    This is the second part of the bandsaw upgrades. In this one, I'm installing a variable frequency drive that didn't go as planned. But the end result is better than expected.
    With the upgrade, it's now also capable of cutting metal.

    @Marius Nice job, welcome to the VFD club :) I have a few suggestions:
    1. You configured the motor to Delta that equates to 220V, but your drive is 380 and you obviously have 3ph power in the shop. Most drives are more efficient and definitely less noisy when running the motor at input voltage - not sure about SEW as I never used their drive, but it holds true about other 5 brands I have. If you reconfigure the motor back to Star and raise the drive voltage to 380 you should notice the difference. If this setting was suggested by SEW people, I'd be very eager to find out why.
    2. You can typically set starting time more aggressive then the breaking time because drive can draw a lot of energy from the mains but it can only sink the breaking energy into itself. Breaking resistor can help but even with it there's still a difference. Your drive should not be breaking a sweat. It's driving half it's rated load, don't worry about it. As for mechanical side of things, without VFD start time was 0s so as long as your belt don't slip on startup you can speed it up. Of course, if you don't need it any faster that's fine as well. For slowdown limiting factor will be either belt slip or drive capacitor overload error. Essentially, if you dump too much energy into a drive it'll shut down and let the motor coast down to a stop. When that happens, you back off a little bit and that's as fast as it'll stop.
    3. I mounted my drive as high as possible above the saw (in my case a small Emco BS-2, so the drive is on a mast above the saw body. Wood dust will not harm the drive, but blowing it out with compressor set to low pressure from time to time is not the worst idea.
    4. Emergency stop switch can be added in series to a normal stop switch(unless SEW has a dedicated e-stop input). I saw people mounting it at knee height, possibly wit a bar over it so it can be actuated by simply leaning on the bar. Useful if you ever really need it.
    5. To reverse the motor you can also switch any of its two phases or simpler configure the direction in software
    6. You mentioned max motor speed was 2000RPM in which case you're over-driving the motor. It's not a big deal with a small motor, but voltage has to remain pegged at 220 or 380V even if you raise the driving frequency otherwise you'd burn the insulation in the motor. Since motor has higher impedance at higher speed, this means it's drawing less current then it would if the V/f ratio was maintained and you loose torque once you go over rated speed. This is also not an issue, but it's good to know if you ever run out of torque.
    7. When soldering, heat up both metal parts , not just the wire. Actually, it's usually better to heat the contact more then the wire as insulation will melt sooner then the potentiometer.
    8. I probably wouldn't drill through the frame in that spot as you want it as rigid as possible against the blade tension.

      1. & 6. The motor is a 1400rpm and should run at max 2000rpm. With 230V drive, you can only run 1400rpm at nominal power. As not all parameters were shown (and I didn't read the SEW manual), I'm not sure what/how it is configured, but it is perfectly possible to setup a drive to reach 2000rpm with nominal torque (the motor power will be "increased" to 2.14 kW).
      Motor parameters are 1400rpm at 220V and 50Hz with 6,3A delta. If a drive is configured with 2436rpm at 383V and 87Hz with 6,3A delta, the max speed can be limited to 2000rpm. For this a 400V drive is necessary! When running at 2 or 3 kHz switching frequency your drive needs to be at least 2.2kW. When using higher switching frequencies (6, 8, 12 or 18 kHz), the drive needs to be overrated to 3kW as the drive will heat more at higher frequencies (this can be found in the drive manuels).
      10. Place an EMC filter before the drive if you wish your electronic household equipment (computers, microcontrollers, power supplies, ect.) to survive normally. VFD's create EMC signals on your power network.
      11. A household 380V differential (300mA) is not suitable for a drive and might shut off when starting the motor. These differentials are of type A. For drives you need a type C. For one drive on the network, this should not be a problem
      12. If running below 20Hz (and somewhere above 60Hz) the fan of the motor won't cool the motor correctly. Do not run below 20Hz (configure the minimum speed of the drive at 20Hz)

