Hi Jessie I own a similar X7 but with a umbrella tool changer and same Syntec 22MA controller. Just a point of clarification. The small container at the rear of the machine is there to catch used lubricating oil from the slide/way bearings. There may be coolant mixed with the oil but I have never found this to be the case in any significant volume. A more appropraite term for the box is an oil skimmer. A tramp oil hose should be fitted on the left hand side and fed into a oil waste container. For some reason this hose is never supplied?? Looking forward to your machining exercise. Also can you show viewers how you check the intensifier oil level inside the spindle enclosure and how long it takes. Cheers John
Yes the arm is fast it’s allways been super fast it’s the dwells and the ramp up/ ramp down times that lead to longer than typical tool changes on these machines. Perhaps yall are waiting to get the ladder refined and some pro level tuning before you actually show real world use case changes but if you cut the scene in the next video we will know lol. Gotta show at least 2-3 tool changes in one uncut clip to be transparent and honest about the times. Preloaded tool change dosent really tell the story. Not picking on anyone just pointing out that honesty and transparency is the best policy. No ones mad it’s not as fast as machines that cost 3x people just wanna see things realistically. Make good choices team 👍🏻
The read ahead in the controller should already cue the next tool. With that being said I have a 12.5hp hsk spindle on my cnc router and this machine doesn't really impress me at all for the price. I want to see one actually machining something other than aluminum with a .020" step over. Maybe some 4340 with 20% step over on a 1/2" with .004 per tooth feed rate.
you do know you can most likely have the next tool ready in the pot most machines with this system work that way like lets say tool 1 is running but you need tool 5 next you can have the machine prep tool 5 in the ready spot while tool 1 runs so it should always change fast like shown in the video
@@christopherhorne8665 haven't done any 4340 yet but I've run 316SS at 250 SFM / 70ish IPM with a 1/2" 5 flute. 0.8" DOC and .075" radial. Could probably do more with a better tool but I was only at 30% on the spindle load. Had to back off a bit because it started getting noisy. There's only so much you're going to be able to get away with given that its only a 30 taper spindle.
@norbertnagy5514 won't even need much memory its one extra line with a simple "T#" on the machines I have worked on just don't put the M6 and it will prep it
My dad bought a lot of CNCs ... But the award goes to the CNC he bought for my mum's business ... Just a large CNC router with a 6m table ... It's so quiet and yet the dimensions are always perfect ... Plus it's Chinese and unexpected ... The lesson is ... Know who you buy from and in person
I love how clean they look, I see why they're good for the value. Also that tool change is fast, I'd argue faster than the DVF machines, can't wait to see these in action.
I want this machine so much. Their spindle accuracy is better than a HAAS. My wife and I have it in our plans to buy one in 4 years to get started with our injection molding business that needs an accurate machine. Thank you, Titan team, for all you do.
Define "Spindle accuracy". I've tested the HAAS we have and it's 0 tenths TIR on the spindle and repeatability is about 2 tenths and that machine is going on 9 years old.
Yes, and in order to bring more manufaturing back, there must be affordable well working machines aviable, to get even more people into machining. The vaule creation aroundt the fabrication of the machine itself is peanuts compared to the value the machine can create in its lifetime, in America, by Americans.
According to SYIL, they're designed and manufactured in-house in China, while they outsource some components and accessories from other countries. "SYIL machine tools are designed, Our machinery and equipment are designed, manufactured, and tested in our factory in China. Components and accessories are manufactured in-house or sourced from around the globe from our partners in Germany, Japan, and Switzerland. These products go through quality assurance procedures developed and controlled by our in-house engineering team."
Great machine. I was also super surprised how quiet the spindle was when I heard it in person. I had to ask if it was running because I couldn't believe how quiet it was compared to all the other machines we have around the shop. Very clean and quality machine. Ready to see how it cuts the monel👏
I'm really excited to see that you guys are the distributors for this machine! I've been looking to finally have a "real" CNC in my garage, and I've been trying to decide between the X5 and X7 for a year, already!
I would be very interested in a detailed accuracy report for this machine. In my opinion, there must be alot of trickery involved to achieve decent accuracy at that price.
yeah me too, I think that would be the final nail in the coffin if they could make 3 parts in monel or inconel, cmm them and give us a report on how it did for repeatability.
