Carbide VFD 65mm Speed Differential + Adjustment

Since I got my VFD the speed on the box has always been off. Not a problem really as I recall: C3D Spindle speed display as a post and reason PWN control so the voltage is off a bit but I never mapped it.

So I was bored during my warmup macro and took a sample:

Set Speed Actual Speed % Difference % Change Needed Set Speed Adj +%
8000 7998 0.03% 0.03% 8002 8082
10000 9240 7.90% 7.60% 10790 10898
12000 11010 8.60% 8.25% 13033 13163
14000 12840 8.64% 8.29% 15210 15362
16000 14580 9.29% 8.88% 17486 17661
18000 16320 9.79% 9.33% 19762 19960
20000 18090 10.03% 9.55% 22006 22226

I found that my numbers were about 0.67% off after adjustment so I pushed in a 1% increase and you just about always get where you are going.

I like how --I think it is Fererri’s work in Fusion you can do a mapping of speed & adjusted speeds to account for the difference. I don’t think there’s a way for me to do that in Vectric’s software. Food for thought in future CM releases, might be a nice thought.

Maybe this is helpful, maybe I’m just making a note for myself in case I lose my notes. :laughing:
