I use one on my lathe which has an even bigger motor on the Z. I have had no problems whatsoever with the drive. It works very well.
You do need to build your own power supply. This can be fairly simple, just a large transformer feeding a rectifier and smoothing capacitors. At this power level you do need to pay some attention to power switching. I use a contactor to switch the transformer AC output to the rectifier. The contactor has an auxiliary N.O contact that switches a 100W discharge resistor across the capacitors when the contactor turns off. This discharges the capacitors quickly, making sure the machine stops quickly even if a drive fails. Les On 19/08/2011 01:40, [email protected] wrote: > I have looked at the mesa's.
