No Faith In Machine

Hey Robert,

do you know that

  1. the stock stepper motor cables on both Elite and Original Series are not shielded (not usual on CNC machines in industry), and at same time

  2. a VFD is a heavy source of EMI so you have to take care…

    1. of the fact that a VFD is a device intended for installation in a grounded control cabinet (especially since on the Onefinity, the stepper motors cables are not shielded and a VFD is always a heavy source of EMI, which is why you put it into the control cabinet (that acts as faraday cage then))

    2. to select a suitable spindle power cable and to wire, shield and terminate the spindle cable correctly (for this, see also this important document)

    3. that your entire CNC setup is properly grounded (see also materials and tools needed for this)?
