Hi Hakan,
I just had a thought that may help you index your spindle. My VFD has a jog button, you can program it
turn the spindle very slowly. I've never used it. If you had an index switch on the spindle which operated
when the drive dogs lined up it might work.
1) Set an output to drive the jog terminal of your VFD
2) wait until the index switch activates
3) Reset the output
