Mach3-setup: [Spindle Setup] [PWM Control] setup for Maxnc CL
I am trying different PWM base frequencies to control my Spindle motor speed. my 1/2 hp and 1/5 hp spindle motors seem to react the same to different settings. I don't know what minimum PWM% does so I left it at 0%. I don't know what anything else changes so no changes were made. So far I have tried:
PWM Base freq
5 Hz motor surges from such low frequency
25 Hz motor not too shakey at low rpm - good speed control
30 Hz motor chirps like cricket at low rpms but ok- good speed control
50 Hz motor not very responsive to changing rpm setting but very smooth
any suggestions for fine tuning for best motor life and control would be appreciated.
Also any other settings that fine tune for maxnc would be appreciated.
