Is there any press out there that will run on 1 phase that have servo drive and electric heads....or is this out of the question???

...Sportsman EX 10/12, has a single phase option. We are stuck at single phase as well, so this is the ONLY press on our wish list, currently.
-
MHM S-Types, a 10/12 is 20 amp 220 single phase.
The Calmat flashes are single phase as well.
-
Workhorse Auto's, are single phase standard, M&R do single phase as an option too.
-
Well shoot...I have tons of options available. I thought this was going to be super tough.
Now I just have to make sure I have enough amps available...Looks like I need about the same as my screw compressor.
-
Roq(formerly Sroque) can help you out with this as well.
-
Every company I had talked to before we bought would make a single phase one, just needed to ask...
-
On our 2013/14 Sportsman EX, it's a matter of swapping some electrical components- breakers and such. Not hard to do and M&R has the parts. So you could retrofit a 3ph machine to single if you wanted to pick up something used, fyi.
-
We have three phase and our Sabre still came single phase.
I guess I like that, the inverter is what is reading out the speed of the motor, not sure if that happens when it's on 3 phase... Probably does.

The Anatol all electric VOLT is available in single or 3 phase up to 12 colors/14 stations and a print area of up to 20x20". The infrared flashes are also available in single or three phase. There is no extra charge for this option.

Meant to add - you don't have to worry about your compressor/chiller being single or three phase as none is needed

These are impressive presses. There are 3 in Atlanta. I have seen all three running. Very smooth and adaptable.

Brings up a good point, a full quarts fash is gonna be huge on amperage at single phase.
Flash back on the Sabre is only singe phase as it doesn't need more.

A good point as a compressor and chiller w/ mini quartz flashback(by the way what is the amp draw?) is likely to be similar to a full size flash.
-
I'm guessing without being at my shop 20 amps @220v.
My 7.5hp might actually be overkill for the small air requirements the Sabre needs but we use air for many other things in the shop and I can't imagine not having air (we blow out screens for faster drying, blow out the embroidery machine, full up the tires in the vehicles, blow out computers... I have drops all over for convenience.). But I think it's a single phase 30 amp circuit without looking.
But these are separate circuits... So the cabling isn't as robust and expensive either.
What does a single phase FULL size quartz flash draw?
-

flashback = 20A
5hp rotary air compressor = 30A (breaker)
-- so you're at 50A
our 20x24 flash runs on a 50A 3ph breaker (quoted draw is 43A) -- on a single phase breaker quoted draw is 72A.
-
Damn!
What gauge wire is that? 4?
-
for drops on a standard SOOW cord per NEC:
10ga - 25A
8ga - 35A
6ga - 45A
4ga - 60A
2ga - 80A
for a single phase flash drop with a rating of 72A, he'd have to go with a 2GA cable to be within code.

Hi,
We at ROQ can supply single phase machines. Check our website. Let me know if you have any questions. I'll be happy to help you. We already supplied several single phase machines for the US.
We can supply any YOU model with single phase and ECO model up to 16 pallets.
Keep on ROQing!!!

Wooo... now that's a spicy meat ball!

When you dig into many presses they are built for single phase anyway. Three major system. Controls are 24v so they use a transformer, print heads run off inverters being supplied single phase then converts it to 3 for speed and direction control and the servo amp which craves good voltage and current, single works fine for this.
You typical 7.5 hp compressors single phase is 30a but once started drops way off and consider its not running constantly maybe 30% of the time. Chillers draw maybe 1-2a, cycling ones are only running as needed.
A quarts flash drawing 70a will fall off quickly once warmed up, so you are not drawing 70a continuously.
Energy is energy, amount consumed will pretty much be a constant be it a press and compressor or just a press.

100% agreed.
Problem is initial cost of that 70 AMP run is still the same price. :)
Also, that's 72% of my total power in my shop, so even if it's only during warm up... that's still not gonna fly in my shop. :(

FWIW the Calmat flashes are 50 amps for 18x20 area single phase.
And faster than the MSI's we have that are three phase.
Downside being that they achieve this with carbon element lamps that
are ~$700 each.

Sean how many bulbs are there in a calmat flash
-
6, running longways for some reason.

Hopefully, Repogolfer understands that his question has done alot of good when it comes to providing /talking about automatic presses, flashes, electrical requirements and all yhe options -before one makes that decision.

puzzles me as well. On one machine they run across, on one longways.
