VFD to replace Spindle Drive
VFD to replace Spindle Drive
(OP)
I am working on a very old CNC with a Yaskawa Spindle Drive that is having problems. I was wondering if a common inverter with open vector control could replace that unit? All the wiring, specification, and operation look very similar to inverters I use everyday. Has anyone tried this?

I would say that those areas will be the most likely limiting factors in making this switch.
