I see it better now. It looks like you are heat treating a camshaft with that induction coil at the bottom of the pix, and that the big screw is between the two guide rails at the top of the pix. Unless the cam is being rotated as its being heated, that is the first one axis machine I have seen linuxcnc run. > I can't do a lot now because it's working.

It has problems when I'm moving it below 6 hz. With the inverter controlling the current if properly programmed, a std AC 4 pole motor is not going to have a lot of torque at 6hz. You may be able to increase the low speed current boost, but it will be a limited time as it accelerates before either iron saturation, or coil heating becomes excessive. Iron saturation may destroy the inverter rather instantly, and of coarse coil heating beyond its rating will cook them eventually. This looks to be mostly short run times except when raising to exchange to the next camshaft. That appears be 100% manual. What I am getting at is the duty cycle is low when doing its normal job. I presently have a 1hp on the table I'm playing with, to be used on the 11x36 Sheldon I just bought. With amprobe's on two phases, it is up to its FLA current rating at 20 hz, no load. Long time at that speed heats it some, but not excessively even though the fan isn't all that effective at 550 revs. But it will spin up to 120hz and probaby more quite happily. I just put fresh bearings in it so thats not a worry on whats left of my watch. :) Once I get this inverter figured out, I'll be able to reverse it a lot faster, something I'll need for rigid tapping. > There's also this video with crappy quality but you can see better how > it moves: > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv2Y9xEkwpI Not really. :) Cheers Leonardo, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
