I put this on the wiki page as well, but I thought I'd make this request on-list as well. I'm looking for the following things:
1. Copies of ANSI, CENELEC, FM, IEC, ISO, OSHA, NFPA electrical and/or machine tool safety standards, European [Economic] Community Directives (EC or EEC), European Norms (EN), or any other standards, draft or published, of any age or origin relating to electrical controls and machine tools. The goal is to learn as much as possible about designing standards compliant machines and electrical controls. 2. Equipment or instruments to measure RFI, or practical information on the subject of accurately AND inexpensively measuring RFI emissions (both conducted and radiated) from electronic equipment with the goal of detecting (and ultimately reducing) RFI generated by machine tool controls, including VFDs and axis motor drives. I need to make my CNC designs acceptable in "real" industrial environments, not just in the US, but throughout the world. Also I've become rather committed to making my designs more resistant to the effects of external electrical interference and power line disturbances, while simultaneously minimizing the level of EMI and RFI my controls "leak" into the environment. Of particular interest to me are: UL508A (Industrial Control Panels) UL50 (Enclosures) IEC60947 (Low Voltage Switch Gear) EN418 (Emergency Stop Equipment) EC Machinery, Low Voltage and EMC Directives The first step is to fully examine the standards that cover machine tools and controls so that I can produce compliant designs. If you have any of this type of information, and are coming to the CNC Workshop, I'd love to see it!
