Frequently asked questions:

Q:   What is the lead time?
A:    New Fagor controllers are normally in stock. We can usually be on site in a week.

Q:   How long does the work take?
A:    Usually 2-3 days, during which time your machine will be out of operation.

Q:   How much does it cost?
A:   We offer the controller, installation and training for about what Fagor Automation would charge you for the controller alone. Actual dollar amounts will vary based on the options you choose. We will provide a prompt quotation once we know more about your specific application.

Q:   How long does it take to learn?
A:   It usually takes one day of training, but we will stay on site until your main operator is comfortable downloading and running a program.

Q:   Will I be able to run my old programs?
A:   Programs written for 3 and 4 axis machines are relatively easy to transfer to the Fagor. If your shop runs 5 axis programs, there will be some manipulation required. In some cases it may be easier to start with the computer model and post it with a Fagor specific postprocessor. Fagor offers a conversion program to update low level NC code from older Fagor controllers to 8055 language.

Q:   Do you offer a postprocessor for the Fagor?
A:    We have programming capabilities and resources to customize a postprocessor for your machine. The cost of programming can range from $500 to $2000.

Q:   Is there a warranty?
A:   Yes. One year on parts, if due to a manufacturer's defect.

Q:   What if I have more questions?
A:   CNC Services offers free telephone support to all of our customers.
