Hi everyone. Another CNC rookie. Have a Woodworker on order, and a 2.2kw spindle from Jianken to go with it, so pretty excited to learn on it. First dip in to the CNC world (and first post on the forum). On to the VFD. I’d like to go with Huanyang because I know very little about electronics and it…

Hi @Tas I bought a Jianken 2.2kw water cooled straight from the Chinese manufacturer. Seems like a quality spindle and has worked well for the short time I’ve had it, but I’ve been since told the 2.2kw rating may be “iffy” based on the amps, so I’m not sure I could recommend it or not. I’ll have to …

Hey Martin, [image] MVall: Hi @Tas I bought a Jianken 2.2kw water cooled straight from the Chinese manufacturer. which model did you choose? [image] MVall: but I’ve been since told the 2.2kw rating may be “iffy” based on the amps What do you mean exactly by this?

Hi @CommunityUser5 It’s a JGD-80/2.2R24. It’s rated at 6A and Jianken told me to set VFD to 6A, which apparently is low for a 2.2kw spindle. They gave me the following explanation for their power rating: Power=volt * current * √3. However, they also said overcurrent could go up to 9A. As I mentio…

Thanks Martin, My budget has been hammered by the 1FX50JM, QCW, exchange rates, and shipping, so don’t have heaps to spare for Mecha et all. I don’t mind putting things together and experimenting a hit, so may look to the Chinese versions initially. Awesome that this great community exists and see…

Sure thing. I’ve been helped enormously by the forum, so any little bit I can pass on I’m happy to do that. I’m with you - even though they look like great products, I couldn’t justify the price of the Mechatron, CNC Depot, etc level spindles for my hobby use, but you never know down the road. Takin…

It’s the VFD to 1F Controller bit that is missing, though of all the cables that should be relatively easy to put together, so might be worth pursuing. For the local option, I still need to try and find out what brand the spindle and VFD are, since their pictures aren’t very detailed.

Looks like a pretty complete solution! Nice to find something that fits your local electrical requirements. Not seeing any documentation for the spindle or inverter/VFD, but I might have missed it. You’d want to confirm the VFD is compatible with the OF controller or, if not, you or someone else ca…

Hello @CommunityUser5 Thanks for general thoroughness and clarity in your responses. I had some suspicions about the power calculations, but this is the first time I’ve seen the explanation behind it. A nice marketing technique on their part to use a type of “theoretical” power rating, I suppose, r…

For completeness, especially for any Australian users looking for a locally supplied Spindle and VFD, the Timbecon supplied “Sherwood” one above is actually Huanyang, with the following part numbers: Spindle: GDZ-8Q-2.2F VFD: HY02D223B VFD Manual: here So it looks like all the support in these F…

Anyone using Huanyang GT series VFD?

I have not had the opportunity yet! Most of my things are packed because we are (still) preparing for a move. You could ask Alan @Alphonse which has the same spindle model and uses it at the moment
