JCUT 6090A or JCUT 6090B

[handyandy55]

Regarding the machine itself i am quite happy.

You will need to spend some time cleaning it up a bit getting rid of sand from the casting, clean all guide rails and threads.

Most important you will have to install earth wires.

Also the cables used to wiring from the USB board to the motors are not screened so you may loose steps. This has not happened to me yet but i will replace my motor cables with screened ones.

The machine is made from cast iron and work well the only thing is i would not recommend the vacuum system. It a water pump an although it does produce a vacuum i am not very happy with it. I am waiting for a vac gauge to be delived to measure vac power but i am unable to measure cubic metres of air per minute.

Hope somebody finds this of help

Gary you need to set your steps per inch/mm in mach3 of what ever software you are using and check for backlash. I am not expert but i have done mine and my circles are good

[handyandy55]

sounds to me in the "pin and port" in mach3 set up that you have not turned on your spindle within this page

I am having JCUT build me a plasma machine and I have never imported before;

Who did you use for an importer? How did you handle customs?

How did you get the required forms? How did you go about handling the transportation from port to home or office.

Thanks

Easy once you have done it.

Normaly the people making the machine with give you an import code. Check with your customs that the number is correct.


Once the machine is no route from the country of orgin, they will send you the import forms these, well some of them will have to be sent to your inport agent.

Contact a local import agent in your country normaly found around the docks and ask them for a quote. MY UK agaent did it all. You will pay them the import agent, his fee as well as any import duty and VAT.

I saved more than £4000.00 Yes four thousand UK Pounds by importing my machine

I recall reading that the states has a requirement for a special additional form, otherwise you're liable for massive extra fees or they even have the right to refuse it? Just google it to be safe at least. With mine they forgot one crucial form that caused a mad panic to avoid storage fees, so it does happen that things can be missed.

Cheers,
Ian

This means you need a computer with pci slot to use with ncstudio.

[aarggh]

If your getting NCStudio and especially if it's for a business, I'd consider getting an extra card at the time for a spare. If you have any issues with the pc or card, the machine is a massive paperweight.

cheers,
Ian

Thanks. I'll do that.
I've also upgraded the spindle from 2.2kw to 3kw.

[aarggh]

As requested, I added my responses, easier than pm
Don't hesitate to ask any more questions.

Hi

I am in a split decision whether or not I should import from China.
I've been in contac with Shanny form JCUT and its been very imformative. the following is the spec for the machine:
Large Wood CNC Router machine JCUT-1530B (59''x118'')
Features: Optional(vacuum table and dust collector)
1) Machine body: Whole cast iron
Ask for photos of the underside during manufacture as mine was covered in slag and sand from the casting, it still vibrates off a little now and then on mine! This appears to be very common with most vendors.
2) Guideway: XYZ-axis use linear guideway
Good!
3) Driving mode: Rack
Sure it's rack? Mine was indicated to be rack but turned out linear, which i'm happy with actually. I thought rack was more suited to a closed loop system like servos? Recommend you find out the specs of the rack to check quality.
4) Work dimensions: 1, 500mm x 3000mm x 150mm
5) Body dimensions: 1, 900mm x 3700mm x 1, 650mm (with bracket)
6) Z-axis working area: 80mm(or 150mm)
I would consider 80mm a complete waste on a machine this size, unless you are only ever going to machine sheets of MDF or similar. 80mm travel really limits the possibilities badly.
7) Max. Feeding height: 120mm or bigger
Apparently these specs can change at any time, I'd pin them down on what YOU'LL get!
8) Cut thickness of material: ≤ 40mm
Foam maybe, but this is a meaningless figure anyway, the construction of the frame, the steppers and controller used, and the spindle is what determines this according to the material.
9) Max. Speed: 25, 000mm/min
10) Working speed: 0 - 8, 000mm/min
Wow!
11) Mechanical precision: 0.01mm
There's a fairly good chance being a beefy and very heavy machine the manufacturing tolerance will do this resolution. If I tweak and work on mine I would get that kind of res easy, your's will be much more robust than mine i'm guessing.
12) Software: Type 3 software, Artcut software, Artcam software
Ahem...cough...warez...cough!
13) Max. Power consumption: 3kW
As powerful as you could possibly want it, 0.8kw machines aluminium fine as a comparison.
14) Power source: AC 220/50/60Hz (or 110V/60Hz)
15) Driver type: Stepper motor(XZ-85BYG, Y-axis use two 85BYG motors)
85BYG denotes a range of steppers, I'd strongly suggest they provide the EXACT spec of the stepper on each axis, as well as the drivers used, and the power supply specs. There was massive confusion with my machine as to what the motors were, and I only was sure when the machine arrived and I checked what they were. Two I feel are somewhat underpowered for the machine.
16) Memory: Without or (DSP)
17) Spindle: 2.2kW( 100mm) variable speed, water cooled motor (3kW, or bigger)
I far prefer water cooled, but others here have argued against them.
18) Spindle speed: 0 - 24, 000rpm/min
19) Blade diameter: 3.175mm, 4mm, 6mm (or 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 12.7mm)
20) Control system: (NCSTUDIO) or DSP (USB interface) (chosen NCSTUDIO)
Once you get used to it NCstudio is not completely horrible, it is the official software for all these machines and is very stable and functional I have found. Still not as good or feature rich as Mach3 though IMHO.
21) Command: G code, u00, mmg, plt
22) Running circumstance temperature: 0 - 45° C
23) Relative humidity: 30% - 75%
Packing:
Pack dimensions: 1, 750 x 3500 x 1, 750mm
Net weight: 1100kg (with bracket)
Gross weight: 1300kg

How much?

Thanks

As mentioned, after some of the issues others had, I aksed for as many pictures during the build as possible, and videos of the machines working.

Cheers,
Ian

actually, if the pci card is broken, why not just purchase an aftermarket controller board and breakout board and replace ncstudio. rewiring by following the schematics is actually easier than it seems.

Bump.