      @@MariusHornberger Tja, auf CZcams wird man es wohl besser wissen (wie immer **prust** ) als der Hersteller(!) des Frequenzumrichters UND des Motors. Also das musste dir erst mal auf der Zunge zergehen lassen ...
      Drehstrom-Asynchronmotoren leisten in Dreieckschaltung das größtmögliche Drehmoment. Man kann etwa von 0,5-1 * Mn (Nennmoment, stabiler Schnittpunkt der Drehmomentkennlinie mit der Lastkennlinie) also ca. 1/3 des Wertes bei Dreieckschaltung ausgehen. Der Frequenzumrichter hat ja gerade den Vorteil, dass er sich frei Parametrieren lässt und man unabhängig(er) von der Versorgung ist, bzw die Motorkennlinie optimal ausnutzen kann. Was zum sprachlos Staunen anregt ist hier übrigens, dass sich keiner hier mal das Handbuch anschaut und dafür lieber frei los fabuliert und hier ein Unsinn verbreitet wird, der nicht zum Aushalten ist. In Kapitel 6.5.2 Spannungs-Frequenz-Kennlinie" des Handbuchs zu MOVITRAC B(mc07b0030-5a3-4-00) steht:
      "Die U/f-Betriebsarten führen den Asynchronmotor an einer belastungsabhängigen Spannungs-Frequenz-Kennlinie. In den VFC-Betriebsarten wird ständig das Motormodell berechnet. Stellen Sie die Kennlinie bei der Inbetriebnahme mit Motor-Bemessungsspannung und Motor-Bemessungsfrequenz ein. Die Einstellung bestimmt die drehzahlabhängige Drehmoment- und Leistungscharakteristik des Asynchronmotors."
      Da kann man nur hoffen, dass der andere Kommentator dort oben auf KEINEN FALL Kontakt mit Kunden hat, etwa auf die Art, dass er solche Geräte installiert, worüber er noch nicht mal die Grundlagen beherrscht (kann natürlich auch an totaler Verwirrung durch die Nennspannungen hier in Europa liegen ... das bezweifle ich aber, hehe).
      Weiterhin: Netzfilter gibt es, siehe 4.21 Netzfilter NF. Sowie auch Ausgangsfilter und Filter der EMV-Klasse. Ob du so etwas brauchst ... mit deinem 128KW Motor für dein Kaltplatierwalzwerk (kleiner Scherz), weiß ich nicht. Das weiß übrigens auch niemand anders und schon gar niemand mit einer Ferndiagnose, hier. So etwas muss man MESSEN, dann zeigt sich ob die internen Schaltungen des FU ausreichend sind, oder ob zusätzliche Dämpfung benötigt wird.
      In Kapitel 6.11.2 geht es um Netzschütz und Netzsicherungen. Ausserdem wird ein Leitungsschutzschalter der Charakteristika B, bzw C empfohlen. Das solltest du UNBEDINGT zur Gerätesicherung (und passend zu den Nenndaten deiner Gerätekonfiguration ) vorschalten. Keine Ahnung was da oben schon wieder gefaselt wird (siehe 300mA). Es kann sich aber nur um etwas handeln für das es bei uns sowieso keine VDE Zulassung gibt. Ausserdem widersprechen sich die Aussagen komplett. Sanftanlauf und der Anzugs-/Nennstrom deiner Konfiguration liegen weit darunter. Ist mir übrigens auch zu hoch, weil ich nicht verstehe, wie man vergessen kann, was man einen Satz vorher geschrieben hat ...
      Viel Spaß mit dem Geschoss, Marius:) ... und ich hoffe nach 2 Jahren hast du eigenständig einen passenden Leistungsschutzschalter eingebaut, ja?:)
      P.S.: Punkt 6 .... **facepalm** Dieser Gleichstromschrauber denkt doch ernsthaft, dass die Drehzahl Spannungsabhängig ist. Das ist zum totlachen. Da sagen sich doch Generatorprinzip und Asynchchronlauf lachend gute Nacht ... die anscheinend keine Bekannte von ihm sind:)
      For the others: BTW the operators and installing handbook for the MOVITRAC B(mc07b0030-5a3-4-00) is freely available, even in English. So please RTFM, before you guys tell more fairytales. I can't stand more laughing. Please! (Strange that this collection of "peasant wisdom" has not been laughed at or criticized before ...)

    Hi Marius - Great job implementing the VFD to the bandsaw. As a former drive designer, I have a few tips for you. Perhaps you thought of this already. With regard to the braking resistor, I would suggest putting a metalic grid over the resistor with a connection to your Earth ground (or do you call it PE in the fatherland? :) ). Anyway, this will do two things: 1. Keep any kind of flammable material from coming in contact with the resistor body (except sawdust) and 2. Prevent you from touching the case and potentially receiving a shock. Not sure how your resistor is configured, but many times one end of the resistor is connected to +UDC of the VFD bus and the other end is connected to GND of the VFD bus when the braking chopper (IGBT) is turned on from the drive. Even if the resistor element is "insulated" from the metalic heatsink, there could still exist a large common mode voltage which could give you a tickle in your body if you come in contact with it. Sorry for the very long explaination, just don't want to see any damage caused by the breaking, oops I mean braking resistor. OK how about you make a speed display so you can dial in the RPM of the machine ? Sending Best Regards from Wisconsin USA.

