It is a 3 phase machine and I would like to be able run it on single phase but still be able to run all the machines functions i.e turn coolant on and of and reverse the motor but without flicking the phase converter on and off
So what im after is a 3 phase inverter that will just supply live into the machine and be able to turn the machine on and off via its controls on the headstock
Im no sure which phase converter to use i.e A rotary one a Digital one or a static one?
Any help much appreciated
Regards
Marcus
