So I purchased a SG that had a electric mag chuck on it. Not having 3ph in the garage all my machines are ran of individual vfds. Im in the process of cleaning the machine and rewiring the controls for the vfd. The control box for the machine is in its typical spot right side of machine just under table. The chuck control box is bolted to the side of the machine control box so all controls are close together. I think I have enough room in a distribution box of the machine to install the vfd and all other components.
My big question is will the electric chuck interfere with the vfd or vise versa when operating?????
Was sitting here trying to plan everything out and thought about it and I can kind of see a problem but idk.
Another thing that’s alittle different about this grinder is it has a direct drive spindle/motor meaning the spindle assy is integrated in the motor. The spindle is the armature of the motorNot the usual spindle linked to a motor via a coupler. Looks like a nice setup 2 sets of angular contact bearings for the spindle not the usual 3 bearing design.
Any thought on the vfd and electric chuck concerns obviously need these two components to work together. The chuck is ran off a 120v cord so it won’t be ran off the vfd but will be within two feet of each other.
