fanuc ac spindle was created by jefsaro
I use linuxcnc for 10 years already, I retrofit my fanuc omate t milling machine with stepper motor and a kress spindle, I used the parallel port.
I buy a kit mesa 5i25 7i76 to make a new retrofit, I still have the original parts of the machine.
I would like to put the spindle , I have a motor spindle 3s following photo, I read that it could be connected to a vfd, it' s possible?
I also did a gear cutter and a mortiser with linuxcnc.
my job is traditional machining and cnc, I work on mazak and I had a milling machine cincinnati dart 750.
I make parts for old vehicles.
Thanks for your help .
sorry for my english
have a good day

Yes, you should be able to drive that Fanuc Spindle motor with a VFD since its a standard induction motor.

I would double check and make sure it is an induction motor. Many fanuc spindle motors were permanent magnet motors. You can drive either with vfd as long as it supports PM motors. Hitachi wj200 comes to mind. I have a 7.5 kw Fanuc motor on my Fadal with the Hitachi drive.

My guess is you have a pm Fanuc motor and they don't like running off a standard vfd . Are the inductances matched or reasonably close, as that will cause overheating. If you must have a closed velocity loop in the drive, you are probably stuck with the Fanuc drive. I haven't looked into it lately, but last I checked the vfd' that would run a pm motor didn't support encoder feedback. I used a WJ200 to run my Fanuc motor. You have to set it up as a pm motor and it has a whole extra set or parameters pertaining to the pm tuning. The induction voltage constant is one of the more important ones, if it is not set correct, the motor will have no torque and will over heat.
