Re: Quality of huanyang and compatibility with various atc spindles

Technically there Is no such thing as a 'ATC' spindle, I have used regular motors with a ATC, but placing a VFD with encoder feedback for precise positioning, this is the way Mitsubishi does it.
I have also used Huanyang with a an old 4 pole motors on my pair of Excello's.
But it does pay to purchase a quality VFD, the Huanyang Modbus Mach plug-in is not standard modbus and will not work with other Modbus VFD's as already noted.
A while back I had quite a long discussion with Sebastien over the Huanyang version as I wrote one that used his plug in on a DC drive in order to control it the same way.
But for CNC work, you do need a Vector drive.
( ATC = Automatic Tool Changer?).
