I have an update to this situation. Mulitcam sent out their guy who oversees all of the techs to check out the Apex 1. He discovered that one of the mounting plates for the gear box was manufactured backwards. Because this machine was under stress when it shouldn't have been it stretched out...
We are at the point where we have lost faith in our machine. They basically upgraded us to an apex 3 by swapping out a lot of our apex 1 parts with apex 3 parts and it still had issues. They slowed down our acceleration to as slow as it can go so now it's slower than our axyz but seems to have...
Does anyone have any experience with this company? We are looking into a channel letter bender/welder and I came across this company on YouTube. I'm impressed with the videos I've seen but just a little worried about buying a machine from a company I've never heard of and based out of china...
We use both Enroute and V-carve. We prefer V-carve but Enroute is the only software that allows us to do a print and cut with the camera. Do you have a multicam?
I see what you're saying it definitely has more of an abrupt/fast change of motion compared to the AXYZ. I still wonder about the noise and vibration though. It's so much louder than the AXYZ!
We've had a multicam apex 1 for about a year and a half now and have had many issues with it. The biggest issue we had was the cut quality. At random points in the cut there would be chatter (see photo). They couldn't figure out the issue for a really long time and I want to say they made three...
Actually I failed to mention that most of our sign cabs are indoors. I'm not sure about styrene outdoors my instincts say that it'll become brittle and possibly turn yellow. But I could be wrong it would definitely be a good experiment!
Yeah we do the exact same thing with the 3/4" clear. We put the vinyl on the back of the letters. We normally use translucent styrene to put behind if we need it.
We've never had any experience with printable translucent vinyl so I'm looking for some recommendations on what works good? We have a couple solvent, gel and uv printers available.
For Dibond I'd recommend a belin 22317 downcut bit at 24,000 rpm and 175in/min feed rate in the climb direction. I get very consistent results with these settings. I've never tried this on raw aluminum but I have used the belin 33635 on raw aluminum and it did great.
