Dear Support,
I purchased an Oak ( ID 1028190864) control from you in 2020 and have almost completed my installation. A combination of factors including COVID have prolonged this effort unfortunately and I am hoping to get it done now so that I can put the machine into service.
What I started with is a Fryer Easy Turn 2000 lathe that I purchased not working from a local trade school. A basic tool room CNC lathe, three gear box speeds, no tool changer. Unknown to me when I purchased it the machine was an early prototype that the factory had donated to the trade school and nobody had gotten it to actually work. It's like a brand new 22 year old machine. It needed a control so I bought yours.
Your instructions have been very good. I got through most of the installation, mounting the control and monitor as I wanted it. I got both axis working, and even had the spindle inverter working sort of. The spindle kept tripping out. I took a close look and found that the factory installed inverter was rated for 5 hp and the spindle motor was 7 ½ hp! As I said, this machine was a failed factory experiment so what could I expect?
I contacted Marshall Wolf Automation and spoke to sales and they picked out an inverter for me, a Fuji Electric FRENIC-Ace. This took months to get, stalling the project. Because the inverter was single phase I needed a new power hookup, getting the proper cable and an electrician during COVID was another roadblock. Plus my guy working on it quit and left me without any notes to follow, so here I am.
I got the high voltage stuff, power, motor , hooked up ok. The connections to your Oak board have me befuddled so here I am.
What I need to hook up is:
OAK FUJI ( my guesses please check)
terminal block H2 term3
Analog in FM1
Analog com 11
Analog out FM2
Analog com 11
terminal block H11
Spin Dir NC FWD (TERM2)
Spin Dir NO REV (TERM2)
Spin Direction CM (TERM2)
Spindle enable Estop circuit
