Motor bearing aren't the problem and nether is burning up a motor. All VFD's only operate in V/F mode... that volts/hertz mode. This means the voltage going to the motor from the VFD decreases as the output frequency decreases. This also decrease motor torque by the square of the voltage. So motor torque takes a nose dive and at low rpm the motor simply stalls. Industrial quality VFD's have the option to operate in "vector mode" that prevents motor stall at low rpms. But now you are talking about a $1500, 3 hp drive.

The only way to operate at low speeds is use a pulley or gear reducer system to keep the motor rpm in the high ranges.

Haunyang drives are as about as low quality junk as you can get. None are UL or CE listed. They are watered down copycats of the old Toshiba G3 VFD's from the early 1980's except Haunyang uses sub quality components.

If you have a digital voltmeter remove the motor from the machine. Put one lead on the motor case and the other on the machine frame, VFD metal case or a grounded location. Turn on the motor and see if there is voltage. It should be zero. Any level of voltage leakage present from the motor case to ground indicates a partially grounded winding and could be the cause of your problems. Just so you know... a 3 phase motor will run with one partially ground winding. Unless the VFD has motor ground fault detection it will just keep working until it shorts out completely.

What type/name of VFD are you using? Another suggestion is reroute the e-stop wiring as far away from the VFD & motor cable as possible and see if that helps. Maybe it's something simple as a loose e-stop connection?

Sounds more like grounding to the outlet may not be a good ground path to earth. In some places depending on building code the neutral and ground is connected in the electrical panel and can cause ground loops. All cable shielding should only grounded on one end and connected to a ONE common point on the machine, then to a earth ground (water pipe or ground rod). If this is a Chinese VFD they are low quality and known to be very RF noisy... none meet UL or CE standards. There is a reason they are cheap because they lack the RF suppression found in higher quality drives. Make sure the VFD case is grounded.

Remove the electrical tape from the 2.2kw spindle motor mount. This does nothing except make the motor case ungrounded which is dangerous in the event a motor winding shorts to the case. Touching the motor and the machine frame, you can become the path to ground. Chinese spindle motors are not case grounded internally. The connector plug has 4 pins... only 3 are used for T1,T2 and T3. I grounded my 2.2kw motor case with the 4th pin and used 4 wire VFD shielded cable, then grounded to a common point on my machine. EMI filters only prevent electrical noise from feeding back into the mains from the VFD. Good to have but not going to fix your problem.  

I work on large VFD systems up to 1000hp... so I have allot of experience with chasing noise problems.

Mach4 General Discussion / Has ArtSoft Layed Off It's Programmers?
« on: December 28, 2015, 05:23:36 PM »
The is a posting on another CNC site stating that ArtSoft has layed off it's programmers? If this is true what is the future of Mach 4?

In larger servo drives this is typically caused by the gain being too high or the encoder not having (enough) feedback dampening.

I've never had much luck with "Pause" or "Resume" in M3 working right... seems temperamental. Maybe someone else can make suggestions. Best bet is check the wood warp and make depth (Z) corrections in whatever design program you are using or clamp the wood to the table to remove the warp.

SmoothStepper USB / Re: ess runaway on startup

Sounds like more a Mach 3 - Windows 7 problem than a ESS problem. What version of Mach 3 are you using? Warp 9 recommends Mach 3 ver 0.062 for ESS, not the latest 0.066 which has issues.

29
V.066 has known problems and should not be used. Warp 9 makers of ESS recommends using V0.62. Sounds like your XML is corrupt.

Mach 3 website---> Updates---> Software Downloads--->FTP---> Mach 3 folder. Then download V.062

I don't know why ArtSoft still list .066 on their website. It should be removed.
