I've thumbed through the Centroid installation manual (I did not to do the conversion). Can some one point me in the direction of where I can find info on Tuning Spindle Speed as referenced at parameter D2-02 above? D2-02 in my VFD is currently 0% I am still having Torque problems and it is worse no...

I just got done setting up my a1000 vfd to control a 10hp router spindle so I have a few learnings. 1. The drive wizard software is available for free once you register on the website and it makes it very easy to set up. 2. A1000 hooks to pc via eithernet 3. enter the basic motor parameters then ch...

Thanks!

I have a V1000 on a 5hp spindle motor on my work mill. I have no problems with low end torque driving both a 4" insert face mill or a 1/2-13 tap at 640 rpm into 17-4PH. Something is wrong with your VFD setup or your motor. I'll post the parameters I changed in the VFD when I return to work on ...

There is nothing in the Centroid CNC11 or CNC12 software on the PC that will affect spindle torque. There is Yaskawa software, called DriveWizard Industrial, which you can run on a PC and which will connect to the VFD through a serial or USB cable. This lets you set parameters on the VFD without ha...

I have been running this machine for about a year. I pretty immediately noticed I have to be very conservative with roughing passes even in aluminum and brass or I will stall the spindle. Tapping is even worse even with smaller taps like 5/16-18 (in alum and brass, forget stainless). I bought this m...

Oh and I guess the question is Remote access over IP with a windows 10 machine. Since it is possible using the T400. Cheers!

I thought that may be the case. Thanks a million for working through that with me. There is an 84 Mori SL3H that has come up for sale that may be better suited to a conversion down the road. During all of this a few things have come to me. Remote rig (ham radio) operation is becoming very common the...

Your google links don't work. Likely because you copied the URL from the address bar. To share a google album, you click on the three dots with two lines between them triangularly, it is the SHARE link Then click create link. THEN use that link to paste into the message.

As for the spindle drive that is one of the reasons I may consider not converting. I'd like to either replace the spindle drive or have a plan for replacement before the factory unit fails. I thought this would be the smartest place to sort that out. It may not be wise to convert or cost effective i...
