The only motors in use with two winding are single phase Induction motors with a capacitor, and they only go up to 2.2KW in Europe.
My guess is that it is a normal 3 phase motors, after all they exist since Nikola Tesla invented them.

for "Wye" or "Delta" connections for low and high speed operation
respectively.
You would need to retain that part if you replace the spindle drive
VFD.
One tricky thing is that the VFD would require different settings
for the different motor connections. Some smarter VFDs
may have this capability (profile switching) but I'm not sure.
Also of course you cannot change the wiring contactors when in operation
(unless you like buying new VFDs)

that could be reused even if you had to throw out the control
circuitry. I dont see any reason you could not use a standard
VFD and the contactor box to change the motor wiring.
The main issue is that the VFD setup parameters would be
different in Delta vs Wye connections. I wonder if these
parameters could be set via MODBUS?
Really need VFD expert here...
Edit: a little googling shows that some VFDs have this capability (multiple setups)
and can change setup based on digital inputs

i think i over think to much maybe , we need a inverter that can suport 2 motors , like overhead crane. The inverter must have 2 sets of parameters , and 2 outputs . For the input signal we can limit 0-5v one coil 5-10 second coil . Now the fun part is what brand of inverter can do this ?
Why two outputs? All you need is to be able to switch between two sets of parameters and then two contactors to choose the respective winding configuration. There are many VFD's that can switch between 2 different parameter settings. Often this has to be done through the RS485 interface.

can switch between based on digital inputs (or RS-485). Just need
to read some manuals...
