Condor XC007 Who's got one?

[armpower]

Ok

Happy you have sorted.
Please as experienced user you are , in the next days of use you can post some info about
what condor is capable to do on various keys.
For now i've tried only fiat laser keys and tring decoding some other keys.
Enjoy and have a nice day

i will be putting it through its paces on back of van for the next few months , see how it copes in temperatures and frost and see how it copes with the rigours of being on van.

had a quick play tonight with a few simple ne73 , it decoded and cut spot on , the list of renault and peugeot doesnt include the va2/va6 1234QH5678 series or the aygo b series codes , so at present these are a no go .

plenty to test and plenty to report in the comming months .

Hallo.I've just talked with Condor support and i've told about Va2 key problem.
He told me that in the next upgrade will add this keys.

[rapidlocksmiths]

so far it is decoding and cutting fine with no issues to date , line up of key is essential on edge keys , it is simple to line up edge keys wrong , so concentration on lining up key in clamp is essential , it then cuts the perfect key, laser style keys seem spot on and simple to line up .

in a workshop enviroment it has performed well , its now on back of van and in cold , so far so good , but still early days and not the coldest weather yet , but so far no complaints , its performing well and is alot of machine for the money .

sx9 isnt working despite being listed , it appears in the list but isnt loaded , i await next update to see if fixed .

very smooth cutting and decoding , moves along the axis quietly and smoothly , motor is very quiet during cutting and during operation , so far all good.

Hallo.

To now, I've cutted some keys, mainly Fiat and some Toyota.For now works well.
I've told to support the problem about SX9 keys.The support guy was very helpful.This is the reply:
There are 2 types of SX9(5 bits and 4-5 bits). Now type1 is supported with X1, by insert a small metal sheet under key. Type2 is not supported now, because X1 can't fix the key in vertical direction(cutting 4 bits side). It is easy to modify software support type2, but how to fix key?
So it's mainly a clamp problem.
We will see in the future the improvements.

Hallo

I've take a new video about Condor.
In this video you can see Condor cutting a HU100 Opel key.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsIVZhHOcvE
Just some quick info.
I've to say the support team works well.
In a couple of day have fixed some small bug.
For example the cutting track of SIP22 key was larger than original key for about 1mm.
I've contacted the support and in about one hour have fixed the problem.
A couple of days ago VAC102,HU71P,HON70 keys were added.
For VA2 key question.Support team gave me this answer:
"The decode of PG33(va2) key is not supported, but cutting by code was added ,please input code and try"
So is in beta stage.
If you want to update your machine with latest or custom made firmware or have some request for bug fixing contact
the support man.He was very helpful.
Hope this help.
In the next days i'll add some more videos.

Cheers

Armpower... Who did u contact for support?

[armpower]

I've contacted this skype address

CONDOR_KEYMACHINE@hotmail.com

7 mins to cut the hu100 ?

[armpower]

About 7 minutes.
By the way i've choose this option to cut the key:
Cutting speed: medium
Cutter: 2,5 mm
Machine speed: medium
For cutting the key groove i've choose the two passes option.
So the Condor cut the groove side in two passes.
Maybe if i'll set the cutting speed option on high and cutting in one passes,
probably Condor will take half the time.

Cheers

The tibbe ford blade is supported ?

[armpower]

For now not.
Soon will be supported.
Support man told me they started to mass-produce the tibbe clamp.
So in the next weeks or maybe month the clamp and the support will be ready.
Hope this help

2 passes is wise especially if using chinese alloy blades , though ive kept machine on medium on one pass and its been performing well even on chinese blades , the NE73 decode can be out if not 100% precise when clamping the key .

so far its worked well on the back of the van in uk weathers .

sx9 they will have to develop a clamp , as despite being listed on the machine , it doesnt fit in the clamp at all , so for now theres no sx9 coverage despite being listed.

on the whole its well worth the money and works very well .

my only concern at present is if one goes wrong as shipping to and from china alone will make it expensive , this will ease when uk and euro distributors take it on , but of course that will increase the price to take in their profit , support and warranty .

but on the whole its a very very good machine for the money , its quiet in use , its robust and it works well .

i have sent them depth , space and key measurements for VA2 1234Q5678H series and aygo B code details , i have also sent them some other key details too.
