to an who have interest
I converted my mill to VFD
from
www.dealerselectric.com I got
fm100-100-202-n1
2hp 1800rmp G585 motor (240/460 in(SF 1.15)
other things needed
new Pulley mine 5.3" / new 20amp circuit / service dissconnect 30a with 15a fuses
at least #12 form the service disconnect, at least #14 from controller to motor (these are only as a reference---
see an electrictican
sheiled wire form the controller to your old pushbuttons
the biggest
killers of VFD's are oil and dust build up
the FM100 does not derate the motor
Henry at dealers can help with base settings and help you pick out the right motor and controller combo
Steve and Bill from teco are VERY helpfull
after a bunch of settings I can now put in the RPM I want and the spindle spins to the correct RPM about 200-3250
It will go higher but shoptask says 4k max
software for this unit comes with the rs-232 kit (dos)
there is a 7200 model that had windows real time sotware rS485 only
I opted to the remote panel kit (3 meter) this lets you relocate the op panel from the controller
be ready to drill a couple of new holes for the motor
I put the motor in about the same place
I ran 1 belt from motor to Idler to drive pulley
the shoptaks Is
Very quite with the 3 Phase motor,
running 3250 is still more quite the the stock motor setup at any speed
next will be a external emergency stop
hope this will be of interest to some
prices motor and controller $425.00 remote kit $80.00, steel pulley $50.00
