I'm new here and glad there's a forum for fulltimers and weekenders!
Now my issue......
I bought an ACRA vertical mill (with DRO and power feed) from the company I work for. It’s been working good for years. I bought it a year ago and we have been using it for at least 6 months off of a static phase converter (although it seems the rpm indicated isn’t actual output with the converter). The unit has a Saftronics VFD on it. Every once in a while it would flash an error code on the drive. Now it flashes a broken code with parts of numbers and letters. Would my static converter have burned up the drive? Also, I’ve been told by several people that I can use a new VFD to bring in single phase and it will convert to three phase….. Is that right? I love the mill but it’s unusable in its current state. I hoping that I wouldn’t have to call a company to come work on it.
Thanks,
Shannon
