Thanks Shannon,

Yes our machine has a homing sensor/limit switch on each side. There are actually two limit switches on the Y axis for the negative home position and four on the c (y2) axis, two...

Shannon,

Thanks for the quick response.

I must be dense because I am missing something.

It seems that if the machine uses the homing switches to find home, then we must be able to adjust...

Shannon,

Wondering if you could lend a hand.

Our gantry is out of square with the table. I noticed you had removed your x axis drive (the y on our machine) as per post 119 in this thread.

If...

Our 1325C gantry is out of square with the table. Has anyone had any luck adjusting the Y or C axis to square up their machine?

We have found the Y and C axis offset parameter values in the Syntec...

GVR,

Our MDIBLOCK file didn't contain anything, but I did manage to change all the tools in MDI by simply entering the M6 Tx where "x" was the tool position. Each time it replaced the tool and...

Shannon,

Just wanted to chime in and mention that we bought the Chinese version of the Becker VTLF250, 10HP pump with our CNC.

While we were hooking it up and bumping it to check for correct...

GVR,

Again thanks, yes the brass ring is part of the tool length touch-off. Not sure how to use it, but it has alrady been used at the factory as I can see slight marks in it surface.

If I...

GVR,

Thanks so much for the reply. You saved me lots of time. Any ideas where we can get spare grippers?

Any tips on setting the zero for the tools. I assume we can set zero for each tool in...

Nothing like answering your own post.

I d/l'd the HSD manual, and found out that the spindle requires 100PSI for tool release and 58PSI constantly, even when not running for internal...

Just wanted to post an update.

Our machine, compressor, vacuum and dust collector are all installed and working. The table is leveled, cleaned and greased/lubricated. We are basically ready to...

Mitch,

Thx for the info, did you get those error codes from Taney? Is it possible to get a copy of the error codes if you have them?

I'm not in the shop now, but we loaded our own programs...

Mitch,

We have finally fired up our CNC today! Only been sitting in the shop since May.

We've made decent progress today with the Syntec controls, and will post a full write-up of what we have...

I just wanted to get these images into the thread.

Here are the pictures of the Syntec controller components that Exitech sent.

These are from the Syntec website.

I have requested more...

Mitch,

Sorry for not responding earlier, but I have been busy trying to get the shop set-up.

As mentioned before we purchased Enroute through RouterCAD, and they have supplied us with a post...

Just wanted to get a thread up for those of us with the Excitech - Syntech Controller.

Hopefully we can use this thread to share our successes and work together to overcome our stumbling blocks.
...

Mitch,

Your CNC looks very familiar. I think you may have your machine running before me. Our utility has told us they will have the 3PH to our shop by June 27th. Only been waiting since...

Gerrit,

Sorry I forgot to mention that we upgraded to the 10HP spindle, wasn't much of cost difference, only had to pay for the larger VFD.

Spencer.

Gerrit,

Sorry no news. We are still waiting for our local utility to get three phase to our building. All I can say is it must be nice to own a monopoly. I am very pi**ed off that we have been...

Fair enough, I was only refering to Line to Neutral voltages, actually Line to Line in North America is 240V.

In N.America most households are serviced with 120/240 single phase. I believe Europe...

I can't read the wire markers in our picture, but you should have a N, L1, L2, L3 for Neutral & Line 1-3. 220V is a standard N.American voltage. My machine is 220V 3PH and will be run on a 120/208V...

Jim,

Thanks for the quick reply. I think ramping the bit in and out of the dado on a 45 or 60 degree will work and eliminate the round corners. We then just have to angle notch out the stretchers...

Jim,

If my memory serves me right, you use blind dado construction for your cabinets. My business partner and I are playing with AutoCabinets trying to build our library. We are wondering how you...

Ya, my older son looks like he is picking his butt, while the little guy is busting some kinda move. They were good helpers though.

Well here's a few to tie you over till next week.

Let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to see. I was upset that they shipped everything on the bed, after I specifically...

Mitch,

Yes I am back, was home for a day before driving eight hours to Vancouver to pick it up. Took a little while to drive back but made it in one piece, was slow going up the mountain passes...

Nice work Jim. I love natural finishes, wood that looks like wood.

You seem to have cabinetpartspro working well for you.

Spencer.

We purchased Autocabinets, the door module, dovetail drawer module and Enroute Wood Pro.

It was expensive, but that is relative. Some people grip about spending 10k on software to run there...

Shannon,

If you only have single phase are you going to try and run it with a Phase Converter?

I don't think we have the same DSP, our machine has the Syntec controller, which is different than...

Cabnet,

I am actually not a cabinet maker by trade. I have a college diploma in business, but both my grandfather and step father were british cabinet makers, so i have worked with wood ever since...

Shannon,

Good idea about the moisture. I will definitely open it up, maybe even install a small electric heater to act as an anti-condensation heater.

We are in opposite boats, my electric...
