Anybody wire one of these XDJD WS55-180 with the 400w spindle?
I can’t seem to get mine to turn on (30v 0.5a supply for testing)
Are you sure it’s 0.5A? That’s probably your problem… I would check the amperage requirements.
If your supply is 30VDC 0.5A, then it only puts out 15 watts of power, which would not be enough. You might need no leser than 2.5 amps. That would give you at least 75 watts.
Does it say in the manual what the AC input voltage is supposed to be? On the banggood webpage I could not see that information.
Just realized, you listed that it is a 400 Watt spindle. You need a 400 Watt DC power supply. If your input voltage is 30VDC, then you need 13.3 Amps or more.
Awesome, thanks guys! Guess I need a new power supply then 
Should I just order one or do you guys source these from somewhere local, maybe used? I’m in the SF Bay area.
@Nathan_T The drive is DC input? Yeah at a half an amp supply input, with the nominal load of the drive being 8 amps, and 10 amps peak you’re not going to run. Your input supply is just going to shut down. I mean check the voltage of the supply under load. It is probably non-existent.
Standard practice until recently was to derate in electronics 100% So with a 10 amp load peak potential you would use a 20 amp supply. But lately people have been cutting things a lot closer than that. Personally I wouldn’t go under 16 amps, but it is your call.
At a half an amp you’re not even pissing into the wind.
Hi Nathan! Something like this, I think, would be ideal for your project.
AC110V/220V to DC 24V Universal Regulated Switching Power Supply 400W
It only costs $35.99 in amazon.
But, really any DC switching power supply that can output at least 400 watts of power would suffice.
Good luck!
Also, here is a pin-out diagram that you can use for wiring it up!
You would connect your new power supply to the +,- leads labeled “Power”. and follow the rest as listed in the diagram.
I think the potentiometer is needed only if you do not have spindle controls on-board of your CNC controller. If your CNC controller has Spindle controls, then you would just connect those wires directly to your CNC controller and skip the potentiometer.
The rest is self explanatory.
By the way, I wouldn’t spend too much money and go overboard on this.
Your spec only calls for 400 Watts and any simple good quality 400 watt DC switching power supply would should be perfectly compatible with your setup.
I would only stick to the spec. When you go overboard, then you can run into problems and end up wasting money either paying too much in parts or double purchasing when replacing unnecessarily broken or incompatible equipment.
Trust me, I am an expert at wasting money : )
