Re: Spindle control

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

i read it all but it is for an air cooled spindle and the most important point relates only to air cooled fans etc. mine is water cooled so i don't have to worry about that aspect. i assume you run the cooling water all the time the machine is running even if the spindle is stopped.

i still need to know the best way to control the speed if i decide i want to. still don't know if mach3 will pwm the step or direction pin assigned to spindle in ports and pins if i choose pwm control in spindle setup. if so i just need to connect an FET driver to a voltage source to get what i need for the voltage following input of theVFD

still need to know if it is possible to have one spindle PWM controlled and the other one on/off without PWM control.

and you will then be completely au fait with all aspects of the VFD etc
