Excitech Cnc Router Purchase

[carvinmarvin]

kustom and rocket you seem to be in contact with excitech.. How are you getting in touch with them? We have trouble with them and can't get any help?? Can you help?

I'm emailing Taney right now.

I have received e-mails back and forth from him.

but hold the phone I might be a idiot but What is the differenc between 1 phase 230v and 3 phase 230v power supplies?

These machines require 3 phase 230V the paint booth, aircompressor and welders that are 230V all say 1 phase on there labels. Can I even wire this 3 phase machine into my shop?????????????????

if you are going to use this unit at a home type shop chances are you will not have 3 phase this is not uncommon but not impossible. you can get a phase conveter that will take care of this ( see website )http://www.phaseconverter.com/
on the issue of vaccum pumps a vaccum table cost less than 450.00
and can be machined on your new machine plans are redily avalible for free
the pump is (8.5hp) is available at grainger for 2300.00 +/-
i have elected to build my own
the three phase is generally required because of the vaccum and spindle
a porter cable 3.25hp router without vaccum will only require single phase.
the downfall of this is it is loud!! when compared to a spindle.

because of the great number of machines in use in the sc/nc area
there are private techs who know these machines
hiwin bearings GREAT!! servo motors GREAT!! and if nema 34 bases they are easily available and it is possibile that these machines are single phase right out of the box it is just a mater of configuration and electric bills, three phase
is generally not available in areas of high residential use it unneccessary

i bought a farm near a main highway and it is available i am having to put in a new service box for 3 ph and wiring to machines. it's the availibility of it thats the issue.

just the way i look at things

Dear Mr. Martin,

Thank you for your reply,
Now the machine's power has been confirmed that we will make a special machine with 220V single phase. I have confirmed with my factory and we will order a special Frequency Inverter 5.5Kw for you.

Pls give me your specific address and I will ask my forwarder to give you a detailed shipping cost. It may need 2 or 3 days.

Looking forward to your reply.
Best Regards
Taney

Well I get the most response from taney late evning because they are opposite sides of the world. is is 11am here but 11pm there.

I really think I am getting somewhere with him in realizing that 1 and 3 phase are different. He apparently has not had someone challenge him on that before but he seems to be aware of it now and fixed the problem.

One member that has one of these says it is like 250V and the amperage is way off. I don't want a 2000lb paper weight. I asked him if it was true that this company used to be xhyd before the name change Excitech. I also asked if there was any machines in the USA from them that I can contact. to see how this thing will play out. He is working on a DOOR toDOOR shipping plan for I don't know how hard it is to find a us port and go get this thing.

Rocket67 how many wires do you have running into your electrical box Panel? I have 4 big ones. I may actually have 3 phase here I am still working on it.
