    15l tormach lathe owner question ?

    Hi ,
    I'm looking for information on the motor of the lathe .
    the motor is a 3 hp working on 230 ac volt . the info i'm looking for is the Rpm of the motor and it number of phase , Is it 1 or 3 phases . Also how many pole ?
    Because I'm making a 4 axes for my pcnc 1100 and whant to know what was on the 15l , I want something with more torque that the rapidturn have , I think is a 1 hp motor .
    You can reply to my personnal email at [email protected]
    thanks
    Alain

    The 15L motor is a long belt-drive to the spindle & encoder. 3-phase, driven off an internal VFD. It does not have a brake, so doesn't do indexing and would seem like a poor fit for an 1100 4th.

    What use is the RPM of the motor if the belt drive isn't 1:1 (I'm pretty sure it isn't) and it's on a VFD for speed control anyway?
