Hi,
My Super X3 has been running fine untill today.. The motor and control system are factory original with no modifications.. I have only got as far as automating the XYZ axis.
When i started the machine today, everything was runnign fine. and i was just 'free-air' testing a program to make sure it was ok. ( the tool was not cutting anything but it was spinning at 2000rpm ). After a few minutes of running the motor just stopped.
I pushed stop, and restarted it, and it restarted but runs very roughly, up to about 500rpm and then just stops again.. This is repeatable. I've disconnected the belt from it, so its not connected to anything and the shaft itself spins ok, you can feel the indents as you rotate it, it doe'snt feel like bearings. With no belt attached it still runs rough and stops.
The motor is a W92-1000A.
I'm not really sure what to look at next..
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Can i check the motor to see if its ok, or if its the control board?
If it is the motor or controller board, it might be a good time to consider upgrading the spindle and controller anyway.
