Using a contactor with a VFD on my Harrison M300 lathe (video 2/3)
In this video we have a look inside the control / wiring cabinet of my M300 lathe. We view the contactor, VFD, 24V PSU and miniature circuit breaker (MCB). The contactor is placed between the mains supply and the VFD. It acts as an isolating switch, disconnecting the VFD from the power supply when not in use. This eliminates the risk of accidental energization and reduces the potential for electrical shock. The e-stop button that I use for the contactor also sends a safety command signal to the VFD.

Latching relay (start - stop) Circuit Wizard simulation
Переглядів 2,4 тис.Рік тому
This circuit uses a normally open (N/O) push-to-make switch to latch the relay on and a normally closed (N/C) push-to-break switch to reset the latch. When the start switch is closed, the coil is powered and the relay contacts change position. When the start switch is released, the coil remains powered via the relay contacts until the stop switch is pressed. NO SOUND ON THIS VIDEO

WEG CFW300 VFD failure on surface grinder
Переглядів 427Рік тому
Is this a common fault? The VFD is just over 2 years old and appears to have failed. It spins the motor up no problem but appears to indicate an output frequency of 60 Hz (contrary to the programmed settings) and has an intermittent fault on the screen. I've tried reseating the internal interconnect between the display and main board but the fault remains.

Posting this video to help a couple sell this lathe on behalf of their elderly father. The sale is genuine and the lathe appears to be in good vintage condition. The lathe comes with a 4 jaw independent and 3 jaw self centering chuck, fixed steady rest, travelling steady rest and at least two faceplates (I think). The lathe is housed in a home workshop with reasonable access via a tarmac driveway.

Very neat...
Thanks for explaining how it works. This circuit consumes 3x less power then regular astable mode (at least for my unit) If add diode and potentiometer yotu can make very clean PWM signal with stable frequency and onyl control duty cycle.
So another video recommends using a capacitor for this (no R), and another video says just use a diode. What's the difference? These were both limiting flyback sparking or spikes when starting / stopping a motor using a transistor.
If switching an inductive load (eg motor) powered by a DC supply, I would simply use a flyback diode rather than use an RC network to suppress transient voltage spikes during switching. Contrary to how some people may have understood this video, I am not advocating the use of an RC snubber for DC switching applications. I might also add a low value capacitor across the terminals of a brushed DC motor to reduce EMI. I hope that helps.
@@PizzeyTechnologythanks, it does!
I'm watching Your UA-cam videos with enjoyment. I too have a Lathe Boxford AUD and I need an information from You. I want to make some Metric Screw and I know I need a Gear 127/100. Please, if you have such a gear, could you tell me the millimetric dimensions of that gear ,I want to make them myself .tnx
Hello and thanks for watching. I no longer have the Boxford lathe as I upgraded to a different machine. I bet you can find the gear dimensions online. You need the number of teeth, DP and pressure angle. It's a simple job to print a gear if you have a 3D printer and access to a suitable program (eg fusion 360)
O, stop whining ! You misunderstood the assembler userguide and I doubt you are a programmer. PSECT intr_vars,CLASS=BANK1,space=1,delta=1,noexec dummy_a: DB 0h .... PSECT int_vectors,abs,Ovrld,delta=2 ORG 0h res_vect: goto init ORG 4h int_vect: ; save context movwf w_temp&07Fh ....
It is very good video. I want to mention that the capacitor stores energy at 12V instead of 50V used in the calculation of the capacitor size.
Super helpful video - I was struggling to understand how these work and I realized in the course of the video that I had a single misunderstanding that was throwing me off. That was thanks to your clear explanation!
It's good to hear this video proved useful. Thanks.
Thanks for such a great explanation of this subject. And I think you have given me a clue as to why believe I have blown a couple of 555s. I wondered if you can help fix what I think is the issue? I’m aiming to trigger a pair of 555s in monostable mode with a rising edge triggers to drive Mosfets which in turn drive an actuator open / close. The external input is a temperature control unit that produces 12v output for so long as actual temp is above set point; otherwise output falls to 0v; and for one of the 555 circuits, this output is inverted to give the desired reversal action. I’ve adapted a circuit published elsewhere to create just one part of a larger project, and would have attached the circuit at issue here in pretty much the same form as the circuit you demonstrated - if I could find a way to post a pic of my circuit, you’d see my differences to yours in yellow…! So to describe, my rising edge section is very similar to yours except: - the switch (in my case - the TCU) is located between R2 and +ve rail - Pin 4 is connected between the switch and R2 (so if the actuator is commanded to reverse, the active 555 resets, and the other becomes active) - I have a pull down resistor from between the switch and R2, to ground. BUT I did not include a clamping diode when I first tested the circuit, as I wasn’t aware of the overshot issue until zi saw your work. And essentially my circuit did not work and after a lot of mucking around, the 555s are not even operating after removing the rising edge sections. I think they are blown as the voltage overshoot would likely have gone to around 26v with my 13v power supply. That I think would have blown the 555s? Correct? So based on your reference to this, I figure I must add a diode. I’m thinking of adding a 1N4742 12v zener diode across Vcc to Pin 2 on each my 555s. Is this correct, or should I add these across Ground to Pin 2. Would really appreciate your thoughts Many thanks John
precise..well done
its a really nice saw . Thanks
Glad you like it!
A quality bit of kit, used one of these for over 40yrs and its still going strong 👍
Yes, definitely built to last and even if it does show wear it's easy enough to fix.
Nice. I got a knife I made from an old hacksaw blade from a similar saw. I think it was a thing us apprentices did as old blades were always sought after!
Funny you say that, as I recall my dad making me a knife blade from a broken power hacksaw blade. Not the sort of thing you'd give a kid nowadays!
Old machines are beautiful to behold.
Agreed! Unfortunately I've run out of space and will need to sell this saw in the very near future.
Why did it arc like that
Arcing across the commutator and brush assembly on startup.
@ do the brushes need replacing
Do you have to put the A3 or each last part on the right?
ez finals thanks to you
Did you connect the scope and sig gen directly in parallel with the tuned circuit ?
Where in U.K. can I buy a 0.1 micro F capacitor with 2M ohm resistor as a single unit with two leads . I need it for my vintage sewing machine foot controller/ speed controller. Would appreciate your feedback ASAP. Thanks.
Sorry, but I am unable to recommend a supplier. If I needed that combination, I'd probably just add a resistor across a discrete capacitor.

