Hi, I'm currently using an Epilog Helix 24 45 watt Laser and a Roland EXG-300 rotary at my engraving shop. The laser is the main producer, but I use the rotary regularly for metal plates and metal goodies like knives... I have an opportunity to pick up a couple of Xenetech rotary machines, but I'm not sure where they'd fit with my current setup. The 9x12 would be equivalent to the Roland, but the guy says the little xenetech fritzes out now and then. The other is a 16x25 Xenetech, which would allow larger rotary jobs, but I seem to have read on SMC about issues with software and computer compatibility. I don't really have shop space for more computers, and would prefer to run all the engravers from a single terminal. I have Engravelab and Corel, both of which work fine for all my engravers.
I've been trying to switch all my clients up to laser products from rotary products, since it's faster and easier and gives more consistent results, but do hit certain roadblocks with surfaces that need the drag or rotary treatment. So I need to keep rotary available, just not sure how much I really need.
So I'd love to hear your opinions and experiences with Xenetech's rotaries and find out what I should know about their software. Thanks in advance~
