Chinese CNC Syntec 6MA my experience

[IN-WondeR]

Having problems getting MLCedit to run on my PC... Is there a specific trick to it?

[Frankmali17]

I'm not sure what the trouble may be...
I have been using versions 2.29.3

I'll try to attach it here

This should work..
Do you have experience with Syntec?
Do you have esperience with Ladder files?

Hello SYNTEC users..
Especially 6MB or 6MA..
I need your help.

If you have a machine with a rotary tool changer... can you please upload your macros and ladder file here?
all you have to do is make a backup.. (syntec usually makes a zip file) and upload it here please.

I am reverse engineering some of the comments and configurations.. to help english language users.

It would also help if you can tell me, if on the control panel.. near the ESTOP button, your CCW and CW buttons perform a function, and if the LEDs respond when you press these buttons

Thanks in advance..
PM me if you preffer.

I got it to work, must be something missing on my shop PC, so I moved it to my Office PC, worked right away.

I'm not that experienced with ladder profiles yet.
I run a Syntec driven Machine with a Carousel type tool changer.

I have attached the Backup of the complete system for you. I would love a English translated version of it. Using Google Translate does not exactly make it understandable. :P

The CW and CCW buttons next to the E-stop on mine controls the carousel turning either way.

HEY DID YOU GET PP FOR SYNTEC FOR ASPIRE IF NOT IT IS AVAILABLE IN ASPIRE FORUM LOOK FOR IT IF YOU FAIL TELL ME I WILL CHECK MY FILE AND POST IT FOR YOU .

Hello IN-Wonder
How long have you had your machine? and What are you trying to get to work?

Do you have pictures of the machine you could share?

It looks like you have a rotary tool changer.. and automatic material loading ?

[Frankmali17]

Hey everyone..
Be aware.. everyone's syntec setup is unique..
If you are familiar with Mach3 for example.. you know that it is very flexible... but also it means that everyone can set up their machines and macros in totally unique and different ways.
The manufacturers do enough.. and sometimes know only enough.. to get the result they need to complete a machine.

Unless someone is very intentional.. they don't leave any comments.. leaving you to do a lot of guessing and reverse engineering.

I have been working on my system for about a year.. about 150hours to get it pretty well deciphered.. And I am still not done.

I feel like, at the end of my process.. I should get a bit more training and start working for SYNTEC support.

What I learned so far.. is that people who sell these systems in North America know almost nothing about it in depth... they only know what the guy in Asia told them.. and the guy in Asia built them..

SYNTEC does seem very capable.. but with that comes huge complexity.

I wonder if anyone can compare it to other systems here in North America?

Hi Frankie

Well I got my machine just this month, and I must admit, this machine delivers all I ever hoped for.

It's purchased from Sudiao CNC Machinery Co Ltd. And the sales rep, have been very helpful in getting me started.
Just sorry to say the Chinese do not ship a working PP for Vectric Aspire, but luckily I got one from a Friend.

I have attached a few pictures of my machine.

I have had little or no problems with the machine, worked straight out of the box,

Specs are.

4x8 work area, 12" Z axis
Syntec 6MB
Yaskawa 750w Servos with 10:1 planetary gearboxes on all axis.
9HP Italian HSD ATC Iso30 spindle
Full Vacuum Table
Positioning Pins
Mist Coolant system
Central Lubrication (which actually works)

And the control box has Giant connectors on the back, for easy relocation without having the control box connected to the machine.

Very happy camper here.

[Frankmali17]

Looks like a very Nice machine.. .
Mine is pretty cool... but the fit and finish on some parts left a bit to be desired.

[IN-WondeR]

Sudiao went all out on this one. Even painted inside and outside, which my last machine was not.

Fit is very nice, sheet metal used is thicker than on the cheaper machines, hence the weight of almost 2300kg

They did not do their best when setting up the rotary though, wasnt centered to the spindle, so the tools went in a little off center to the tool holder forks. But I have since corrected this, and now they go in almost completely in center.

Other than that, I have had absolutely no issues with the machine, and it runs just as I hoped it would.

[IN-WondeR]

I would like to add an Mcode for one of the buttons in my PLC ladder system, but I'm a bit hessitant just slamming in an Mcode in the PLC ladder system,

I have an output o89 I would like to be able to turn on and off automatically during a program run, it's for my dust collector.

How would I go about doing that?

[Frankmali17]

Hello...
O89 is tied to I89...
Which is th F5 button.
Is it assigned to something right now? A lot of machines use it for tool measuring.

You need to use outputs 0 to 15 and then tie the output to an external relay or contactor...
Let me know if this is any help.
PM me

Hi everyone,

I've had this machine for a while now with no major issues.
Now, I changed one of the tools and I need to do a Tool Tip Measure. I've done it before with no issues, but now I'm getting a couple errors:

Macro 333 Z start point error alarm!
Coordinate 27 The1NcProgramL1: Invalid macro arguments

Any ideas on how to fix this and measure my tooltip?

Thank you!

yes I had seen this problem before, most of the time is after using the machine for a long time with out a dust collector or not cleaning your machine very day.

the problem is dust stuck in the groove of the tool sensor, the spring loaded surface of the sensor does not come fully come back up,

how to solve the problem, take air nozzle and blow air lightly in the sensor groove and push down and up on the sensor at the same time


this solved my problem

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but maybe someone can help me.

I created GCode with Fusion360, and loaded on the Syntec 6MD-H, but I get an error when I want to run the GCode. My question is, what Port processor do you guys use when creating GCode for this CNC?

[gfacer2]

I don't know about the posts for fusion but have a Vectric one. Could send it Monday if you pm me. It might be posted somewhere too, can't remember. Can't recall what more common post it is similar to.

Serum yes on my ATC spindle it blows air out through the bearing to keep it clean.
when i got the machine it was blowing all the time, I change it so it's only blowing when the spindle is running.
then I also mention AIR Blow, there is a button for that, I use that for my mist spray
and changed the ladder so i can use M8 to turn it on and M9 to turn it off.
On my machine is F1 dust hood up and down and F1 works with M175/176, F2 is Tool release, Don't push it if you dont have your hand on the tool holder, It will drop the tool in a second.
F3 is limit override, F4 is not in use on my machine and F5 is for auto tool measurement.

How did you adjust the airflow settings? Our compressor kicks in all the time because of this.

[costasantonio]

Hello. I need a syntec pp for aspire if you could send it to me. Thank you.

[Drndpatel]

I’m getting a Macro 333 error. Can you help solve this please.

[Aceline]

Hello Lee, have the more basic of these options, what software do you use and what post processor did you use?

[djjwill]

hello can anyone help me? i bought a cnc router with syntec FC-60CA controller. the software i think is the same as the 6MB controller. the problem is that the spindle speed control is not done. just the spindle start. fix rpm. are there two more free outputs on the controller that could solve the 10v speed control?
