General Mach Discussion / Newbie Advice on VFD conversion
« on: May 04, 2011, 07:52:37 PM »
Hi Everyone,
My first post so please excuse any ignorance.
I have a Chinese type mill that I wish to convert to 3 phase from single phase with VFD control for obvious reasons + I wish to increase the kw from standard 1.5 to 2.2.
After this I wish to do a CNC conversion controlled by MACH3.
My question is I have found this VFD unit on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180660166513&ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:AU:1123
and need to know if it could be controlled via MACH3. I have asked the supplier and he doesn't know much about MACH3 so was hoping someone here could look at the specs on the ebay listing here
http://www.fennecmachinery.com.au/SA...M%20manual.pdf
and let me know if they believe it suitable to be controlled by MACH3.
Don't know much about the electrical side of things but learning fast.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Michael
