the coolant pump runs fine left it on practical all day so im happy with the way its running and the vfd on the lathe is great m well happy i did contact qualified elections to do the job and no one was interested i eventually got some one from a motor rewind place but there was to much money...
i was just wanting some advice on getting the light wired up to a plug just like a simple lamp
think i will need some sort of transformer but you lot will know better than me, and were to get it from.
The foot brake is mechanical as well as electrical when you push down on the brake it touches a contacter which turn the motor off then keep pushing the brake further down and it applies the brakes onto the spindle to bring it to a stop, this can and will be wired into the vfd other than this...
i would have if i known how but i dont tried to get this done but no one in hull was interested in doing the job, the good thing about using the vfd though s i now have infinite speeds to the lathe
tried getting local companies out to get this running from single phase with no joy no one wanted to touch it????
So i have got a vfd and control unit now running the motor, the coolant pump is 440 star cannot change it but i have ran a cap and it appears to be working the only other thing i...
Hi yes the light ran from the fuse box were there is a transformer everything on the lathe does not work but i got a new control box which stop starts slows down the machine perfect i will be getting the emergency foot brake wired into it
Hi i recently bought a metal lathe which was three phase i have today wired the lathes motor to a vfd as im only on single phase electric, the downside to this is i have lost all the lathes original electronics including the coolant pump (i have got this working) and the little work light.
The...
I have left it running for around 30mins and the temperature of the motor got to around 40degree no hotter so i think ill just leave it alone it never stopped, did slow down but i think it will work fine as is.
Yes the pump is star only so i was told wiring it like this would only give me half the power which should be fine but my concern was the way it was running or is this common doing this will it run like this or just burn out??
i thought it may be dipping in power because of the capacitor no big...
Hi i bought this and this runs great just got it working only down side is you loose all the original controls on the lathe but it all run on three phase and my house is only single.
putting a single phase motor on it would not of work because the electrics was all wire up for three phase