Hi, in this case would R2 when calculating frequency be 0?
The video was indeed clear and well presented. Thank you very much.
Astonishing explanation, thank you!
This explanation works. Thx
I got confused watching the video. The I read the comment section and read so many people failed their exams because of this video. Just wow.
thanks:)
hey can you do the same with male to female wires and then to a bread board
i just realised that it is female wire but still can you connect it to a bred board afterwards
Thank you :)
Excellent
Nicely done - I'll be showing this to my grandkids
Perfect! Never soldered a diode before and this video worked! Thanks!
nice video thank you

Best explanation
Very nice.
Absolutely stellar explanations and demonstrations. I'm finally starting to understand! Thank you so much. (ps You used the term "mutual" at one point and I take it that it's the same as "common" - I love it.)
Thank yo for taking time to produce this video. I have been exploring using a 556 setup with the first side creating approximately 24KHz. That triggering the second side as a mono-stable creating a pulse that is variable between 20% and 80% of the 41 micro second wave. I will certainly attempt to apply your theory. However in all humbleness allow me to give some feed back. The video portion is clear, but the audio portion is quite distorted suck as you would find in a musical effect called "phasing or flanging". Some of us deaf old farts up here in the US find that and the accent as a reason to squint our ears : ) IE. It was hard to understand you. I still say thanks for the video just the same.
Best and easy to understand video on this topic i have found so far! Thank you! Would be great to also do an overview of typical anti-sparc measures to protect semiconductors like transistors/mosfets when switching DC with inductors. What about fast flyback-diodes versus RC-snubber? What about varistors and TVS suppressor diodes? What are the optimal measures to protect a mosfet? Can you combine these methods for better results?
I just have a question about the decoding part, how do we identify the code without the spaces ?
The space key is also an ascii code. So you can include spaces as part of your encoding, or try to guess where the space should be, if the code is in a natural language you understand.
hello there, any suggestions on lubricating the gears? i stupidly used oil and now the oil has dripped down the quill and splashes all around when the spindle turns fast (my t shirts now have a horizontal oil line on the chest area😂)… should i reopen it up , remove the oil and use grease instead? thx
Where did you lube it? The bearings need grease and the gears don't really need anything as they're some type of phenolic. I just rebuilt mine and didn't use much of anything on the gears. Maybe a light film of grease.
@ thank you for the reply! i actually dripped oil from the filling ports on top of the gearbox, i guess i used too much!
