Well hooked her up today and ran it, seems to be okay, sounded a bit different (smoother) but it could be the new space. The spindle felt lukewarm after the warm up routine but I wouldn't know if...
Dave, first let me thank you for your reply. I did have an electrician there (supplied by the landlord) that I was leery of, in my unit he gave me a a 12 /3 wire red, black, white and ground at the...

Frank the spindle wants 220 volts +or- 10% the VFD is asking for 230 volts we tested the the 2 legs and it is 210 volts. Is this good enough or do I need a transformer, also how much does one of...
Gary I have a HSD spindle and a Yaskawa VFD which came with my PRS. I ordered the single phase unit because at the time I was using the Bot in a garage with normal house current. The spindle is rated...

!!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED !!!!
I would like to thank everyone at ShopBot especially Ted for the help in getting my problem solved. I'm very happy to know that I have bought a product from a company...
Ted thanks for jumping in. I'd say that it is just the x axis and it occurs on both straight and diagonal moves, in jog and move mode. This situation has eaten up hours upon hours of my time and ...
Mike, I think you may have misunderstood me. The problem is only at SV's 5 and 6 while SV's of 7 and up are fine and 4 and down are fine. Also the noise does not happen the full length of the x rails...
Mike I have the black G202 drivers and for motors I have Orientals and for the number I'm not sure at the moment. I,ll guess and say A7421 943ktg??? And by the way Mike I appreciate you taking the...
By the way guys,I'm running a Standard not an Alfa at 120v and a spindle at 220v. Brady I have run the test and the result is over 80% as stated in my original post, but if you think that this is...
I just got a new PRS Standard about 5 weeks ago. I am having a problem that I am hoping someone here can help me with. I have explored pretty much anywhere that a problem might occur and I can tell...
