Machine tool applications

I. Product Description

V5 and V6 series variable speed drives (VSD)s are high performance vector control inverter. The speed-sensorless vector control technology synchronous with currently international leading technology is adopted for product, which is not only provided with the same excellent control performance as international high-end frequency converter, but also combines application characteristics, further intensifying the product reliability and environmental adaptability.

V&T EcoDriveCN® variable speed drive (VSD) with large torque upon low frequency and rapid acceleration and deceleration, realizes fast response and applies to application characteristics of machine tool industry, satisfying processing technical demand of machinery device and improving processing efficiency.

II. Industry lectotype and advantage

Industry lectotype
The advanced speed-sensorless vector control technology is adopted for V5 and V6 series variable speed drive (VSD). Under open loop vector control, 0.25HZ can provide 180% starting torque and +-0.2% speed stabilizing accuracy. Under closed loop vector control, 0Hz can provide 180% starting torque and +-0.02% speed stabilizing accuracy. It can attain quite quick response speed for spindle motor to realize its quick start and quick stop. Especially for motor running at lower frequency, its rapidity in start and stop is more evident. V5-H series inverter with control mode of vector control 1 and vector control 2, should be selected for general machine tool to perform the workpiece processing, with stable and large cutting force.

The rigidity tapping and other thread processing industries require high processing velocity accuracy and large tapping force. V6-H inverter is adopted as an actuating mechanism; it can commendably satisfy demands of such industries.

For high speed engraving and milling machine with running frequency exceeding 300HZ, V5-H-H3 high-speed nonstandard series products should be adopted, which support maximum output frequency up to 3000Hz.

When machine performs high-speed engraving and milling or boring for PCB board, spindle speed is stable, wouldn't be in off tracking and fall speed, which greatly improves the qualification rate of the machined products.

It requires extremely large torque and no stalling when machine tool cutting workpiece at low frequency. The V6-H series inverter should be selected and encoder is needed to perform closed loop vector control mode. Under close loop vector control, the speed stabilizing precision is 10 times than the open loop vector control mode, satisfying the machine spindle processing requirement at low frequency and heavy cutting. V6-H-M0 series variable speed drive (VSD) realize orientation angle, 8 angles at most when select by terminal. If more than 8 angles are required, it can be realized by communication to satisfy technical demands of different machining. Under 0Hz running status, spindle accurately stays at the correct angle. The spindle keeps very large torque without changing spindle angle. V6-H-M1 series variable speed drive (VSD) can realize simple positioning control function and satisfy the application of certain special high-end industry. V6-H series standard products output frequency up to 300HZ. If output frequency exceeds 300Hz under close loop vector control, V6-H-M3 series nonstandard variable speed drive (VSD) which output frequency up to 500Hz should be selected; it can also realize orientation at arbitrary angle, satisfying more extensive speed adjustable range of machine tool.

Industry advantage

Large torque at low frequency	Compared with similar brands, it is provided with larger cutting force and cutting depth, can improve efficiency and productive capability.
Fast response	With faster acceleration and deceleration time, it can attain 0.1 seconds at the soonest and improve machine tool production efficiency
Stable speed	Under open loop vector control,its speed stabilizing accuracy can attain 0.2% and can effectively improve machining accuracy
Excellent current and voltage limit ability	With super strength anti-sudden shock and overload abilities, it is provided with precise current loop control.
