Syil X3 Erratic Spindle Speed with Mach
Hello, I recently received my X3 a few weeks ago and I have been experiencing spindle speed issues when controlling the machine from Mach 3.
It appears others have this same problem. I am hoping someone has resolved this issue or has some additional insight.
I have tried contacting Syil, but they fail to return my calls or emails. When I do get Richard or Rod on the phone, they act like I am the first person with this problem. They seem to be ignoring or avoiding this issue.
Maybe they don't read the posts on their own forum?

I have posted 4 videos on YouTube to show the behavior of the X3 spindle with Mach.

Re: Syil X3 Erratic Spindle Speed with Mach
Hi there,
I have a Syil X5 and I real need some help here, I just don't know where to look next.
I'm using windows 7 with mach 3 and there's been no problem, very thing was working fine. I re-calibrated the spindle speed, with no luck in the afternoon. I came in the next morning, I turn on the computer and then the X5 mill to warm up and the coolant pump came on instead. I've had the control card check I've had the computer check. I can't fine the problem.
I should have never tried to calibrated spindle speed. Very thing was working fine.
I contacted Syil China, that was just pointless. The sales guy in NSW Australia he didn't want to know about.

End of the motor probably has a magnetic hall sensor and rotating magnet.
One whisker of stuff on the magnet can make it quite erratic.
Post a picture of end of motor here, so that we don't fix it the other way, instead of the right way.
The pointless bit: (that is why they are salesman)
