Wiring and Programming HuanYang VFD for 2x72 Belt Grinder

Submitted by Lior Trestman on

I'm posting this blog because it took me a while to find the correct codes to program this VFD with, so hopefully by putting all of the information in one spot someone else will have an easier go of it.

 

This is the VFD that came with a 2x72 Belt Grinder bought on Ebay (from Remmer-4513). In the end, the codes that worked for me were:

-PD002: 1

-PD003: 60

-PD004: 60

-PD005: 60

-PD070: 1

-PD072: 60

 

I wanted the belt grinder to be foot pedal controlled and have an on/off switch, so I wired in series a foot-pedal and on/off switch between the FOR and DCM pins.

In order for two tubes of metal to be welded together successfully, one needs to have a precise hole cut in it. This machine does that. Bicycles, geodesic dome structures, roll-cages, and aircraft frames all require tubes to securely fastened at irregular angles.

Placemats as a Freestyle Quilting Sampler

 

Making smooth continuous freestyle shapes on the long arm quilter takes practice. Why not try several types for a single project?