    • @MariusHornberger

    Another excellent contribution from the southern Germany precision workshop scene. I like Marius’ projects.
    On my Matthias Wandel inspired band saw I used a variable frequency supply for four years already. With good results. This set-up allowed me to avoid the belt and pully transmission. I mounted the lower wheel directly on the motor axle. Therefore, I never had problems with slipping of the belt on the pully as reported by Marius.
    The only drawback of the use of frequency variators lies in the fact that they must already be connected to the mains when you want to use them. This means that one often forgets to switch them off after use.

    there is a trick for the cable shielding. if you use a little screwdriver and open up the mesh, then pull the wires trough that opening. then you can cut the shielding in one cut or maybe better connect the shielding to ground. use a shrink tube to isolate it..
    and about the cable with all the black wires. the wires have tiny numbers on them so you can identify which wire is which.
    and about the motor running the wrong way. if you just swap 2 phases, doesn't matter which 2. then the motor also runs the other way.

    Job well done Marius very well done, engineer by trade here. The only thing I'd say it would need next is a forced ventilation cooling fan for the motor itself should you regularly run the saw at a lower speed since it's cooling fan is rigid to the motor shaft, which when not running fast enough can cause thermal issues with the motor, possibly trips or loss of power which you wouldn't want in the low end speeds, that is if you're not too bothered about the additional noise of an extra cooling fan running on the motor. Otherwise again very well done!

    @oficinanoporao2493 Před 3 lety +3

    Hello Marius, I don't know if anyone has already commented on this, but I believe that the cause of you registering a greater amplitude in the 8kHz component when using a carrier frequency of 4kHz is this: the electric current reverses direction twice in one cycle and the vibration occurs in the magnetic core plates and in the motor coil at each current inversion. Therefore, the noise we hear will always be twice the frequency. Like in transformers at electrical substations, the noise is 100Hz (for a frequency of 50Hz). So it is coherent that the amplitude is higher at 8kHz. Thus I believe you can lower the frequency to 6Khz or something like that. Congratulations for another excellent video! Greetings from Florianópolis, Brazil. Miguel Moreto.

      That's a nice theory, but doesn't quite line up with the other spectra he showed: the 8, 12 and 16kHz ones had the base frequency as the strongest.
      (also my pedantic side would like to point out that even a pure 4kHz sine wave will change direction twice per cycle, and it's still only 4kHz... the doubled frequency appears only when we e.g. consider the absolute value or other nonlinear function of these direction changes.)

    About cutting metal on a bandsaw that also cuts wood (and you probably already know this), be careful you're not dropping hot metal chips on very fluffy sawdust. Chances of a fire are extremely minimal, but fire really is no fun, so it's a good idea to keep wary about it.
    About not announcing projects: On one hand it could be a good motivator for you, if the viewers constantly ask "where is project Y". On the other, I can understand very well how that would be annoying as all heck.

      From what I've seen the VFD is made for an industrial environment, it wouldn't surprise me if it was an IP54 or 65 rated device. However, for the home gig, cleanliness tends to be more important than an industrial setting.

      Bandsaws cut pretty cold, starting a fire with chips is not realistic, but it's something to keep in mind in case you do something stupid like run steel at woodcutting speeds.

    Nice job on the upgrade! Some small pointers: There are single insulated wires with higher voltages connected to the VFD. This is not good practice. They should be double shielded. In this case they need a cover. Also the not colour coded wires are numbered not always that easy to see but doable.
    Keep up the good work!

    Maybe space the VFD a bit from the frame (with wooden brackets) to help airflow? Also, you may have to create dust covers for the VFD, that thing looks really vulnerable to fine dust. For speed control feedback, have you considered adding a tachometer (mechanical or optical) to the perimeter of one of the wheels?

    I have a small titan bandsaw that cuts at a regular bandsaw speed, Ive used a 24tpi blade to cut aluminium and brass, also wood for the par 5 years and it’s never been an issue. The only reason I’d use a vfd on a bandsaw is for steel or stainless etc but soft metals like brass and wood can be cut with a 24tpi or even 16tpi blade

    Just thinking aloud, If you'd mainly use the bandsaw in 2 settings ( one speed for metal and another for wood) you could probably set up the electronics to use 2 different resistors depends on the push button you use to start it.
