by the builder. -No. Is this machine restricted to 96" height for moving only or can it be assembled to be taller inside their facility? - 96" limit for installed machine. Is a sub spindle attachment acceptable for high speed operations? -No. Warranty is for one year for parts only. Is this acceptable ? -No.
