The machine dont move

[alberto mogrovejo]

You right this afternoon I going to do with a other electrician
I will send you the updates

Shopbot has a free 800 phone number, but I'm not sure if it works free from your country. They are very helpfull and do not charge for advice.

You can also post some pictures along with your findings, and we may be able to help that way.

I pulled the cover off of one of my extra vexta alpha drivers and there is a fuse just inside of where the 110 volt power go in.

They are not all 110, with some of them being 220 volt, but anyway, if you take the two small black screws on the side of the driver off, you can see the ceramic fuse in it.

For the drivers that don't light up, this may be the problem.

Hi guys
I try that Kenneth the fuse is O.K. the electrician said probably the 2 drivers burnt out
any body know how much cost the drivers

[ken_rychlik]

I bought one last year and the driver and motor came together for about $1100 us

I don't think they sell them seperatly.

I would contact oriental that made them and see if they have a repair dept.

You should be able to disconnect the two that are not lighting up completly from the control box and if the rest of it is ok, the other two should come on and allow you to move those two motors.

That will give you an idea about anything else that may be burnt.

Kenneth
I going to try that tomorrow
oriental is the name of the company
one drive x is burnt. I can move with one motor the x axes?

[ken_rychlik]

If you pull the x motor that is not hooked up to a wire the good x motor should move it around. It would not be good to cut anything, but you could see if the rest of the machine was working or not.

Here is the company that makes the driver. Keep in mind that they still may have to go to shopbot for a programming.

Hi Kenneth
I pull the motors and I have this message

DRIVER | MOTOR FAULT! LOCATION??

[ken_rychlik]

The ribbon cable going into the drive should be unhooked also if you are going to run it without that drive.

I have run mine without one of the drivers hooked up and it worked. It has to be disconnected completely from the system though.

I have not run mine with two of them unhooked, but I think it would work the same.

If you want to call me, I sent you my phone number in an email.

If anything is unhooked at one spot, it should be unhooked at every spot so as to not make a fault code.

Does your electrician have insurance If he made a mistake he is responsible for it.
