Normal lead time is 2 weeks. New Fagor controllers are normally in stock. We can usually be on site to perform CNC retrofits within 2 weeks of your quote request.

Fagor CNC retrofits usually take 3-8 days to complete, during which time your machine will be out of operation.

Cost varies. The actual dollar amount depends on the Fagor CNC options you choose. We can provide a prompt quotation once we know more about your specific application. We offer the controller, installation and training.

One day. We will stay on site until your main operator is comfortable downloading and running a program. It usually takes one day of training.

Maybe. Programs written for 3 and 4 axis machines are relatively easy to transfer to the Fagor controller. 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 post processor. Fagor offers a conversion program to update low level NC code from older Fagor controllers.

Yes. We have programming capabilities and resources to customize a ‘post processor’ for your machine. The cost of programming varies and can range from $500 to $2000.

Yes. Fagor Automation offers one year warranty on controller parts, if due to a manufacturer’s defect.
