I just finished my VFD enclosure. Just waiting for the VFD to arrive. I have provided some details below for your interest. I still need to decide on the communication cable I will use, and add the panel mount connector. I ended up getting my VFD cable from LAPP, and it uses 14 AWG for the power/G…

Very good. Tidy as ever. It will be interesting to see the tool changer in action. Have you thought about whether it is necessary to put a window in the door to the cabinet so that you can view VFD status and/or error warnings or are they displayed elsewhere?

I am excited to get up and running again as well. I am now focusing on my pneumatics enclosure, and waiting for my 8020 aluminum order. I appreciate the suggestion, and I definitely had considered a viewing window. Omron sells a Digital Operator (basically a cable connected control panel) but at ov…

Tom, I see the big braking resistor in there. I am guessing you will stop that spindle real quick like! How did you size it? Where did you source it? Curious about your cooling fan for the cabinet. Does it have an inlet filter? Thx, Alan

Thanks Andy, should have known to take a look in the VFD manual! This is an argument to buy a decent VFD to avoid the Chinglish and lack of technical data. I have just ordered a spindle and have a bit of time before it gets here. I am going to get a Hitachi WJ200 VFD in hand soon. I am apprecia…

The breaking resister was purchased from Digikey.ca - it was sized ‘electrically’ using the Omron manual (value for minimum resistance/resistance and power value of their recommended breaking resistor), as well as calculations I did based on videos I found explaining breaking resistor function and s…

Tom, I am excited too! Looking forward to seeing the updates.

Looks great. Do you have links to the Noise Filter and DIN mounted contactor you are using?

Apologies for the delay… [IMG_20231114_1933119] [IMG_20231114_1931513]
