Anyone ever have problems with biesse machines? I purchased one about 2-3 years ago and it causes me more headaches than solutions. The software is written by someone in second grade whether you dont have a tool selected, no air in the machine, software is closed, or any of the thousands of other issues your going to get the exact same error codes. So were at the point where the machine literally cannot be fixed without calling biesse because no matter the issue.its the same error code. Anyone have advise working with a biesse machine? I'm done dealing with their customer service, its awful, would never recommend this machine for anyone. I use a Biesse Klever 1224 at my work.
The software is not CAD software so it makes it really challenging to make programs. We upgrades to Alphacam for making programs and it is night and day better. As for error troubleshooting I found that to be the craziest part of dealing with this machine. The error codes make no sense and don't help lead you to the problem area or system and can be very misleading (it's the equivalent of getting a check engine light when your door is ajar). I found that if you take the error report at face value you'll get nowhere. I use the optimizer to highlight in red error areas and then click on them to see what the written out version of the error is. I have had relays causing errors as well as tool clamping issues.
When ever I called for service I did get a response, it just takes a long time to get a response. I've waited 3 hours at my desk for a callback once when my machine was down. I started building a mental checklist of errors so that I can verify them as I go. The big one is when the main spindle changes from automatic to manual tool changing (something that happens frequently when you have to correct a tool changer error). I have to tell the machine where the tool is and it makes the tool change a manual one because I selected the tool and not because I told it to go to manual. Biesseworks is a software that was designed with the operator knowing nothing and the software having all of the control.
I am not a fan of this philosophy when it comes to operating a tool. When I need it to cut something a certain way, I need it to do that and not tell me it want's to switch the order of tools around because it sees that as time optimal (and would scrap the project if I let it go with that tool order).
It is like the software engineers thought of the 10 ways that things could have a hiccup and didn't see the 40 other corner cases that could come up. Your best bet is to make a list of all the known errors that you encounter and ensure that they are not the issue. Then, what ever is left is for the tech. When the tech comes and repairs it, you see what they did or take their advice on how to avoid it and add that to your library of fixes.
Soon, you'll only be left with the actual parts broken and needs replacing. I feel your pain.
