Hi guys,
I have a 1985 FP1 Activ which has a slight challenge with it's spindle motor.
When the spindle motor is engaged, it causes a short drop in power to the controller which resets the DRO/controller.
This was just happening if I engaged high speed, but now it is behaving the same way when starting at low speed too.
The machine is powered from a rotary phase converter, but I have no issues running other devices from the same RPC, so I don't believe it is to do with that.
My thinking is that there may be something wrong with the motor, so that it is drawing more current than expected when starting, but I am unsure where to start with my investigations.
I have rooted through the posts on the forum, without finding anything similar to this, so far.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Rob
