Well, all of a sudden MutiCAM tells me that a new pendant is available after telling me for quite some time that the pendants were not available and could no longer be repaired. But a few days ago I...

Well, I'm not sure of anything at this point as I haven't received anything back from Radwell at all. I sent them the shipping account info days ago with instructions to overnight it back and have...

Here's the pics of the pendant that I have or hopefully will have again if the keypad controller ever comes back from Radwell.

Here's a few more pics;

I'll post a picture ASAP.

Thanks

Well I sent the unit to a company called Radwell who claimed for $2300 they could fix it. They said they swapped in a new display but it didn't fix it so they said it was unrepairable. Doesn't sound...

Hey Guys;

I have a 2003 MulitICAM 1000 with a pendant that has the display out, the pendant still operates but the display does not so I can home the machine etc but I cannot see to load a file...

I have a MC 1000 from around 2004 that has lost the screen on the pendant. Ive tried a few places to get another or have it repaired but so far I haven't gotten a safe lead. Any chance anyone has one...

Just after I posted this MC Canada sent them out and I received them 3 weeks after I ordered them... express though. Good thing I wasn't down and waiting on these bearings. The bearings they sent...

Hey Guys;

I've replaced the linear bearing blocks on my machine which I thought were causing a creaking noise but of course using a stethoscope I now realize its the noise is from the bearings in...

Hey Guys;

I have a General International 15-250 25" Dual Drum Sander, its sold under many names such as the Delta 31-481, Craftex CX504 and endless others.

Its been a really good sander over...

I am in the market for a small desktop injection molding machine to make a good number of small and simple parts that I currently buy. This machine is a plunger type which really means I need...

Hey Guys;

Machine has been running real well lately... for a MultiCAM 1000 anyway. lol

My latest problem is that apparently my zero has moved a touch..... here's what happened; I pulled my...

I have been running this laser for more than 10 years now and its built like a tank. Very tough and hard working but the software that came with mine, Corel drivers. works but is cumbersome. Mine is...

Hey Jim;

The machine has always done it, it's nothing new but like I said when it happens twice in one day its a pain, MultiCAM Canada is not really helpful in the least. I know they are a for...

I have a multiCAM 1000 with toolchanger and for the most part the machine is great. We use the machine about 35 hrs a week But a couple of times a week it just loses its mind. Maybe its moving and it...

Before you get too involved make sure your part is not moving. Screw it down well and if you're sure its not moving, try to reduce the cut speed and see if it still occurs. Mine just a but every now...

Hey Glenn;

I have used 1000 series with tool changer. I love it but its a frustrating machine at the same time. There is almost nothing out there for user resources and in Canada before they'll...

I am located up in Halifax, NS.

Sorry about this, but you are correct it is a stepper motor. I checked the first time via the website which advertises all MC machines with servos. That may be...

It's a 1000 series with a tool changer. I have noticed that all the cabling into the head area is pretty tight. Could this be a cause? Looking at servo info it looks to me that the motors report back...

I use ArtCAM which posts out to the MultiCAM fine. The problem is that if it was a software glitch it should happen all the time, right?

I run the same 40 minute file about 100-200 times for each...

No errors show up at all, the machine continues to cut, just about an inch lower than it should.

From studying the spoil board it actually looks like at some point when the Z axis is commanded up...

Sorry.... my Shopbot is a stepper motor design but the Multicam is at least advertised as a servo motor system. My machine is about 5 yrs old but I don;t think they recently made any large changes...

Hmmm... a cable assy? The cable for the Z axis has two components correct? One from the control box, through the echain up to the stepper connectors and the other actually a part of the stepper from...

I love answering my own questions :-) Anyway, one of the connectors on the RIO card inside the casing on the gantry was off almost completely. After re-seating it the system started and worked well...

My machine lost the Z axis again after a week or so of working well. We shut it down and pulled all the connectors and re installed them and am now getting continual DCN errors whenever I try to...

1. We reran grounds to everything yesterday. I initially was grounded back through the breaker box in the garage which was grounded by a ground rod some 300' away. Thinking this might be an issue I...

Thanks for the help. I was investigating the Z step loss issue today and found evidence of a hack in the Y gantry electronics box . The previous owner must have had the Z axis motor overheat as the...

I bought a MC1000 with a 6 position tool changer and 5.5hp Columbo spindle, and have been using it for about a month but am having some issues with it and am looking for some possible solutions...

Clayne;

Thanks for digging up this old thread because it allows me afters several years of using the system to comment, this time with maybe knowing what I am talking about :-)

I bought a...
