As an update. I reached out to Alphacam support for an unrelated issue with Alphacam 2022. He agreed that this material thing looks like an issue and will open a support ticket for me. I hope it...

The problem I have isn't an issue if I use the Nesting function. It's only when I use the Automation Manager that this is an issue.

At the moment, I process all the parts using the Automation...

I've been working on this for weeks....

I can't seem to figure out how to utilize some offcuts for my nested parts. Originally I thought it would be as simple as entering the sheet sizes into the...

I had a 3000 series machine installed in April and it doesn't have any problems with tool changes. When the machine was first installed the installer somehow performed a toolchange but the spindle...

I've only had our Multicam 3000 for a few months but it thread mills no problem.

I've done some 3/8" npt threads and cut a 1/2"-13 thread with a single point threadmill.

No, I bought the machine from Bob. One of his technicians put the machine together.

The gantry supports and the gantry needed to be installed. I also purchased an optional t-slot table with the...

We are also a plastic shop and I've had our 3-305R up and running since the middle of April. We don't have helical racks on our machine but it is cutting parts and I'm very satisfied with the edge...

Well, I'm happy to say my 3000 arrived last Thursday and was powered up yesterday. The vacuum table and dust collector still needs to be connected. The table top still needs to be cut as well. ...

I'm dealing with Bob Austin in Toronto for my Multicam. I'm actually expecting delivery on Monday or Tuesday next week.

I know I promised pictures. I took some but haven't had a chance to upload...

I'll take some pictures tomorrow and post them.

I believe that AXYZ and even Techno are capable of making a good machine but when I did a demo of each (I even went to NY to demo the Techno) only the Multicam was able to perform adequately.

I...

We've had our TM2 for about 1.5 years. We don't run any coolant because we're only cutting plastic so the lack of an enclosure isn't an issue. It's performed flawlessly since we received it.

I ended up ordering a Multicam 3000 and expecting delivery in mid March.

I'll post any downtime issues if I have any.

I was struggling to find a Canadian company, actually local company to purchase a new router in April '06. I was going to purchase a Shopcam but decided to look for a company with a longer track...

I was in the exact same situation for the last 6 months.

I think I did a very thorough search, Mulitcam, Techno, Axyz, Flexicam and a couple of other locally built machines. I was looking for 72"...

I was quoted approximately $45k-55k Cdn dollars to rebuild a used router with a Centroid controller. This would include all new servos and labour.

I'm still considering the Techno but after hearing more about the Flexicam I'm probably going to give them a call tomorrow.

I haven't been looking into machines with quite as much z clearance and travel but I do require similzr y travel.

FWIW, the Mulitcam sales person cautioned me about loss of rigidity if I added a...

manhattancnc,

I appreciate your input very much.

I just finished a demo with Axyz today and they seemed to be having problems with their machine. I was a little dissappointed but I'm sure the...

Thanks for the input. I will definitely look into your other two suggestions. Unfortunataly my budget is less than $90k cdn.

I'm just about to purchase a new router (72" x 144") for cutting plastic. We will be cutting acrylic, polycarbonate, delrin, nylon, HDPE, PP etc. etc. I've narrowed the choices down to

Multicam...

I'll second what Karl T said. I machine 90 Shore A (which I've used for suspension bushings) with HSS tooling.

We cast any parts lower than 90 durometer.