@mobilePCreviews let's be honest, what shop is buying a $30k machine to cut monel or inconel. I'd be curious on accuracy and rigidity in SS, 704, 4130 4140PHT. Something a startup company is more inclined to see rather than an exotic material not every shop runs across
@@markpetovic2062 if they can cut monel with any kind of accuracy, it would probably cut stainless, 4140, A2, etc. just fine. That is the point of using monel as a test piece.
Lnc machines are 3 phase, the controller it self is single phase but all the drives are 3 phase, its a great suprise when your machine turns up and you then need to buy a phase converter because everyone keeps saying it’s a single phase controller
Mine runs on single phase. Do you have the big VFD for the spindle (Purple)? They put 2 sizes in the LNC. I think the LCN machines sold to Europe are normally 3 phase.
Hello! Great question! Keith Granno would have better insight. If you fill out this form, he will be in touch to answer any questions or concerns you may have. titansofcnc.com/pages/talk-to-keith
@@TITANSofCNC sorry didn't explain myself great. The newer x7 s may be better but the older ones the spindle ramp is slower than some expect. So when the z is all the way down and at 10 k it can take the full 16 seconds. This i believe was on Siemens which is longer because the ladder logic is not setup to allow the drum to rotate while machining so you cannot precall tools.
@LoneWolfPrecisionLLC I have a 2021 X7 with the Siemens 808d Advanced and 16t sidemount atc. It can't rotate the tool magazine while the machine is running. So my best case chip to chip tool change time is about 11 seconds and my work case is about 18 seconds. Even guys with the newer machines and the Syntec control are getting 10 second chip to chip tool changes. I love the machine. But it's got slow tool changes.
@@jamesfrancis9520 yep. I am hoping to get a syil in a few months (financing fell through or I'd have one now) so I've been lurking for quite a while. Think I recognize your name from the group
Hello. Does anybody knows if this controller can execute High speed machining codes? Is better a Fanuc controller perhaps for that? How does it compares with the Fanuc ? Thanks
Unfortunately, we don't have that arrangement at the moment 😅Have you or someone you know used Synergy before? We would love to hear your thoughts on the product!
@@BlaserSwisslubetube I do use it for the last 2 years in my robodrill. It's good stuff, only downsides are tapping is not it's strong suit and brass corrosion
Interesting 🧐. At this price..?! What sort of tolerance and repeatability can this machine hold? Actually hold; not what the papers claim I mean. Still could be worth looking into it I guess.
@@TITANSofCNC am waiting buddy 🙏🏻 as we run jobs requiring 0.0002” repeatability; only 2 brands machines in the shop can run those jobs without trouble. And those aren’t cheap brands 🫣. Am intrigued and will be waiting and sharing this video for sure. Thank you guys 🙏🏻
Hello, I have some questions about the machine with a Siemens control system. Are there any options that are not enabled in the control system? Is Shopmill included in the package? Is it correct that the programs cannot be larger than 3 MB ? Thanks for the answers in advance.
can you make pre-call tool, can you run hsm g-code, do you have a program to warm-up, have option for tsc , it's easy to plug and play with cobot? Nice work dont stop :)
Yes, yes, warm up programs are easy to write, hsk63 spindle has through spindle coolant. Don’t know about automation, they were rumored to have been working on something several years ago.
@@cskovach thanks, i dont know if it's the same macro to fanuc or not, yes Hsk have a lot a force grip to make secure to use high pressure tsc for small tool, sure for cobot the other option is use cobot to push cycle start , and wait for m30 signal to repeat, need to use with plc or with the remote control(robot if y have a lot a i/o), I don't know anything about it if i have I/o on the drive directly (sinumerik syntec or lnc controller) or add i/o board and add line to ladder to work, glass scale(double encoder axis)? double compensation pitch error? thermo compensation? Very nice compact machine, the controller need a good hmi , or have a good receipe, send, cycle start, next :P
@@cskovach yes, and as for the warm-up, for the ramping of the spindle, it could have an oscillation of speed and use m3 and m4 alternately to distribute the lubrication well. and as for the axes, it would be good to have a specific point at the end of the stroke, also make oscillations to ensure good lubrication and heating not just of linear movement but a kind of wave in the first 4 and last inch, the oscillation would put a force on the components which would allow a better distribution of the heating and ensure good lubrication in the ends, the lubrication is controlled by volumetric lubrication, but the ladder is directed by itself. a timer or a movement counter, it is obvious that the heating of the ends is important, because you can always lubricate compared to the others, the last point is the minimum distance so that the balls of the ball bearings are optimal, the ball recirculation outside the ball bearing does not have the same heating impact as that subject to the internal mechanical constraints of the ball bearing.
