The power saw VFD doesn't really change speed much and does not really require setting.
The power saw VFD doesn't really need settings changing for normal operation.


The CNC Mill however does require variable speeds and remote settings, which are achieved with the VFD.
The CNC Mill controller interfaces with the CNC Mill VFD through PWM (0-10v) to adjust things like spindle speed, and direction.

VFD

The space currently has 2 Variable Frequency Drives; these magic boxes provide 3 phase AC power to 3 phase motors from the single phase mains of the space.

Machines that use a VFD

  • The power saw has a HYOD
  • The CNC Mill has a newer HYOD.

VFD Control

The power saw VFD doesn't really need settings changing for normal operation.

The CNC Mill controller interfaces with the CNC Mill VFD through PWM (0-10v) to adjust things like spindle speed, and direction.
