I don't want to spend $10K every time it breaks down and I need to have a tech come in and fix it.
We have some Mazak CNC machining centers at work.......the amount we spend each year on service/maintenance is insane.

You don't have proper maintenance people, or possibly 'machinists'.
Wrong people running them will screw them up on a constant basis, and maintenance people are not for shit if you are having to call in out side help.
Mazak are some of the easiest I've ever looked after, and most of the issues were due to operators, other wanabe maintenance personal,
or something like placing the machine in in the same building as the foundry, and finishing departments.
Electronic don't go good with 110+ ambient temps, or a constant cloud of aluminum, and abrasive dust floating around.