Main differences between different control systems are the max power of main motor and servo motors. LNC up to 3 kw main motor, Syntec 12 kw. One can find details at Syil main page
So my question is, Titan talks about bringing manufacturing back to the US, and yet they are pushing hard these Chinese machines. Quality machine or not, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
It's not in manufacturing the cnc machines themselves the big values are, that's small business in the big picture, and in the US it's a 'micro business'. When one talk about bringing manufacturing back to the US, it's about the products manufactured with the use of cnc machines, among else. The big value regarding a cnc machine, whatever brand, lays in the parts it can create, for years to come. By Americans. In America. A 30.000 USD machine vs potenstially make 1 million worth of parts. Titans wants to push machines that they feel are best value for money, to help more people being able getting started in the business.
When I first saw the machine I thought it better have quality sheet metal. The ways and ball screws are like whatever but the sheet metal…I actually like what Titans of CNC are doing but focusing on the sheet metal was funny and also maybe a little suspect. I hope it is a quality machine. There are so many budget machine tool options out there and it is so hard to tell what is good and what isn’t.
Is there enough room inside the machine to just cut off that lip at the tool changer to add longer tools? Would that work, or do you need that lip inside?
Hello! Great question! Keith Granno would have better insight. If you fill out this form, he will be in touch to answer any questions or concerns you may have. titansofcnc.com/pages/talk-to-keith
I would like to see a comparative in terms of precision with othe cnc manufactureres, i'm not a fan of "assembled" in chins due to pour quality control, there's for example an agie assembled in china and it's way worse than the one in Switzerland
Look forward to seeing it cut some parts. As an after thought you clearly where showing an X7, your title said starts under $30,000, don't start out already misleading people. Thats like showing a $100,000 pickup and saying starts at $25,000, yea for a KIA.
As someone who uses Haas on a daily basis (VF6 & ST15), for the tools they sell, you need that in-house financing.😅 I am happy I am not footing the bill.
Can you guys do a video on delivery. Do you guys deliver to the buyers house? Or do we need to hire someone to rigg the machine. Is the machine packaged inside a box? The reason why I ask is because I live in a Home association community and this machine would fit perfectly in my garage but I don't want to raise too much attention when the machine gets delivered.
They are not into logistics, but likely have partners within the field.There need to be someone with a forklift involved. One can find videos of delivery of X7 machines, among else, pre-Titan. Comes in a plywood box. There will be attention regarding a delivery and installation. One can possible do it early in the day, after some neighbours have gone to work. Would asked questions via Titan website contact form. The salesguy is usually quite quick to replay. He hardly have time for these comment fileds in the many vidoes
Pretty standard in machining. Even expensive machines like from DNS with the cool iHMI panel, there’s still the legacy fanuc side. It’s not pretty but it’s good
Hello guys, put that Haimer to [0] ZERO (8:50), .......... you'r 0.03 mm off even before you start. 😜 Well, nice machine, I want one for hobby at home.
It runs. But how does it hold up to production, daily tasks? Small bumps from the novice operators who buy this? Crash one let’s see how it handles rich boys
It still assembled in China. Why Can't you send the the parts here to America and have it assembled here, you know, create jobs here instead of in China.
The potential value created regarding assembling the machines themselves are peanuts compared to the potenital value created from the use of the machines
I’ve always had a dream of one day maybe just maybe of having my own shop I have ideas all the time while I’m at work of processes and other things that I think of ways to improve on but to be honest I think if your gonna have your own shop you should probably already have a product designed otherwise you have no use for it I guess I could always try and go the contract route but idk how well I would be able to do that but mark my words I will have my own shop one day ive also always wondered should I go lathe first or mill first idk beats me
Would advice to develop products first, prototypes, have a business plan, 'is there a demand out there large enough?, and at what is the market willing to pay?' before larger investments as own cnc's. To have something manufactured is not the bigger issue, but having the right products to manufacture, and being able to marked and sell. Good luck
Crazy how you decided to back a Chinese machine company while claiming to be bringing back mfg back to the usa. Change the channel name to sell outs of cnc maybe?
@@varmint243davev7if you're going to spend the money on a machine like this it doesn't make any sense to limit yourself to 3 hp with the single phase control. Might as well just buy a tormach at that point.
