    Default Is XZero still in business?

    I tried emailing George earlier this year to buy new linear bearings (wore a couple out), but never received a response so I bought them from Aliexpress. My X axis ballscrew is now clicking and sounding kinda rough despite moving accurately, I think the ball nut is gone from the amount of aluminium swarf it ingested last year...heh.

    I thought I'd take the opportunity to upgrade the machine's length by getting new rails, extrusion and ballscrew, emailing the email i've used before got a bounce back of no mailbox at the address, and the website no longer seems to work?

    I've just finished a major refit of all the electronics, motors and linear bearings..my raptor is running fantastic now, its just limited in speed by the X axis ball screw - at 20,000mm/min I'm at only half the servo's power but the ballscrew is starting to sound less than pleased, so I dare not go faster.

    Is there an alternate way to contact George? He doesn't seem to have posted on here since last year.

    He was in the hospital for a while. I don't think that he's back up and running yet.

    I tried contacting him also. He has been good at returning calls. Didn't realize he was having health issues.

    @ger21 If you are in contact with George, please let him know I wish him well. Thanks.

    You might give this a go. I see there is a parts section there "Under construction".

    I'm sure a phone call to them might help solve your issues.

    INMotion looks to be built on a very very similar concept, but they are not the same company?

    I'm wary of buying anything from them as their gallery has a lot of photos of ultra cheap linear bearings.

    Does anyone know if the XZero Raptor ballscrews are a standard end machining, such as for BK/BF style? I'm hesitant to pull my machine apart to measure them as I'm in the middle of a production run right now.

    The long extrusions look like standard bosch/rexroth extrusion but with a lip for the rail to sit on?

    INMotion and XZERO are one in the same. The INMOTION machines utilize extrusions that George designed and had produced requiring fewer machined parts. I think they use the same linear bearing quality that the XZERO machines use. If George isn't available I don't think you will get any kind of reply from either company.

    I bought a new InMotion 4X4 CNC in January. Received about 90% of the machine... Spent months sending emails asking for updates, info, bill of materials, or the assembly manual/guide. No responses, nothing. Then the xzerocnc.com email went dead. Finally, as a last resort, I opened a case with PayPal. I just want the missing parts. PayPal tried to contact him and got nothing. PayPal gave me a full refund. Really sad about this outcome. I now need to source the missing parts. I would guess he is out of business. I hope he is OK.

    Well, the xzero domain is now up for sale, so I suspect the business is well and truly dead. It's a shame,as the frame was a pretty nice piece of hardware.

    Looks to me like the domain expired in March and was then purchased after deletion.
