Application of VEICHI inverter in high-speed spindle motor

Project Overview

Overview

High-speed electric spindles have appeared in the field of CNC machine tools in recent years, and are a new technology that integrates machine tool spindles and spindle high-speed motors. The main drive system of the high-speed CNC machine tool cancels the pulley drive and gear drive and is directly driven by the built-in high-speed motor, thereby shortening the length of the main drive chain to zero, realizing the "zero transmission" of the machine tool.

With the maturity of technology, the application of this transmission method is quite common, and it is widely used in industrial equipment such as CNC engraving machines and confidential grinders. The drive technology of high-speed motors also needs to be improved. VEICHI AC310/AC300/AC10 series inverters are at the forefront of the industry with unique DSP algorithms for driving high-speed motors. In the following two industries, cutting machines (woodworking machinery) and polishing machines, we will introduce the application of VEICHI inverters in high-speed spindle motors.

System introduction and process requirements

(1)  CNC cutting machine

The CNC cutting machine is an auxiliary processing automatic woodworking machine. It can cut, milling, beveling, perforating, carving, etc. of various panel furniture such as wardrobe cabinets, cabinet cabinets, computer desks, panel furniture, office furniture, wooden speakers, wooden kitchen utensils, etc. Because the equipment has high processing efficiency, high processing accuracy, simple operation, and can be customized with furniture design systems to achieve different needs, it is widely used in the furniture industry.

The system is composed of a controller, servo, (frequency converter) spindle, bed, and so on. The special software of the controller performs design, programming, and reading of drawings, and transmits them to the servo. The material is processed according to the generated XYZ three-axis cutting and engraving path, and the designed plane, graphics, and text can be engraved. It can replace traditional sliding table saws and electronic cutting saws, cutting materials, and vertical holes in one go, to quickly process cutting materials and processing special shapes.
