CNC Spindle choice and supply options - 2.2 kw water cooled spindle and VFD

[dogboy]

I have had the same 2.2kw matched VFD from CNC4YOU and find it works well no problems it all worked as they say out of the box.

Dean never got back to me for the order.

Ah, that sounds good, I have been longing for reviews or someone who actually bought these from CNC4YOU, but reviews / opinions etc about them seem hard to find, good or bad.

I don't have a problem with CNC4YOU and when I have spoken to them about this they seem to be very knowledgeable and very helpful, I just want to make sure its the right choice for my hard earned cash at £500 for the spindle / VFD and mount. I would have like a branded spindle / VFD (better know brand), and also like the offerings from Mechatron but of course these would cost a lot more than £500. looking on Amazon / eBay and the like the "same" setup can be purchased for far less but what are you really getting?

I have spent a small fortune on the rest of the build over a few years, spending the far too much on drivers, motors, ball screws, controller and the like so really want to make sure that I can get the best spindle for the money.I do of course understand that at that price these are not high end brand units but hopefully will be all I need.

Thanks for your replies.

When and where did you contact me because I've just checked back thru my emails both personal and business and have not had any from you. Did you use PM or email thru the forum system if so then I don't always receive them and have had several people try to contact me this way and failed? The best way is to use the email in my signature or go thru the website directly.

I always try to reply to emails, not always straight away, but I do reply so if I don't then there's usually a reason like I've not received it or it's got caught in the spam filter which on occasion odd email can slip thru and be deleted.

Hi Phill, Sorry I didn't check back that far, your first email about these was actually in May 2021. Now I've found you and replied to the email you just sent me explaining that I did reply, which from all my previous replies hopefully you can believe Is true, but for some reason, it appears like it didn't leave.
Anyway, the email explains more and a little discount on any future order for the trouble.

CNC4YOU say that the motor and VFD come direct from the actual manufacturer and and are fully tested, matched and setup ready to go and have been very well specified by them.

Ermmm not so sure about that.? That spindle doesn't look like a Huanyang spindle to me as it doesn't have the laser-etched Logo etc which Huanyang spindles have.

If you look at the pictures on our site which Clive S linked to you will see the markings I'm talking about. Our spindle and VFD are made and bought directly from Huanyang which is clear to see. I have fit literally 100's of these on machines we build so they are very well-proven.

I bought my VFD/spindle from CNC4YOU maybe 8-9 years ago and it's now fitted to its second router. Ran fine straight out of the box although I ended up making one minor configuration change to the VFD. It was something like being set to 4-pole and it was 2-pole motor (or vice versa). Made no difference to how it worked but the speed display was out by a factor of 2. I expect they've fixed that by now!

At that time, Chinese eBay suppliers were a bit more of an unknown quantity so I paid a bit more for a UK supplier. It's different now, but given how it's lasted I can't say I'm unhappy.

I shall soon be offering for sale a 2.2KW spindle, Mount, VFD (Huanyang), spindle power cable, water cooling kit (pump 12 and 24v available), header tank and radiator (120mm) and 12 or 24v fan and tubing. There is also a kit of ER20 collets (Metric and Imperial) in a wood and brass case.

I also have a CSMIO IP/S and a second hand 3A 24v DIN rail power supply. There is also a selection of electrical items, DIN rails, DIN rail terminals, a PILZ relay, 4, 60v power supplies, 4 drivers and 4 Nema34 14mm shaft steppers. (These are on my mezzanine storage and I am unable to climb stairs now)

I also have rails, linear bearings, Ball screws and ball nuts of varying lengths (900 and 600) I believe.

Most of these items are boxed and unused.

Due to illness, I am unlikely ever use them and so am selling them.

In my garage I have Steel box section including (100x50x5 and 50x50x3) with the longest lengths being 1100mm, other steel sections and bars etc.

If anyone would like to open a discussion on these items, please PM me and we can continue by text or on Whatsapp when we have swapped mobile numbers.

Cheers,
