At the same time, the systems of direct measurement of the husillos in combination with the controls of high technology, so much Fanuc like Siemens, ensure a total precision in the positioning. Tolerances are about +/- 0.05mm (not micron tolerances at all).The universal lathe CTX 310 ECHO is indicated for operations of sophisticated turning to mechanise in bar with diameters until 200 mm and step of bar of 51 mm, thanks to the accionamiento of husillo of high dynamism, with adjustable rotational speeds until 5.000 rpm, provide a power of 11 kW and a pair of 112 Nm. Material is usually 18NiCrMo5, would you actually think the CTXs would be the right choice? I know the CTXs run on linear guides so I'm a little afraid they won't do the job. The 410 is better option and from a better factory.I'm about to buy a CTX 450 Ecoturn and a CTX510 eco, we basically work on motorbike crankshafts and turning means interrupted cut all day long. too many little issues and not quite ballzy enough. I have used the CTX310 in the past and I am not too keen the m/c coming out of the Graziano factory. You can be sure the intellectual property that makes DMG machines so cool is safe in Germany and was never at risk in the ECO collaboration. I'll let you decide what that could mean. That said, I would not buy from their ECO line ever again, German brand, Italian design (Griaziano), Chinese construction, on a budget. The DMG CTX line is awesome equipment and I would not hesitate to buy a DMG again. The 410 is better option and from a better factory.Agreed.

The 410 is better option and from a better factory. control I am not used to seeing RR and LR etc. I know cad/cam softwares and can post anything for the Hied. I am a G code programmer from the beginning. I don't like the Hiedenhein controls at all. Siemens are nice powerful controls with some cool features but hard to find employees, 2x that for the Hiedenhein.

Easy to find someone familiar with Fanuc. The Fanuc 32i is the better control out of the three. Faster ramp up in RPMs, less shadowing cutting over tooling holes, better torque curve for ripping off chunks from 9"dia down to 1" The integrated direct driven spindles work so much better than the belt driven units. In our shop we work with micron tolerances, interrupted cuts and a variety of sizes. I have worked with a lot of lathes and these sweet units take the cake.
