Al, you are awesome! I have a couple other small projects to work on first, but I wanted to get an idea of what's involved in this. I have a pretty good idea now. The clogged filter is just an...

Yeah- I really like when conductors are properly labeled. So- what are the components in the box? Can I connect directly to the motor and bypass them so that the 3phase output of the VFD...

Hi- Sorry for the delay in getting back on this. I was able to take a look today. Looks like the clogged filter alarm is a separate connection, not part of the three phase connection. So I took...

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm using a VFD only as a single phase to 3phase converter. So if I don't really care about the clogged filter thing I can just power the motor directly and use the VFD...

I picked up a 5hp dust collector for my CNC with a 3ph motor that connects to a power switch/controller. Looks like the controller shuts the motor down if a filter is clogged. I have a properly...

I have a 6' x 10' steel table CNC router that started life as a Shopbot PR but has been upgraded as follows:


4kw water cooled spindle and 220v vfd
Bishop Wisecarver rails and wheels
Strong...

I did some poking around- as I was tracing back the spindle wire, I noticed that it was zip tied right against the Z axis limit switch. (veterans will laugh here, recognizing the issue). When I...

My issue is this: When my vfd is on and spindle is running, and I click reset in Mach3, the X and Y axis (possible Z as well) lurch or jerk as much as a few inches. This makes my settings in...

Hi Gerry- when I move it down and its failing it makes noise that sounds like motor noise- like something is out of tune. But it could also be mechanical I can't quite tell. Low pitched grindy...

Thanks for the quick reply Andrew. I'll revisit the coupler and see if maybe its slipping. That's a good thing to double check for sure.

I'm having a real problem with my Z axis. It will travel up without issue, but intermittently will not move down. Here's what I've looked at so far:
1) connections - my molex connections appear...

Hello!

My issue is my axis loses steps, mostly on the Z axis, but also sometimes on Y. The Z axis will lift to move to another position, and loose its position, so that next time it lowers into...
