Spindle load meter

Post by JakesPorting »

Just watched the centroid all in one dc video and he mentioned about the spindle load meter.
My mill uses a teco fm50 inverter and was wondering if it is possible to make it work with my allinone dc.

If it is possible any help or documentation to help me would be appreciated.

Thanks , Jake

However, although your inverter appears to have an analog output, it may not provide any way to use that output as a load (current) meter instead of a speed (frequency) meter. You will have to investigate that, and perhaps switch to a more capable inverter if you really want a load meter.

Thank you I will look into this more and see if it will work.
