And all wires will be in their own metal shielding, flexible conduit for safety and noise insulation.Ĭhanging the jumper did not work to give speed control with the pot in front. Right now I am just getting the subunits all together for function, an enclosed cabinet will be made to hold everything in. I was initially going to look for a headstock from lathe parts and use a treadmill motor but this spindle setup is massive and very strong compared to that. I am going to mount an X-Z table to the base. I wanted the motor, spindle and base only. I bought a pneumatically controlled lathe from Craigslist and stripped all the things off that I didn't want. I pushed the VFD close to the spindle to get it in the picture, it is not close and no wires are near getting caught. You will need to change some of those settings as they don't suit that motor what is the motor Rated Voltage To use the Pot just change this Jumper JI to 1-2 Position I think there is a problem with the VFD Drive as it should be working around 8 to 10 for that machineīecause you Don't have and can not fit a Breaking Resistor to your VFD Drive you have to let it do it own controlled stop or you will burn up the IGBT's coasting to a stop won't help, you still can't use the brake until it has almost stopped Nice feeling when something starts to work. What to change to give it control with the potentiometer on the panel?Īlso I noticed there is a setting to let the VFD allow it to coast to a stop and with me using a brake it would be better to go from coasting to brake and not have the brake interrupt a controlled stop. There was an error on start and it looked like it needed more time to spool up so I moved 14 and 15 from 15 to 25 and that worked.
