Hi I am a total newbie and right now a little terrified. I am waiting for my Elite Foreman to be delivered. I decided to get an 80mm Spindle and VFD. I purchased a Vevor. Stupidly I thought this would be plug and play but it appears you need to have worked in NASA to get a spindle setup running. I…

Hey Owen, not in NASA, it’s not rocket science. It’s just electrical engineering and machinery engineering :slight_smile: Seriously I would only recommend to do this yourself if you have, or are ready to acquire, some relevant electrical knowledge. I suggest that you browse the forum for spindle , V…

Thank you, I want to learn and am not a complete novice with a soldering iron. I will do my research and ask lots of questions when appropriate.

Hey Owen, I think you have to know that the manual that accompany the cheap chinese VFDs are very lousy and not didactical. Usually people don’t really gather knowledge from these, so often they rely on youtube videos which say do this and do that, and set this to this value, but without explaining…

Hi I purchased a Vevor spindle and VFD. The VFD manual is the A2 Series. Here is a link to ver 1.78 of the manual. My paper copy is Ver 1.81. Link I am slowly getting to grips with the concepts and if I can will document my progress. I am still waiting for cables etc to arrive so I can bench test…

Hey Owen, [image] OwenH: The VFD manual is the A2 Series. Here is a link to ver 1.78 of the manual. My paper copy is Ver 1.81. Link thank you. The most simplistic VFD I’ve seen. Only V/f mode. And it has no serial interface for modbus communication. So you will have to rely on its analog v…

Hi Should I get another VFD, would that work with my spindle. Here is a picture of the specs on the spindle body. [IMG_7387]

Hey Owen, thanks for the picture of the spindle nameplate. Now you have parameters to set the VFD to know your spindle: Rated Voltage: 220 V Rated current: 8 A Magnetic poles: 2 $SPINDLE_NUMBER_OF_POLES = $VFD_FREQ × 2 × 60 / SPINDLE_RPM 400*2*60/24000 = 2 What about the VFDs nameplate? Th…

Hi I am in Europe so 220v is standard and single phase. Here is a picture of the plate on the VFD. If you think I am better buying a new VFD can you recommend one that will not break the bank. Thanks [IMG_7388]

Hey Owen, thanks for the photo of VFD nameplate. What it says is: The VFD can deliver 180-250 V 3-phase current with 15 A at its output, but the rated 10 A at its input is obviously the value for 3-phase input, which means, per phase. You have a VFD model that you can attach on single-phase or …

Hi Are you saying I must have a 3-phase outlet for my VFD? If so I will have to scrap it and get a single phase one. OI looked at Moron and the 2.2KW one appears to be 3-phase too. https://industrial.omron.eu/en/products/3G3MX2-A2022-E Apologies for the questions if they are stupid, but I am lear…

PS: I don’t have a photo of my VFD nameplate at hand, but here you can see on a 2.2 kW 230 V Hitachi S1 VFD for single phase input that its input current with one phase is 24/30 A, while its output current is 10/13 A on three phases (similar to your VFD).
