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.
