Great advancement in your lab! One of my best engineering instructors, many decades ago, taught us to look out for errors in datasheets, even from big semiconductor companies. Good work spotting those errors in that documentation, and correcting them.

Nice build. One thing though, theoretically your E-Stop should be going to a contactor that kills power to the drives and VFD. Then to the controller to notify it of the estop. Controllers shouldn't be relied upon to do the right thing under EStop (Especially noname Chinese specials :) ).
@DarkArtGuitars3 жыл бұрын
Fair, there are in a way two kinds of e-stop. The way this one is wired, it's more like a feed hold, where I can simply resume the program after without having to rehome the machine or anything. This is convenient and gives an easy way without consequences to stop the machine if anything unexpected happens. What you're describing would be much more of a real emergency stop, cutting power to everything, but then there is also no way of easily resuming, as the controller has lost track of where the motors are. In a true emergency this is certainly better, but if I just want to quickly pause the program because it looks like it's going to run into a clamp, hitting that e-stop would be a bit overkill. Ideally there would be both, the feed hold one close to the controller and the other one somewhere else easily accessible on the machine.

Beware that a VFD emit very strong EMI that will interfere with the low voltage components and wires. The VFD should be as far as possible from the other components to mitigate that.

Nvem gave to some of my friend quite some trouble with homing cycle and other small operation. In case have a look at UC300ETH or similar for Mach3. They are more stable than ESS. If you wnat the metric version of that screenset with some more small features let me know.

Forgot to ask, did you had backlash issues due to the leadscrews? I had for a few weeks a sainsmart cnc, the bigger model and it had a horrible play.
@DarkArtGuitars2 жыл бұрын
They are using two nuts that you can tighten against each other to eliminate most backlash at the cost of slightly more friction. I have not had any issues in my testing and I think that properly adjusted there are other aspects of this machine that will be more inaccurate than any small amount of backlash there might still be.

That VFD is surprisingly noisy. The watercooled version is much quieter.
@DarkArtGuitars3 жыл бұрын
The VFD just has a noisy fan, but it's not too bad if the microphone isn't pointing at it. The spindle though does get quite loud at high rpm, which is certainly a downside of the air cooled model, but for me the convenience of not having to deal with water cooling outweighs the inconvenience of the noise, at least for now.

I haven't really had many issues with EMI. The shielding that I have connected just goes to the common ground of my electronics and motors, noting fancy.

Thanks for yet another really interesting video. I have a 1510 Killerbee on order, and will also be running Mach3, as I will be switching from my older Openbuilds Ox. How is the 2.2KW spindle working for you? Not too heavy? I have the 2.2 KW watercooled version, and are hoping it will be OK with the Killerbee.. Will definitely look into upgrading the old Parallellport setup I am running.. Not sure if i will go with the Novosun though..
@DarkArtGuitars2 жыл бұрын
I quite like my setup so far, but since you're going with one size up, I'd recommend a 1.5kw spindle (if you're buying a new one), as the machine will be inherently less rigid, so you won't be needing the extra power as rigidity will be the problem before lack of power.

@@Crite68 True, that is something I didn't consider but an important point. I mean the increased weight is not gonna make it flex too much more, so it doesn't really hurt to have more power, you just might not fully utilize it.

Hello, Why did you not choose the DDCS controller like the V3.1 or EXPERT which offer closes loop motor drivers controls. It's got High efficiency micro controller and FPGA inside. It's not PC dependant. Built in screen + handwheel. It's what I've chosen for my queenbee cnc. I'm about to receive it soon.
