Ok basically there are software limits set within the syntec parameters of your machine

The error basically states that what your program is telling the machine to do is outside of the limits the...

Hi Frank,

It's completely normal to have the air rushing through I am told it is for 2 reasons, 1 is that it is used in for cooling because of the high speed ceramic bearings and the other is to...

I think almost all cad/cam programs create g-code, the questions is do you have a post processor that works with the Syntec 6MA in SolidCAM, if you don't have one I could look at modifying one for...

Thanks Mary. but I am happy with the way my machine works and setting it up the way I did has it's advantages I'm not really interested in investigating the other method :)

Thanks Daniel, I use a 55mm balanced flycutter from Carbitool, it was about $200 USD, but it is balanced and the tips on the end you can rotate once they become worn, so you can get 4x the life out...

Another video, this one just on the basic Syntec controls, I realise this is probably not news to most people but I remember when I first started it seemed difficult to get even the most basic...

The do actually have a parameter that is set for the number of tools and positions to be saved in the controller, I would have to look it up to see exactly which parameter it is, I have a fairly...

Here is my latest video, this is fairly basic, it's just about turning on the machine and then warming up the spindle.

As most people will probably realise the large KW HSD spindles use ceramic...

Hi Daniel I tried the software button but the values produced from the process seemed to give strange values to the tool heights, combining this with my design software I could not get it to function...

Maybe I didn't explain fully what I was doing in the video properly.

I do use the automatic calibration for the tool touch off, all of the tools are set using that method. But....

There are a...

Well Mary using the auto tool calibration the way you described did not work on my machine, it gave odd readings in the tool offsets when I tried to calibrate it this way I spent a lot of time trying...

I use Vectric Aspire mostly for the design software, it seems really good, the CNC I have is an XYZ P2 ATC machine with an 8 tool Carousel :)

Sure will do today

Here is my latest video, might be useful to people just starting out, basically takes through the setup of material, latching machine coordinates and loading and processing a g-code file.

Again...

Yesterday I recorded a video on setting up the tools using the auto tool touch off

This basically focus's around using a reference tool that never changes and comparing the heights of all the...

I will do a video with the way that I set up my auto tool changer in Syntec :)

Then I will post a link here

I have 2 post processors I have modified to work with Syntec, 1 is for Artcam and the other is for Vectric Aspire. PM me if you are interested and I can email you a copy of either.

It could just be that the bulb is not working, or L.E.D. depending on if it is driven or not. One thing though, pretty sure the HSD spindles also use compressed air as part of the cooling for the...

To be fair what you are actually asking for is the manufacturers setup and install parameters and as this is proprietary information you might be hard pressed to find it. I can tell you that the Z...

I have a 6MA syntec machine, it came from the factory with an 8 tool carousel ATC with auto tool measuring . A lot of the syntec information as I am aware seems to go direct to the factories and the...

Yes Graham is right for the import process we used the DCB who are one of the local customs agents, they had an agent that worked in china at the port. He could confirm the arrival of the container...

Hi Frank ( Frankmali17 )
I only had one problem with paperwork and it wasn't really a problem more like an oversight. In New Zealand the customs bureau makes them fill out an extra form it...

The Company I used is called XYZ Machinery. I can say that like most Chinese companies I have dealt with before there had been minor issues but I have managed to sort them myself with help from this...

I can have a look for you on tuesday when I am back at work there is adjustment in the parameters for it I will see if I can work it out for you :)

Cheers
Lee

I have a Vectric Aspire post processor I modified to work with a Syntec 6MA with ATC if this is of use to you let me know and I can sort out a copy

Cheers
Lee

No worries, in the Syntec control system you can program the software limits, think ours are set to around 1570 x 3090 from memory

Ok 2 part question I will try and give you both 1st to do with the size

The effective size of the bakalite vacuum table is 1500 x 3000 on the machine that we got the 1530 code meaning exactly that...

We bought a P2, but there were a tonne of options to choose from, the difference in cost was minimal for each choice, spindle size, rail type, helical rack, cabinet type, speed reducer, pump type
...

This is the contact details of the person I dealt with she was very personable.

Actually the tool changes only take a fraction of the time, using the correct tool for each part of the job saves a lot of time instead of using one tool and doing many passes because it is not the...
