Considering letting this jem go to a good home, who will love her and feed her cool jobs. 1980 Excello 408 HMC with extended Y axis per special order. Built in Howell, Michigan. Almost identical machines are still built in Howell to this day as Machining Systems. http://machiningsystems.com/032015/ I believe that Excello is serviced under Fives Group, along with Cincinnati, and Giddings and Lewis. metal-cutting-composites.fivesgroup.com Came from Gov facility building missile parts. wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City_Plant Only ran (in service) 10 years, and then mothballed for 15 years when I got her. Service records seem to show that it got very few hours of use while there. Originally had Dynapath System 5 (4 axis) control. We replaced the old control with a PC based 5 axis system. Running CamSoft on top of XP, with Galil motion components. It IS a full 5 axis contouring control. Integration is not complete. I have ran it for the last 10 (?) years as is. The toolchange macro has not been written yet. The rigid tapping macro has not been written yet. The C axis encoder IS in place and integrated for the rigid tapping. Travels are: X = 48" Y = 48" Z = 28" (I think) B = full 360,000 A = full 360,000 Table is 28" x 36". It does NOT have a pallet changer. 20 hp (?) spindle motor with a 3 speed gearbox. 3000 rpm max. Cat 50 36 tool chain on top of machine with changer. Is possible to run changer manually, tho I never used it that way. The A axis is a 30" Diameter Pratt and Whitney rotary table that is very tight. Linear axi's are built on 2 x 5" solid box ways with rollers. Ways are in like new condition. Servo motors and drives are all original Getty's, except the A axis has a Siemens motor. I also bought her sister and cannibalized her. So we have spare screws for X and Y. (possibly Z?) Spare motors, and the whole motor / spindle / gearbox / center carrier assembly. I'm not sure what all parts that we have squirreled away.... Haven't needed any... While it is absolutely wonderfull to have this capability occasionally, I am just not utilizing her enough. Will sell to good shop who will love her and feed her for $30,000 @ 419-924-5616
