Thanks you all for your help and as ever very rapid responses!
After a fair bit of searching. I have the following data.
TL1
Power 7.5HP
Torque 100ft-lb @375RPM
TL2
Power 12HP
Torque 150ft-lb @150RPM
TL1
Power 7.5HP
Torque 204ft-lb @417RPM
Are these figures MAX torque, continuous? Or could this be doubled (200% for 5 mins?)
There is an option on the TL1 for an upgraded motor. I am trying to get the numbers of this from Haas.
I am not sure exactly how a Vector Drive Motor works, but in the case of the TM1.
If the Max Torque is 100ft-lbs at 375 RPM, You should be getting almost max power at this speed (7.5HP).
If we assume that this system in linear, then at 200RPM you get 100ft-lbs torque but only (7.5/375*200) 4HP available.
If we go for 100 RPM the there is 2HP available?
It looks like this is not enough power at lower RPM’s to cut 8inch Steels or Stainless.
If you increase the RPM you would increase the power available, but in my mind the surface cutting speed would be too high at 8 inch diameter.
Geof, its good to know that 8inch Aluminum can be cut. Thanks
Do you think that it would be possible to machine an EN25 Flywheel? 300mm diameter?
Thanks for you help, in advance, I take note of the responses and will post any findings on the motor upgrade for the TL-1.
Thanks again
