Can you control the VFD from mach3?
Yes, you can control the VFD using the a relay.� You will need to connect the relay output (NO) to the forward terminal of the VFD and the gnd terminal.� You will need to look at the diagram for your VFD to determine which gnd to use in the set of terminals that is associated with the forward terminal.� The forward terminal may be called something else, but the manual will tell you (something like X1, or D1, etc.) You will also need to change a parameter in the VFD to use the external�terminals as opposed to the control from the control�panel.

Are there any other manuals for the VFD that comes with the 2.2kw spindle?
We have manuals for the VFD rather than the spindles. Can you specify what issue you may be having so we can help you better? Additional Information: I am having trouble wiring the VFD. (From the wall outlet to the VFD) I think the manual or setup guide on your website is wrong. The two diagrams show two different sets of terminals on the page. Also, do you have a video or other documentation on programming the VFD? Your videos and documentation looks like it only covers the 1.2kw version. Are the two different spindles from different manufacturers?

Are there any special instructions regarding connecting water lines to the 2.2k spindle?
There is no specific manner in connecting the water lines to the spindle. No specific output and input locations, only the diameter which we use is 1/4 Inside Diameter and 3/8 Outside Diameter (you might find another one that works just as well). Unscrew the 2 hose nuts and feed the tube through (will be snug), and adjust the tube on the hose fittings and screw the hose nuts down. Feed the tubes through your machine towards the water bucket, making sure it will not get caught on any moving parts and cause a jam/leak, and fit one tube to the outlet of your water pump and leave the other tube to the bucket as a return line. (unless you are using a cooler like a radiator, then feed it to the outlet of the radiator and to your water pump)

I bought a 2.2 Kw spindle and YL620 A-2 from you and am getting an ER 4 message. How do I fix it?
If the VFD is presenting an ER 4 error, the VFD is most likely damaged. The VFD will either need to be serviced or you will need to purchase another VFD. The latter is probably the less expensive option, unfortunately. Additional Information: Additional Information: i had that error and found a power in wire touching and fixed and started and all was good. good luck Additional Information: i had that error and found a power in wire touching and fixed and started and all was good. good luck Additional Information: i had that error and found a power in wire touching and fixed and started and all was good. good luck Additional Information: i had that error and found a power in wire touching and fixed and started and all was good. good luck

What is the minimum RPM for the 2.2 kW spindle? Info on spindle page says 0-24,000. Elsewhere in this knowledge base it says 6000. My edge finder has a1500 RPM limit.
The lowest Hz for a 2 pole 2.2kW spindle is 250 Hz. That works out to 15,000 RPM. If you need lower RPM, a separate spindle will be required. This is typical for industrial CNC machines where spindles are changed out to mill on different materials. Additional Information: Thank you for the reply. Does that mean the 2.2 kW spindle sold by BYCNC is a 2-pole, not a 4-pole? There don't seem to be specs on the website for the 2.2 kW spindle. I currently have the 1.5 kW spindle from BYCNC and can run from 0-24000. 1500 is no problem. I never mill at that low of a speed, just use the edge finder to set the workpiece coordinates.

Hello. I�m interested in buying a water cooled spindle and VFD. I have an Avid Pro CNC and would love to control it using Mach 4 but I keep hearing it�s difficult to integrate. Also, is the water pump 120 or 240? I�d love any advice etc. eBay is a web of confusion with all of the options. Thank you.
You will need to look for the parameter that controls the run frequency. The frequency can be controlled bu the panel, external terminals, or the RS485 TX/RX terminals (UART protocol). You will want to change that parameter so it uses the panel. If you are referring to the maximum panel dial frequency is only allowing 200-300 rpm, then look for the parameters to control the frequency. For 200 RPM: Hz = 200/60 = 3.33 Hz For 300 RPM: Hz = 300/60 = 5 Hz Conversion to RPM: If you ever find yourself yearning to reverse-engineer the process, the formula is as follows: RPM = Hz � 60 Look for values that match somewhere between 3 and 5 in your frequency parameters and replace them with 400 to give you 24,000 RPM max.

