Strike CNC (My first CNC router)

[petesos]

Sigh why are things never as simple as they should be.

Had it up and running with mach doing some jogging about and it jerks around like a jack hammer on the Y and Z stalls all the time even with low speed/accel. The software from Leadshine doesn't work for me either and throws up errors then crashes when reading or writing data to the drives.

Why didn't I spend the money on a nice long holiday instead!

Well Bud I am nearly smashed out of my face drinking Jack Daniels and on my third box of kleenex reading all the posts regarding StrikeCNC and I asked myself that very question....why didnt I spend the money on a nice holiday .
Still look on the bright side at least you have your machine All I have is a few texts and they cost me over £5000

Yes but he still doesn't have a working machine and the very short time it did work then it was completely useless. . . SO My very strong advice having dealt with Ant's machine is to get your money back "DONT TAKE DELIVERY". it can only get worse.!

It's your statutory rights to change your mind and ask for the money back and because they have taken so long with delivery then I suspect they have broken the agreement so will have to return any deposit. I'm no expert so check it out but think they won't a have a leg to stand upon.? ( He certainly wouldn't have working one if it was my money.!!)

This base machine(Not with enclosure) can easily be built for around 2K by anyone with half decent skills. Like I said at the beginning this machine can be made with just a decent drill press and basic hand tools. Yes it could be made far better with milling machine or another cnc machine and is were I'm helping Ant but the actual machine your buying can easily be made with drill press and hand tools.!

Hi Bud
I have given this cretin enough time and now I am just waiting for the 7 day warning letter period to expire and then its off to court with this parasite, I need people to come forward and let me know if they want there cases brought up at court as I think there is a case for HSE here to be informed Does that man not understand he could have killed someone with that shody wiring I read about in one of the Posts on this forum.
But like I said I am taking him to court when the warning letter expires (Tuesday) If anyone wants there day with this Parasite let me know

Hello Petesos,

Here another strike customer. I want to send you a pm but i can't figure out how to do this. Can you contact me?

Found an updated version of the Leadshine software on their website. Hopefully this fixes the crashes.

Hi Gary.

I'm using the leadshine RS232 cable(bought from you) and it plugs into the COM1 on the PC, no dongles or USB converters.

The motor tuning done by the DIP switch 4 doesn't rid the howling noise unfortunately.

I'll give this new version of the software a try. The one I was using seemed to be quite old 2010 vs 2012

[Shinobiwan]

Newer version still does the same. Its odd because I can access everything within the software ie. the tuning options work and control the drives. But I can't read or write the RAM/EEPROM without getting the error.

The error is a string of numbers and letters followed by 'This type of data collation is not supported by the operating system'. Running XP btw.

I wouldn't be that bothered if the auto setting could get rid of that damn annoying howling noise. I was more impressed with the cheap chinese drives I had before than these and that's not saying much! I'll let Dean have a look at them when he's over but if I can't fix the issues can I return them for an exchange Gary?

[Gary]

Have you tried another driver? is the problem with one driver?
is your version of windows 32 or 64 bit? did you do the tuning without any load on the motor shaft (Disconnected from the ballscrew?)
What is the motor? do you have the dasheet, and how are you connecting (Series or parallel) and what is the current set to?
These drivers are very good, and i personally use these drivers on my mill, and they are near silent and we only autotuned them.

As with everything we sell, returns are accepted.
