Today I sent a e-mail to Precision Matthew’s new purchase technical support and I asked the status of the new manual specifically the electronics of the PM-833TV. The response confirmed the machine was the same as the 833t except for the VFD instead of gear head. Below is part of their response.
“It does run on a VFD, but its not exactly the same as the typical programmable VFDs, this manual will not have info on how to change settings. It is a VFD, but without the case and the keyboard for parameters. Worst case you could just replace with a common VFD that you are familiar with, the motor is just an inverter motor, so can run fine from that too.”
The way I read it is that the VFD that comes with the machine will not take commands from the controller which in my case will be a Acorn. It looks like I will need to purchase a new VFD for the CNC conversion.
Do you guys interpret it the same way. Regardless, I am still planning on purchasing the PM-833TV next week but will just need to include a VFD with the rest of the CNC parts.
thanks for any advice