I have a 110 volt 2.2kw water cooled spindle. Can I run it with a 220 volt VFD?
I have not tried connecting a 110V spindle to a 220V VFD; however, the parameters in a 220V VFD do allow changes to the values for the spindle motor. If you do plan on connecting the 110V spindle to a 220V VFD, damages can occur, so I would not recommend it. With that said, here is the output of an LLM: Using a 220-volt VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) to run a 110-volt spindle is technically possible, but it requires careful setup to avoid damaging the spindle. Here's what you need to consider: Check the VFD Specifications: Ensure that the VFD can be set up to output the correct voltage for your spindle. Many VFDs are capable of outputting variable voltages and can be configured via their programming settings to match the voltage requirements of the spindle. Adjust the Output Voltage: You'll need to configure the VFD to output 110 volts to match your spindle. This is crucial because supplying 220 volts to a 110-volt spindle would likely damage it permanently. Check the VFD's manual for instructions on how to adjust the output voltage settings. Set the Current Correctly: Besides voltage, make sure the output current does not exceed what your spindle can handle. The VFD should be configured to supply the current at the rating appropriate for the spindle�s power and voltage requirements. Consult the Manuals: Always refer to the manuals of both the spindle and the VFD. These documents can provide specific guidance on compatibility and settings. Consider Professional Installation: If you are not familiar with electrical systems or if the manuals do not provide clear guidance, it may be wise to hire a professional. This helps ensure that the setup is done safely and correctly. By taking these steps, you can safely use a 220-volt VFD with your 110-volt spindle, ensuring it operates efficiently without risk of damage. Just be meticulous with the settings and when in doubt, consult with or hire a professional.

What is the minimum RPM for the 2.2kW spindle?
Spindles with 2 poles, which is typically for these types of spindles will have a minimum RPM of 6000 RPM or 100Hz; however, I would not run the spindle below 15000 RPM or 250Hz to give a safety factor and no damage will occur. If you have a 4 pole spindle, then much lower RPMs can be achieved, and with higher torque than a 2 pole spindle. The 4 pole spindle will require more power than 2 pole spindles and will not be able to achieve as high maximum RPMs.

i need wiring from vfd to spindle, prefer with vfd connector? about 15 feet. do you have or suggest where to get some.
The wiring from the spindle to the VFD will depend on the power rating on the spindle. For a 1.5 or 2.2kw spindle, you can use 18/4 cable. Shielded: https://buildyourcnc.com/item/3d-printer-component-cnc-electronicsandmotors-shieldedcable-wire-4-conductor-18-awg-wrcon-cablewire4conductor18awg Unshielded: https://buildyourcnc.com/item/3d-printer-component-cnc-electronicsandmotors-cable-wire-2-conductor-18-awg-wrcon-cablewire3conductor22awg I recommend using a shielded cable as this cable may need to be routed through the machine along with delicate signal cables. The signal cables should also be shielded as well. The shield should be wired to protective earth.

I am having troubles finding the PD program, I have the Pd but it doesn't show everything I need to program my VFD. Any help will be appreciated...
When you power up your VFD, you can go into the programming mode by pressing the program button. You can press the up and down arrows to move through the parameters. Press the set button to go into the parameter to see the value of that parameter. If you want to make changes to that parameter, change the value with the up and down arrows until the desired value is shown, and press the set button to accept the changes.

What are the noise levels of the 1.5 Kw and 2.2Kw spindles?
The noise level of the 1.5 kW and the 2.2 kW are very similar. The noise level is considerably quieter than typical routers. I am going to add sound db levels to this FAQ a bit later. Additional Information: The db (decibels) reading for the spindle is 70 and an 890 Porter Cable router (a lower powered tool than the spindle) measured 90 db. Both measurements were taken in the same environment and measured at the same distance from the tool. Additional Information: Practically silent. The inverter makes more noise! Additional Information: Practically silent. The inverter makes more noise!

Does the 2.2kW 220V Spindle need Euro/AUS-style 240V power (1 hot, 1 neutral, 1 ground) or do North American 220V style welding plugs (2 hots, 1 ground) also work? Thx!
Our 1.5/2.2kW spindle will work with both setups, in our wiring diagram it is more seen as the Euro/AUS-style, however you can do the same thing with the North American style as well. Also depending on if you have single or three phase 220V, you can use pins R, S, T. A manual will arrive in the VFD box, which will have further information and diagrams. Please seek a certified electrician if you are unsure of any aspect in wiring the spindle or VFD, since wiring to main lines will require wiring of the plug and main lines to the inverter and to avoid any damage or injury's while installing the 1.5/2.2kW spindle and VFD combo.
