LHR is constantly upgrading and making improvements to the CarveWright System to provide the best possible product for our customers. 

Below is a list of common issues and common causes of those issues addressed in the new version C.

• Quick Changer Fails – due to misplacement of the bits
• Bit wobble and run-out – due to failed QC
• Machine arriving un-aligned or damaged – due to shipping
• Flexshaft overheating or melting – due to heat buildup and lack of lubrication
• Electronic parts failing – due to vibration and stress of shipping
• Machine too loud – due to vibration and multiple part spindle
• X-drive gears un-aligned or broken – due to over loading the x-drive from too much head pressure or a board that gets wedged
• Brand new X- drive gears broke – due to improper or difficult installation
• Board not properly measured – due to loss of calibration or color of material

• CarveTight Spindle System – The CT replaces the QC and is made from a single piece of hardened steel which makes it stiffer, quieter, more robust, and less prone to vibration, heat build-up and run-out. Installation of a bit is not as easy as before with the QC, however it is harder to improperly install a bit. Click HERE for more information. THECARVETIGHT IS AVAILABLE AS AN UPGRADE TO EXISTING MACHINES.
• Base Reinforcement – Reinforcing ribs were added to the base molding. This is also to counter problems we have seen from shipping and tough duty use. The new base has undergone destructive testing to make sure that it is stiffer and less likely to break when tortured. IT IS NOT AVAILABLE AS AN UPGRADE TO EXISTING MACHINES
• Vertical Guide Rod Stabilizer Feet – This was added to reduce the frequency of a machine arriving with reduced performance due to the violent process of shipping. These feet significantly stiffen the structure to preserve the factory alignment and head pressure within proper limits. The new structural changes were tested by dropping the packaged machine from five feet on each side of the box and making sure that the head pressure remained within specification. Checking Head Pressure upon arrival is still a suggested practice. THESE ARE NOT AVAILABLE AS AN UPGRADE TO EXISTING MACHINES.
• Reinforced Strapping on Power Supply – A solid bracket has been added over the power supply to lessen mechanical stress on the electrical components due to shock loading from shipping and high frequency vibration during use. THESE ARE NOT CURRENLY AVAILABLE AS AN UPGRADE TO EXISTING MACHINES.
• Modified Board Tracking Sensor – The geometry of the wheel and the properties of the o-ring have been changed to improve the tracking ability of the sensor that follows along the bottom of the board. Software enhancements also improve the positional accuracy of the sensor. There is also a much simpler user calibration routine which allows the user to account for slight changes in the machine over time and variance in the color of the material you are using. THE MODIFIED BOARD TRACKING SENSOR IS AVAILABLE AS A STANDARD REPLACEMENT PART, BUT NOT NECESSARY IF YOUR MACHINE IS RUNNING CORRECTLY
• X-Drive Gear Train Plate – The independent two stage gear train has been replaced by a single gear plate with fixed shafts for the dual gears. This means that there is no more adjustment needed over time and that service is a snap. It also eliminates the problem of gears breaking due to incorrect alignment or incorrect assembly. THIS ITEM IS AVAILABLE AS A STANDARD REPLACEMENT PART, BUT NOT NECESSARY IF YOUR MACHINE IS RUNNING CORRECLTY
• Software and Firmware Improvements – The software is frequently being updated. See Change Log for details. THESE ARE AVAILABLE BY UPDATING YOUR DESIGNER SOFTWARE.
• Heavy Duty Traction Belts – NOTE: These traction belts are not a standard feature with the new Version C, but they are a highly suggested upgrade. They will reduce the likelihood of your belts tearing, because they are made out of a thick rubber material. Occasionally, the sand paper belts would roll towards the LCD panel. This is typically one of the first signs that your head pressure needs to be adjusted. While the rubber belts are guaranteed not to roll on up, you will still need to lubricate the four vertical posts to maintain correct head pressure. The belts also include the new o-ring that improves the tracking ability of the board sensor. THESE ARE AVAILABLE AS AN UPGRADE TO YOUR EXISTING MACHINE.
