What type of ramp down time do you use on your spindle?
Thanks
Re: Thor, or should that be Zeus?
5 seconds - without braking resistor
tested at 3 seconds with
but being kind to my spindle!

Not yet, looks like it arrived yesterday and cleared customs today. Might get it tomorrow I hope, else its next week, pity, would be nice to try it this weekend if possible.
Re: Thor, or should that be Zeus?
Cool
Will you be running it the traditional way or by modbus-
As the modbus instructions are none existent lol.
I have worked out how to do everything with it though

0-10v, no need for modbus.
Re: Thor, or should that be Zeus?
So, this was delivered this morning. Hopefully Ill have it running over the weekend. Looking forward to having a spindle that doesnt trip out when I stop it (current VFD struggles to stop the spindle, unless you use a very long ramp down time).

Received. Big box, poorly protected on the back. Alu frame mounts bent. 'Small' braking resistor.

Re: Thor, or should that be Zeus?
My word! What size motor are you braking with that monster??
My braking resistors are about 6" x 1" x 2" and never even get slightly warm, thats on a 3Hp Bridgeport mill :)

6.8KW 24K RPM Spindle. Works well, had some issues earlier but sorted now.
