Spindle speed
« on: July 04, 2008, 10:34:55 AM »
     My spindle motor is the maximum speed of 3,500 and the minimum was 200,
PWM control methods used, they were the corresponding duty cycle
90% and 10%, how to set up £¿£¿
     If I set a maximum speed of 3500, the minimum requirements for the duty ratio of 10%,
That the minimum speed so that I will become a 350, please help!
Thank you! !

Yes - the minimum duty cycle will only go down to 10%.

How important is the low speed - bacause at 10% duty cycle your torque will be very small - on my lathe anything below 50% is in danger of stalling - even with a 2HP motor in place of the 1HP motor.

I cannot think - and I am sure someone will tell me - where the difference between 200 and 350 would spoil a job.

To properly run a spindle over such a wide range of speeds, and have a reasonable even torque over the whole range, you really need to introduce some pulleys in the system, unless your motor system is well regulated.

My sense is that this will make my G code with the operating speed of the machine itself does not match,
Is not to say that the speed difference between how serious¡£

The spindle speed will not affecr Mach 3. I do not think the difference between 200 and 350 will matter. The thing that matters is the top speed - i.e. 3500.

How is you spindle motor controlled now. Does it need an input voltage to control it from the computer?? You may need a Digispeed PWM to Voltage converter.
