Yep, most of these new improvements involve routing wires properly and writing configs and commands.
The "hard stuff", however, involved more of same. The whole project was not mechanically challenging, it was mostly about learning how to use various functions and connecting wires and cables. It was complicated, but required no big physical efforts or mechanical knowledge.
I agree.
Jon, practically speaking, how fast do you run your spindle when rigid tapping with small taps?
Say you are tapping with 10-32 taps, how fast would you run your spindle.
It should be a manual button, I think, I have not yet figured it out. I thought about it last night, all the delays etc, it was painful to think about. This is also a somewhat riskier function to debug (compared to, say, flood), because of how a brake may fight the VFD.
I have to look at the brake fuction more closely.
My current thinking about the brake is that the pneumatic system is already made, such that that the brake engages with a delay, but withdraws instantly. If so, then, the built in delay may be sufficient to let the VFD stop the spindle.
I recently put a brake resistor on the VFD, and can stop faster than I used to.
