Hi Petesos

Now that's something that i would have never considered of cutting on a CNC machine!!

Then thought - well of course they must use them to cut granite worktops etc -

I presume...

Swap any two of the UVW leads to reverse the spindle.

Thanks for reporting back - it's useful for anyone with similar problems.

Speed?, that's the next learning curve for you - depends on...

8 seconds is about the right amount of time to accelrate to 400hz. So if it's not working with 16s then it will only get worse.
What's causing it I've no idea and I can't read that manual very well...

Also the poles the poles 2 or 4, Just a thought. Need the manual

Did you set the VFD parameters to match your spindle ie: Voltage, current, freq, etc. If not this could be your problem as the defaults may not match your spindle.
I don't know this VFD and don't...

...okay...

I'll take a look tomorrow night. Hopefully you're getting no shocks off this - but without configuring the VFD I'm not surprised that you've got errors. Try having a look at the manual...

that's a "Nowforever A100 series" VFD just had a quick look but the one sight that mentions they had it was down. I have the D100 series. hope this helps (PS was still looking but apparently rare)

Entirely possible. My thoughts are varied but includes insulation breakdown or stray wire from phase pin on the connector to the spindle housing.

I'd pull it apart, but I wouldn't recommend others...

I think if that avenue is open, that would be an eminently sensible thing to do.

Explain the Error Code on the VFD and the shock experienced from touching the metalwork of the machine.

You...

i would just replace with the same as you have got now. go to somewhere like accu.co.uk they have lots of trapezoidal bar and nuts to go with them...

I will presume you know the machine type Jazz, and that your silk purse comment is warranted ,
But would it really be so hard to replace with Chinese Ball screws...

Fred is at BST automation on Aliexpress over in China. You are dealing directly so would need to be happy with how Aliexpress works, and create an account. Send him an email to make sure he can...

Many with ball screws also don't have end bearings as in BK type or angular contact. They are often just standard cheap n nasty deep grove bearings machined into the end plate with a very sloppy...

Pete, Mach3 isn't a post processor it's a motion control program. What you need is a Post processor file for Mach3 that works in uncam and processes the file in a format Mach3 can use.

When you...

The title comes from a regular feature of my model engineering club where members can show projects in progress or finished. I'm posting here because I made passing reference to one of my projects in...

I’ve just posted this in Think Broadband just in case anyone is interested and to get the word out.

Hello , this is my first post and I’m looking for some help.

Sorry to ramble on but sometimes...

Expensive learning curve I know but look at it that way & I am sure before to long it is up & running & making you some of that money back, try not to let it get you down to much, we all make...

this is to do with your steps setting. Goto to the settings headings ( alt6) and bottom left is a button for axis calibration. This is for setting the steps if you cannot calculate it. Just follow...
