Hi there everyone,
my buddy and I have started doing trial winds for our composite-overwrapped pressure vessel with 3D printed mandrels, just to get the hang of the machine.
BUT we are having problems - does anyone know a fix to these?
1) The DH rotary or the DH linear motor do not respond to software inputs and don't move sometimes (not even when when winding - sometimes even when we just say "go home"). At times, everything will work fine and then…
Hi there,
I have just purchased a 4X-23 for a student project, ARIS Space, at ETH Zürich. I have a question regarding the X-Winder Designer Software. Our (me and my teams') aim is to manufacture a filament-wound composite-overwrapped pressure vessel with two polar openings.
When generating winding patterns and visualizing them in the Designer Software, there is always at least one path which strikes across the polar opening, as in the following image: …
Dear all,
Could you please guide me, How can I use 4X-34 filament winder for 3-Axis mode (as shown in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAy-nWMypvk) using new version software 4.22.
Because in the software, we have only 2X and 4X option there is no 3axis option. Suggestion in this regards will be highly appreciated
Dear all,
I am attempting to run a 4-Axis hemi-spherical dome wind and have encountered an issue with the retraction of the delivery head (Y-axis…
Hi, I am looking to purchase the 4X-23 filament winder.However adding the item to my cart and estimating shipping and tax, it shows a $345 charge for tax. Is this a charge for sales tax? If so, I am in a state which does not have sales tax so this charge should not be there. What is this additional tax charge for? Thanks
Read more…Hello everyone,I tried the newest version 4.21 of the software on my 4x-23 machine but I have some issues :When I order home or build from the designer software, the setup wizard window appears, then I set up every parameters (assigned boards, motors amperage etc...) and once it's done the X-winder executor window is here but nothing happens. During that period hissing can be heard from the stepper motors and those of the DH become very hot, I assume they receive a too high amperage.Does anyone…
Read more…Hallo,I saw a latest video, where a hand editing of G-Code is shown. I want to ask you, how I have to do it?I can edit it only in NotePad, but it is .txt format. XWinder works with .x2d format.Thanks
Read more…Hi all.We have a 4X-23 X-Winder. At step 4 of the Setup wizard, we have the issue that the carriage don't move towards the limit switch after pressing the button "Go to the limit switch". Without this calibration the values of the z axis aren't correct. By manual moving the carriage (z axis) left means moving away from the limit switch, right is towards the limit switch. I think this is the way the carraige should move. Do anyone has an idea to solve this problem?Furthermore, there is no…
