Fryer Cnc Operator Manual
Hi Guys, I have a need for a larger open type CNC mill in my shop(Welding/Fab and heavy equipment repair). I know, and have used the older Haas TM's at employers in the past, and know they are what I need as much as alot of people don't like them, I machine some larger parts doing builds or repairs and actually like the open machine even if its messy. The Fryer caught my eye with the conventional capabilites with the larger travel on the axis which would be awesome for some things I get into even with the sacrifice of a tool changer. However, I don't know anything about the company, quality of the machines, or the control they use. Muller martini operators manual. Any thoughts?
Appreciate any input, looking to do a purchase(new or used) before the end of the year. Hi Guys, I have a need for a larger open type CNC mill in my shop(Welding/Fab and heavy equipment repair).

Any thoughts? Appreciate any input, looking to do a purchase(new or used) before the end of the year. Thanks.If it was me I might be looking for a Mori Seiki MV35/MV55 (or similar), would probably be cheaper, and if it has a Fanuc control will be readily serviceable.
Also their open so can accomadete large/heavier parts. I wouldn't give up on a tool changer. I have a similar bed mill (same travels with a Centroid control).I never used the manual handwheels for the x,y,z so I removed them, but the manual quill sure does come in handy.
Mine used nmtb 40 toolholders but I changed the drawbar so I could use the same cat 40 toolholders that my other machining centers used. I don't see the lack of a toolchanger as a problem, you wont be using this type of machine for repetitive production. It replaced 2 manual Bridgeports and it works good for prototype parts, fixtures and repair parts. Another positive of this type of machine is it's simplicity.
Any problems are easy to diagnose and repair unlike a vmc. Our shop has two fryer mb-10r machines with toolchangers and a fryer mb45. They have been reliable but they dont get worked very hard by us. Build quality/ fit and finish is very low in my opinion. The base machines are cast and machined overseas and the control fitted here. We dont really need open machines and tired of the mess, added a haas vf2ss last year and am happy with it. I pushed for haas machines when we purchased the fryers.

The other guys had to have box ways, which fryer brags on. What they dont tell you is the x on the toolroom mills are dovetail ways. My argument is they dont have enough spindle to justify box ways, our haas with linear ways has proven to have more spindle power actually.

Any thoughts? Appreciate any input, looking to do a purchase(new or used) before the end of the year. I run the tool room at a manufacturing plant and the Fryer MB14Q is my main piece of equip. It was put in last July and does everything I need it to.
Tool changer is not a big deal unless you're doing production work but, for job-shop / one-off type jobs you don't need it. The conversational programming is really fast and easy. Unless you have Siemens CAM software you have to write code at the controller and some of the coding is different. Took me some time to figure out what was needed for G18-G19 programming. We are looking at adding another one next year. I'm happy with it.
