DVR Upgrade Package for Nova 1624 Lathes

This Upgrade Package adds a powerful Digital Variable Reluctance motor and digital controls to your Nova 1624 lathe (sold separately). That means you can say goodbye to the tedious process of moving the belt from pulley to pulley. Speed changes with the DVR motor are accomplished with a simple turn of a knob, and the ''Five Favorite Speeds'' function lets you hop directly to a preset speed with the push of a button. The incredibly smooth-running motor is controlled by a sophisticated micro-processor that monitors motor output and load requirements, and automatically adjusts itself to maintain speed and power. It also provides various functions to make turning easier. It can measure the weight of your workpiece and adjust the performance accordingly, sense faults in your setup and advise, and instantly shut down power if it senses chisel dig-ins or spindle lockout. The computer also optimizes efficiency so that the motor only draws as much power as is needed, saving up to 80% in energy and emissions over conventional motors.

Features:

• Easy to install using your existing pulley and flange
• One belt position covers the entire variable speed range from 100 RPM to 5,500 RPM
