Spindle trip
Posted: Sat 26 Sep , 2020 20:33 pm
Hey everyone
So my novamill is now converted over to mach3 and working mostly well
I have a slight issue with the spindle however
When I set the rpm to something low like 450 I can turn it on and off to my hearts content - and also crank it up to 5000rpm as long as the spindle first started at a lower rpm
If I initially set the rpm to 5000 and then turn the spindle on it will start to move and then stop with the audible clicking of the relays. I then see the dwell and spindle buttons flash and I can’t re enable without power cycling the enclosure
I wonder if it’s a power draw issue?
My spindle is controlled over pwm from a parallel bob
And I’ve tuned it to be fairly accurate between software displayed rpm and actual real life rpm
Are there other settings I need to check?
Cheers
