Chinese CNC Routers. Problems??

[Jimmy007]

Rocket- missed your question for me in your earlier post.

Would be easier for you to see the machines at my place then bring one to Adelaide- forget the crownies, I brew my own and have kegs tapped at all times :-)

The spindle and frequency inverter, stepper drivers, and Vac pump have very good manufacturer docs provided on CD- the machine manual is limited but certainly provided enough info to get the machines running with minimal effort.

No problem with set up or damage other than dent to control box enclsure. Vac table was plumbed to tank, just one connection to pump. Wiring was straight forward.

Backup has been great (have had a few questions concerning type of grease to use, tool sensor use etc all answered withing an hour.

Am sure they would provide parts in service but the important bits are all generic or big name so should be able to find an alternative source if need be.

Dust extraction is your typical rough looking chinese motor and tinware (strongly suspect not made in house) but works suprisingly well and was very cheap compared with local offerings.

Sea freight to AUS was 25 days. Factory lead time would have been around three weeks.

I will be in China next month so plan to check out the factory if I can fit it in. Am interested to see how the machines are made and what else is available.

Bewdy mate! Great info.
As we are finding out more about these machines we are becoming convinced that they are excellent value for money.
The fact that they use "name company" components should make it easy for us to get the machine serviced by a local tech.
Where in Sydney are you located? I have informed my wife that our trip to Tassie can wait till after xmas as i am dead keen to come over to have a look at your machine. As you are headed overseas next month can we plan to fly over in early December? We have missed the boat to get our machine before xmas so now there is no rush. We will only take about an hour of your time. Like the idea of trying out your amber liquid too.
Then we might give Rooty Hill RSL a bit of a nudge.

Thanks again, Rod.

G'day guys,

Any updates on these machines? I'm thinking about buying one myself at the moment. I tried the sh-cnc.com link but it didn't work. Have they got a new name or address or are they still about?
Thanks.

I checked them out at shcnc. I dealt with maxry. I think it will be very difficult to get any type of support from them. He said the electrical is "not set up for america but you can do it no too hard".. I'm considering the ezrouter. looks lik ethe best bang for the buck.

Thanks Guys,

Shannon, I read through you Excitech Modification thread last night with much interest. The Excitech machine does look a lot like the Omnisign Plus machine that I was first looking at. I found the Excitech web site and have emailed them for more info and pricing. I will keep you posted.
By the way, if there are any Tasmanian Excitech owners out there I would like to hear from you.

Regards,
Dave.

[THE SIGN SHOP]

Hi all...
my shop in NFLD Can. and a shop in NS Can. purchased 5' x 10' INTELICAM Routers
from a dealer in Ottawa Can. www.intelicam.com Dealing with the Chinese and his dealer Shanghai WingSpread Industry Co., Ltd. headed up by qin jie <micoqinjie@gmail.com> as the sales agent.

the two machines have never worked from day one, and for the last 14 months we have
been asking for replacement .

the machines have so many issues to list them would take a lot of space on this blog

Question has any one had any experience with these former cam tech now INTELICAM
sellers they would like to share.

each of these machines will need aprox 10,000$ of retrofit to work properly
and although some attempts were made none have worked these fellows have financial embarrassment they are dealing with at the moment so we may never see the repair

I will post pictures for view
