There should be fittings and a valve at the right-hand, back of the table.</p> <p>I think there are two:</p> <p>1) To control the amount of pressure.</p> <p>2) To control the speed at which it drops.</p> <p>It's been a while and I'm working from memory.</p> <p>I'll be around one of those machines, later today, but that won't do you any immediate good. <span class="e_confused" title=":S"><span class="e__">:S</span> </span></p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 27 Sep 2006 by DGL</p> <hr /><a name="a4950_8"></a><p><b>From: logojohn</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.8">#8</a>]<br /> 27 Sep 2006<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>That does look a lot like our old Dahlgren carriage but I don't think they made that big of a table. We retrofit one of them to a large table<br /> that Western Engraving made. Or it might even be a full table that I think Western made for awhile.<br /> We set the air pressure to 40-45 lbs on a much larger compressor than the tiny one we have for laser air assist. I doubt the little one we use for laser air assist would be strong enough. We pumped it from a central closet to 4 machines in different parts of the building since the big one made so much noise.</p> <p>That little black knob at the top adjusts the pressure further or maybe just the travel . . .its been a while. There is an allen screw in the knob that has to be loosened first before it will turn.</p> <p>The main adjusting knob on ours was silver and was by the back where the air line first connects. It releases air through that brass tube at the bottom at every cutter up so it will have to come on often to keep the pressure up.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 27 Sep 2006 by LOGOJOHN</p> <hr /><a name="a4950_9"></a><p><b>From: PenTrophy (PENINSULATROPHY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.9">#9</a>]<br /> 27 Sep 2006<br /><b>To: James (TILER02)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.6">#6</a>] 27 Sep 2006</p> <p>You will need at least 12-15 lbs of air pressure to make the spindle move up/down. need a ccompressor with a regulator that goes up to 30-40 lbs. </p> <p>You should hear a solinoid turning on and off while the job is running though..</p> <hr /><a name="a4950_10"></a><p><b>From: Gary (GNELSON)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.10">#10</a>]<br /> 27 Sep 2006<br /><b>To: James (TILER02)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.1">#1</a>] 28 Sep 2006</p> <p>James, I have that set up. # 006 and #199<br /> If you want to call me in the AM I can walk you through it.<br /> Gary<br /> AtoZ Engraving<br /> 847-526-7396</p><hr /><a name="a4950_11"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.11">#11</a>]<br /> 27 Sep 2006<br /><b>To: James (TILER02)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.1">#1</a>] 28 Sep 2006</p> James,<br /> <br /> Is the software for the system Xenetech?<br /> <br /> The table is clearly Dahlgren, or as L J says, a Western table. <hr /><a name="a4950_12"></a><p><b>From: James (TILER02)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.12">#12</a>]<br /> 28 Sep 2006<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.11">#11</a>] 28 Sep 2006</p> Yes the software is xenatech, I was able to contact the gentleman who had the machine, he is supposed to come over in a little while and show me what I need to know.<hr /><a name="a4950_13"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.13">#13</a>]<br /> 28 Sep 2006<br /><b>To: James (TILER02)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.12">#12</a>] Unread</p> James,<br /> <br /> Sounds like Gary will be able to get you up and running. <br /> <br /> I didn't know Xenetech had software for pneumatic equipment, which was the reason I asked. <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4950.1">1-5</a>  6-13</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
