To anyone visiting this to adjust absolute encoders. Whilst yea this would work for a rotary axis such as the A axis. There is a bit more involved in linear axis. Usually you installation manual will show you where your home position is. If you lose either the X Y or Z axis and need to reset them. You need to ensure you are in the right position before doing so. For Z-Axis it's usually a height/distance from the table to spindle nose. This is very important as it will also control your tool change position. Setting it to high or to low will result in tool changer crashes into the spindle X&Y axis you can find by using a dial, finding the centre of the table and moving a specified distance from there to the home position.
Always happy to help. I've seen my fair share of places think that they just need to press the set button and all is well. Then they try and tool change and it doesnt go so well after that.
@@killerfungis A- Axis is rotary so home position is not super important. You can set it anywhere. Most commonly you would set it with a table slot parallel with the Z-axis or with a chuck jaw parallel with Z
It's November 2023 and I needed this information as a service technician. Thanks for sharing this information and not wasting time, just straight to the answer.
You saved my But Sir. My cnc sheet router suddenly had the same error, and I was lucky to see your video. I have not solved the root cause of the problem, but I set the A axis each time I start the machine and can work again. Thank you so much.
Thankyou for all your videos! I've purchased a TAICNC T6V cnc machining centre, similar to your X7. I went with the TAICNC as it was a bigger machine for the same money, but still uses high end components. My machine also has the Syntec 22ma controller, but my screen is the smaller version than yours. I appreciate your videos, especially the ones on the controller, as I've not used it yet, but I've used Okuma, Fanuc Mori Seiki etc. Cheers for the vids!! Much appreciated!!!
@@comiccomedy2404 hey there, the T6V has been excellent, lead screw backlash in all axis has been within 15 to 20 microns. Build quality is excellent and the Syntec 22ma controller with using Fusion 360 and the Syntec post processor has been problem free. The only issue the machine had was the spindle coolant level sensor in the air-conditioner was out of adjustment and I sorted that. 21 tool holder rotary umbrella changer fast and excellent. Does reduce the Z axis stroke, but not an issue for me. The tool holders have to be loaded manually on it's right side and there is no tool holder changer button to load the spindle manually, which was the only let down, but not a big issue at all. I've used Mori Seiki, Okuma cnc machines in the past and the build quality is every bit the same. Spindle speed is 20k rpm and is bt30. Traditional cast iron frame and column. Lighting inside is good, 2x cooland nozzles, 1x air blast, 3 either side chip troff sprays. Good machine and I chose it for the greater x y axis over Syil and slightly better value for money. The Syntec controller is a slightly lower spec model than the one used in this video, but is not relevant. I recommend the company and the machine.
@@comiccomedy2404 I bought directly from Taicnc and organised my own shipping agent. Zhouyang was the sales person I dealt with on WhatsApp and was very easy to deal with. He said they were around the 3rd largest cnc supplier to China. You'll also notice that the T6v is very similar to a Fanuc Robodrill, and you also have options for controllers, including Fanuc and Seimens, but the Syntec controller is very much like Fanuc anyway.

Thank you Mitchell...I pinned this comment. I did this with the help of Syntec America.

Sorry, how did you obtain the value for A? ( I will have to add this after machine arrives)

Jay, this is the in the weeds type of information that really helps others and I find totally useful.

You may need to change the battery that is located on the encoder cable

Rigid tapping is ok?
How do you feel with the syntec cnc?
Can you do some videos tutorial about simple procedures (workpiece offset, tool offset, simple program)?
Thanks
please help me regarding this alarm. thanks (coordinate 2 the 1 nc program 1: O0031 file not found)
Hi,,hello we have same controller like this,how to setting home position for x,y, z,a,b Axis,tanks
thanks!!! You cool)
