Thanks Jon,

I haven’t seen these before.

regarding the ago of my machine, I HAVE NOT A CLUE!

i know nothing about it. Very weird that no serial numbers or dates shown anywhere.

my next task after finishing the INT40 taper conversion will be to mount the motor into the side of the machine as it is floor mounted now. And I hate it. The only problem is I need to find a motor. The one that came with it weighs a ton so wouldn’t be suitable.
I am still looking for inspiration and pictures of other machine with a side mounted motor.

Greg

Hey,

I know it’s been a while, but did you find anything?

i am in the same shoe and was wondering if you gathered anything and wouldn’t mind sharing.
I’ve got a 20” horizontal and a vertical as well.

many help would be awesome.
Greg

Just don't go too OTT. if the VFD is way too big, its safety features might not work on a smaller motor. for ex if you have a 3HP VFD, the internal safety, overload protection might not perform correctly and you risk not protecting the motor.

also I suggest 1 VFD per 1 motor.

Greg

Generally speaking the smaller sizes have point tip so you need something like a cone to aid aligning.

the bigger ones have hole so you can use a tap follower.

answer is simple: there is no room to centre drill the little ones.

Greg

Hey Rob,

could you pls have a look at this:

What do you suggest what to do? I kind of figured I ground my motor to the VFD's PE, but you kinda made me change my mind. (This is the only ref point that I could call GND.)

What shall I Do?

Thanks, Greg

Guys, thank you ever so much for y'all input.

I went back to the vendor and they asked me to go and have it fixed somewhere near me and they shall bear the costs. That means one thing I guess... yep its a sort of mutant between 220V and 380V. dang!

Hence why it doesn't do what yours does.

So I am now getting a new one, hopefully a working one this time.

Greg

Well, I have tried! Still don’t work. I set P002 to 190V but P000 still don’t go over 220V.
In fact if I try to spin up the motor this way it gives me I thing Err 01, which is over current protection!

HOW DO YOU DO A FACTORY RESET ON THIS THING?

Greg

It certainly isn't, but it looks to me that its a sort of copy. It works. I can recommend, but you need to learn the new Chin-glish language. At least my manual is written in that :D

You're forgiven! I am getting there too.

Ill try to enter the password and see if I can change P000.

This thing spins my motor up nicely, make no mistake about it, but unable to measure RPM.

BTW, my motor is in DELTA!.

Also Can someone shed some light as to why I can not go over 220V in P000, where I should be able to reach 380V.

Ive got XSY-AT4 as well.

Is it a faulty item, or supposed to be this way?

Guys just uploaded couple of pictures of the revival of this nice piece of kit. Please have a look at my album.

Also I will upload some footages as well after I finished editing. Youtube link will be provided...

I have to say I am pretty pleased with it.

uploaded couple of pictures of the machine:

UPDATE:

the machine finally arrived at my workshop despite COVID19. I tried to keep 6ft from the machine but could not!

It was hell of a journey that's all I can say. I'll upload some footage after I edited them.

But still have absolutely nothing on this machine. Archdale has never given serial number to the its machines, just the type, this being a 20" Horizontal Mill.

Any chance of someone somewhere has any literature of Archdale???
