I absolutely did get that manual, and will definitely be printing it out, as well as many other things regarding the Chinese router setup. I want hard copies of the manual from you and printouts of every mach3 setting page as they are now. Currently, I have tap water as coolant, will likely be switching it to a distilled water/antifreeze mix, unless you have a better suggestion? I belong to several CNC groups on Facebook and will go create a post to let anyone with a similar router know I have the solution to the spindle issue if they need it. Thanks!.....................BTW, I have seen lots of talk about something called a breakout board. Can you tell me what that is, and if I would have to have one?.........

Just wondering if you could once again offer me some help with this unit. I want to be sure I have the steps per done right, and since it seems you have the same machine I have, would you be willing to use the calculator from this page STEPS PER UNIT CALCULATOR and then send me a screen shot so that I would know exactly what are the correct settings to put into mach 3? Thanks for all the help you have already given to me!,.......oneusageek

Mach3 will know once you start inputting you measurements, there are videos on u-tube on how to do this and it is important to get it correct so you don't crash your move into the table or work piece. Check it out i hope this helps.

Wow, even with the videos on youtube, I think I can forget about being able to do this, but I did find one video that showed the guy using an auto-setter for the steps per inch on mach3, so I did that, and it seems to have done the trick. It is on the settings tab at the top of mach3, and then at the bottom of that page is a button to set the steps. I tried cutting a test piece, and it started ok, but before very long at all, the bit stopped turning while the x and y axes kept moving, so the bit snapped. I tried some more, but was careful to stay on top of the emergency stop button to avoid more snapped bits. Not sure why, I am thinking the speeds and feeds are not right. But at least I am getting closer :) BTW, that link should have given you a download of an excel file that when opened, is a steps per inch calculator. I'm just not wise enough to know what to put into it to get the right answers.

Hey keep posting its great to here where your going

P.s. what did you set your machine to run in, mm or inches? Because the screws are metric so the steps are metric also, mach3 does its own conversion to set steps to inches. But you still need to calibrate the movements using a dial indicator to verify, to need to hone in the movements the stepper calculator just gets you in the ball park to start.One other thing did you install your probe for your touch plate to zero in your z axis before you start your cut? That needs to happen also, ya gotta tell the machine where exactly where your work piece height is so it knows how far to drop from start of program, but still your spindle stopped in the middle of a cut and that shouldnt happen.
My router uses the parallel port connection, so I am afraid I can't even guess what the issue with your USB using unit may be. At this point, I am not going to know enough about Gcode to be able to read it, so I can't begin to know if there is an issue with what is being read by my router. At any rate, when I air cut with no bit, the spindle never stops moving (I am going to double check that, though by actually keeping my fingertips on the spindle instead of just watching it) I know when I set my project up in the software I use, the spindle speed was at I think 16,000. I lowered it to 1,000 because the engineer where I work said that it would be better to go slower, around 1 or 2 thousand. Did you ever have the estop working? I can post screenshots of my ports and pins settings, if you want. My machine is set to inches, but I may redo it to run in mm. I do not have a dial indicator, that is why I did not verify, but it does not help that I would not know how to do so in the first place. As for installing the probe, this could be an issue. I have no idea what you are talking about, other than that I did see a setting for a probe in the ports and pins config area. Are you referring to some sort of a physical thing that I would need to connect somewhere? I have no such thing. Please elaborate, as I was wondering how the spindle was supposed to know exactly where the top of the workpiece was located at. I took notice that my spindle does not drop straight down, it starts moving around, and as it moves along the x and y axes, it gets lower and lower until it makes contact with the wood and leaves a cut line behind it. Then it gets to a point where it plunges down a small bit, and then it starts to move again. This is where I better hit the estop or the bit will snap. Now I am thinking this probe business may be one of my main issues................

Again u-tube has alto lot of videos of exactly what I've been talking about try looking up installing a "touch plate or probe" on your cnc, probe is a term used in the movement of the spindle jogging it around your table and lowering the bit to the surface of the work piece to identify where it is sitting and how high off the table the work piece is so mach3 knows exactly where the work is going to be done with the code you loaded. And the touch plate calibrates the spindle drop prior to start of work and needs to be done everytime you start a job. It rezeros the z axis at the time you start your job.You ought too also look into the cutting speeds for different materials prior to setting your spindle speeds, if you set too low you will be stalling the spindle and causing excessive heat build up in the spindle motor and cause it to overheat or burn up the motor all together, even with coolant you'll burn the windings in the motor with hot spots.So this hobby is both dangerous and expensive. So do some homework you got it going now learn what it takes to not destroy it and your work piece. Know what the cutting speeds are don't ask your buddies at work, know it your gonna need it,look up speeds for aluminum, and plastics and pub boards carbon fiber and different woods also have different cutting speeds, or your gonna be buying lots of bits you'll be buying by the lot not by the box. LOL
Hope this helps

