Crap chinese router problems

[Steel]

I then re leveled the bed and for the first part it came out great however then over the last 1/3 of the table the steps slowly came back but how! we re levelled the table again and exactly the same happened!


if it was the rails that were bent it should still be smooth even if not flat, how can one side be ok then go out on the other side it doesn't seam to make sense

Check your rails to see how strait they are and from the info i got the bed is made from pvc so it may be warped.

Cheers yes a lot of frustration, it shows its never worth going for the cheap China option.

I have spoken to the chap on CNC zone but not been able to sort it I'm now lead to believe that the vfd may already Maxed out.

Had more issues yesterday doing very odd stuff!

The bed is aluminum with a spoil board on top. The rails on the y axis are supported round rails, we havnt yet been able to measure them but what is odd is that if the rail were bent you would elect the table to be smooth and follow that curve rather than being smooth fort the first half and then havnt angled cuts for the second, sorry I forgot to take a picture of the fault will do so next time.

Many parts are cast, so thats why the holes are off centre.

These Chinese things need urgent controller change for sth better. As that is the very nest of problems on any machine, the unstable controller.

Spindles and VFd normally are Not a problem. Most VFDs have a Voltage input adjustment so it make regulating RPM very easy. All must be properly grounded also or you will never get stable RPMs

Obviously all should be properly aligned and centered as i wouldn't trust a cheap machine has that right. meanwhile Locktite on all possible parts so to avoid future problems.

Start with posting model of VFD here, i or others may help.

I would totally agree however its not my machine so hard to do to much. There is a lot I would do to it, add limit switches, replace the board and change to Mach 3 from nc studio, change the z axis and there are no barring blocks on the ball screw! Etc ect

How hard is it to change the board? at the moment I think it will only allow us to use nc studio so changing it would probably solve multiple problems I expect! but this sort of thing is not my strong point.

The pic of the motor mount plate is bellow not sure if it was cad or not but you can see how shocking the holes are and no its not the camera angle making it look worse it was that bad!

The vfd is hl3000-25-t I have a manual I was given I will add the link. A chap on cnc zone has been trying to help but no luck yet, I'm not sure its us doing something wrong or the setting at the moment we have tried all sorts.

I remember now, the other thread about the manual.

So now is MODBUS connected? Bahh, then thats the problem, combine shady BOB and connect it using Modbus and chinglish software and manual and....

For me is a no brainer. DDCSV1 controller for 150 euro, no Mach# or 4 PCs etc., connect to VFD , via analogue voltage control and voilaaaa.

[charlieuk]

yes its that one! sorry I'm not 100% sure eactly what Modbus is/does. I will try take a few more pics of the wiring when I'm next there.

[Boyan Silyavski]

Could that be that spindle is only controlled by the buttons? Then thats easy, i can look at manual and tell you the things that has to be changed from default to what values. But the Rj grey cable where it goes? The telephone like cable? Thats the Modbus. But in manual i dont see modbus control. Where goes that grey flat cable???

Don't start changing anything without knowing that it must be changed and that it solves the problems. It may however help if you'd install a trial version of Mach3 and run that as well. Are you using Modbus to set the set the spindle speed? Are you sure that VFD is a real Modbus capable VFD? Most cheap Chinese VFD are NOT real Modbus. The manual pages are just lousy scanned picture, not pdf, so you must read every word, can not search. It also seems incomplete because the communication is not described. So, if you run Modbus I would suggest to go back to basic digital control, in fact, start with manual control from the control panel. Take the next step when that works.
