- Mold and die shops cutting medium-sized progressive die components, injection mold inserts, and extrusion dies
ONA AV80
- Greater x travel of 800 mm (31.5 in) accommodates larger workpieces
- Greater y travel of 600 mm (23.6 in) accommodates larger workpieces
- Greater z travel of 500 mm (19.7 in) accommodates larger workpieces
- Superior u axis at +/-100 mm (+/-3.94 in) vs +/-75 mm (+/-2.95 in)
- Superior v axis at +/-100 mm (+/-3.94 in) vs +/-75 mm (+/-2.95 in)
Verdict
The ONA AV80 edges ahead on specifications in this comparison, particularly in X Travel and Y Travel. However, the ONA AV60 remains competitive and may be the better choice depending on price, dealer support in your area, or specific workholding and tooling considerations. Both are capable machines — the best decision comes from running your actual parts and evaluating total cost of ownership including tooling, training, and service.