Well, CHIMERA1960, I have been watching tons of youtube videos, been reading, and have decided I am not going to be able to handle installing a touch plate. I found a guy from one of the Facebook CNC groups who knows his stuff, and was going to pay him to do it for me. While he was willing to do it, his bigger interest was in trying to mentor me on CNC, especially since, as he said, I was 98% of the way there already, and was just having trouble with a few things here and there. My final problem was that instead of the spindle plunging into the wood and beginning the cut, it would raise into the air, and air cut every single time. Bout drove me up the wall. Once I fixed that and learned to home the spindle, it works great! I do still want to learn of the different requirements for the different types of wood, because you made a good point in that the wrong speeds will likely be not good. It is a good thing I got it when I did, as I was frustrated and had arranged for a buyer to come get it on July 15 for $1300. I have now told him that I will hook him up with my seller and will tell him all I know about getting it up and running if he decides to get one. Here are some pics of my first project. Thanks for all your help, you were instrumental in my success!http://www.cnczone.com/forums/attach...d=367030&stc=1http://www.cnczone.com/forums/attach...d=367032&stc=1http://www.cnczone.com/forums/attach...d=367034&stc=1
Re: 6040 cnc PRT-E1500W vfd settings.
Hi, Have been following your PrT-e1500w posts with interest and have the same m/c and problems as most ,I reset all parameters as suggested O.K Would appreciate a copy of the mrmotion.dll for breakout brd if possible. step4 in instruction says to keep console e/stop but i could not work out how to do it any advise ? After setup I still cannot get any Axis to move (they do lock up) and No spindle movement although Mach3 seems to run program any ideas where i should be looking Sorry for the essay but I am a complete newcomer to all this . regards coldte
Re: 6040 cnc PRT-E1500W vfd settings.

Re: 6040 cnc PRT-E1500W vfd settings.
I bought the PRT-E1500W 110 Volt 4 axis 6040 these or the company installed settings , as of 2-17-2018 I have not yet tested the machine as (waiting on a parallel port (DB25) PCI card)
also this THE CNC BLOG site is about this same CNC 6040 except it is a 220 volt, lots of good pictures and setup steps also shows how he added end stop switches and touch plate
also attached manual and VFD manual (to save those new from searching) If anyone needs the CD ROM files that came with CNC just PM me

Re: 6040 cnc PRT-E1500W vfd settings.
Hello everybody.
Has anyone the settings for the PRT-E1500W VFD 6040 220 volts before he has done a reset? The settings from Carl would be nice but there are just 4 digits he displays. So which digit is infront of the zeros? I made a reset and set all the 400 hertz settings in this manual. Everything works fine, but i am asking myself if there are some longterm risks if some settings are not correct. Somebody can help? Sorry for my bad english, i am trying hard ^^

Re: 6040 cnc PRT-E1500W vfd settings.
I am getting closer thanks to this thread. I can manually start my spindle, but that is it. It runs up to 400.0 and I assume that is the 400hz I programed. Is there a way to set it as rpm? Also, still nothing from mach3 and no movement in my axis
Re: 6040 cnc PRT-E1500W vfd settings.
For those who are interested in these machines/controllers:
I found the manufacturer for this machine. It is Foshan Puruite Technology Co., LTD
They sell directly on 1688.com (chinese alibaba) and on made-in-china
The VFD they use is not in-house manufactured. They buy it wholesale from another place, Qishi Jianda Automation Electromechanical Equipment Factory and Jianda Electronic Sales.
I have tried contacting the sales reps for JD-Inverter/PRT-E1500W (the PRT is just custom branding that JD does)
They do not reply to me. Maybe someone else can get them to reveal more datasheets on their stuff. I will provide the chinese strings to search for in case you want to look for websites yourself, and contact info that was provided.
Here's all the websites I've seen these boards being sold on (just use search term JVFD-S5 or something like that):
hi1718.com, 1688.com, 114pifa.com (114 wholesale), machineryinfo.net, dcsz.com, zhongshan0153279.11467.com, zsjddz.com (might be main sales website)
Strings to use in search:
