Rocket,
I'm having my problems with knobology. The Syntec controller looks like it will be pretty robust, but I cannot figure it out. The machine seems to work great. I can home the machine and manually move the 3 axis. Beyond that I am lost. I don't know how to run a program even in simulation mode. I wish they sent a decent operation manual to get me started. They didn't send me a manual that shows the layout of the control panel with descriptions of each button or knob. I wasted hours just trying to find the right button for homing the machine. The Syntec Application manual that they supplied seems like it is designed for the machine builder and not for the machine user. I've asked Taney for help and he replied right away, but sent me the same manuals I'm having problems with. I'm in the process of finding someone that can help me figure out how to run the machine. I guess may brain isn't flexible enough at 56 as it was when I was 20 when I had success with knobology.
Anyway my machine arrived in good shape with a few issues.
1. had a faulty E stop switch.
2. the air compressor is wired for 380 VAC instead of 220 so it doesn't work. (Taney said he is sorry).
If anyone has had better luck with their Syntec controlled machine, please advise on any hints.
Thanks, Mitch  |
