I'm getting a Bridgeport M head to install on my Hardinge TM milling machine. The M head has a 3 phase motor. I would like to power it with 120V to the VFD. I have a Servo No 50 variable speed X axis power feed that is sensitive to VFD noise. I installed a VFD on the Hardinge 3/4 HP motor and it caused my Servo feed to not operate correctly (it is a Triac/Diac motor speed control that is sensitive to line noise). I fixed this by installing a filter between the VFD and the 240V line.
I added a power box on the mill by taking power off of one leg of the 240V-4 wire lead I have coming from the wall to the main mill motor. I am powering the X axis power feed from this box and will eventually power a DRO from it as well. I would also like to use this to power the M head/VFD.
Can someone recommend a VFD for this application? I need a VFD that produces little conducted noise and that can be set up for a potentiometer speed control, FWD/REV switch, ON/OFF, etc.
I was looking at these VFD's:
ESV371N01SXC | AC Tech |
Or:
FRN0003C2S-6U | Fuji Electric |
This is for a home hobby shop so price is a consideration.
Do you have a recommendation for a VFD that would work well?
