I'm waiting my "little baby" coming home so I think may be a good idea start an Official thread on this machine.
Some guys on this forum bought it and could help newbie like me or others who want to buy.

Dear friend ,
I have bought from China 3 weeks ago an XYZ 6090 and i am in big trouble still.By the look of the pictures of your baby it MAKE a big difference compare to mine.Can you please advise if it came with NC studio program?Did you have any problem with it?
Looking forward for your reply.

Regards
George

PS:regarding your question of maintenance of the CNC,the most and above all rules from all is clean rails,and sharp tools.

Hi.
First i don't know what's the Ncstudio, but if I correctly understand:
The SHM0609 router is provided by the DSP controller that accept the Gcode.

I found on the forum some posts concerning the NCstudio, hope it help:

Dear friend
thanks for the reply,and the company who sell the router is XYZ-TECH_CNC_Equipment_Co_Ltd.

You see i have bought from the States a new card so i can work with Mach3 instead of the NCstudio wich the router came with.After some reading and searching i came to a STOP with the instalation because the router it has a Hight Frequency inverter to control speed on the motor( DZB brand 200model).
The reason i have ask you for more information is to advise if you can and obviously if possible for you,to send me a photo of your installation regarding the four wires coming out of the bottom of the inverter .In the standard small break out board(BOB)which came with it goes on a fuse with the following order G(red),1,2,3.
What program yours came with?
Is it able to work with Mach or?

Looking forward for your reply

Regards
George

George, my router is on the way (I'm waiting it within 3 weeks) so unfortunately I can't help you.
You can try to send a PM to charnwooduk, a forum member, he got the router 3 weeks ago and may help you.

Take care

Ciao

I suspect that this is a different company to Excitech.

I found this picture of the "XYZ-tech" 0609 and it looks like a different machine to the one excitech produce - http://www.ttnet.net/show_html.jsp/c...no/000/type1/A

I am using the DSP to control the machine so cannot advise on how to set-up with mach 3

[woodworker73]

Yeah, it's not the same router.
Also specifications are different.

Charnwooduk, tell me your impressions after 3 weeks of SHM0609 use.

What type of maintenace you did when you got the router at home?

Thanks

For maintainance, i simply removed the dust covers for the rails, wiped everything clean and applied lots of grease to the lead&ball screws and wiped oil over the rails.

Also the machine bed was not quite flat, but as it is a hard plastic "foam", it is easy to mill flat (you can see the pattern left in my pictures.. bed is now perfectly flat.

I also adjusted the position of the spindle as it was mounted too low. The new position gives the full 120mm of travel (this is a two minute job to complete)

I am using the VFD control panel to operate the spindle as it did not seem 100% reliable from the DSP, although I have not spent time to investigate the issue (set function F00 to 4 and F01 to 0 on the VFD to enable this)

Made a vacuum hold down table for cutting some small rohacell parts (see pictures).

90% of my machine time is cutting 3D, as I am not worried about saving time, my 2D routing is not at very agressive depths.

[woodworker73]

Thanks.

Did you used a gcode to flat the bed or manually via the USB controller?

[woodworker73]

Router received.
As first impression it's a good costruction.
Here some pictures:

The box:

















The tool box:











Front Panel with the delta and, on the right, the cord for the zero tool:







The Hiwin rail guide:





The ball screw:





The plaque:



As wrote the costruction is overall good.
The only thing is that you can't use a transpallet to lift up the router, there are no solid beams at the bottom.
I already emailed this to Taney and he prompt reply me that this will be improved.

I will post others pictures next days.
