Re: VFD setup

Never install a switch between the motor and the VFD, it will blow the VFD if you try to do that.
There is a pram that will allow you to reverse motor, also a time sitting for motor ramp up speed and stop speed (braking)

Re: Electronic Leadscrews?

I sent a request about getting a unit that would cut in inches. This is their reply. Hello, unfortunately, the ELS can only work in metric units, as Inches would take up too much room and would also be not precise enough. The common used 0,001 inch is only 0.0254 mm. The ELS now works with 0.001mm p...
