George, That sounds like a lot of work.
Maybe you could help me a bit quicker. Here is the problem:
In the electric cabinet behind the machine there is a chart of part numbers for fuses etc. It seems like it is possible to run the machine on 230, 380 or 460 volt 3 phase. For 460V, the main fuses are 10A, so this would suggest it is set up for 460V. I am in Thailand where we have 380V, so it would be great to know what need be done to set it up for this voltage. The chart says that the main fuses for 380V should be 15A. There is also a list of the part numbers for 3 versions of the manual motor control for the different voltages. I have been looking for some jumpers or the like to set the power for 380V, but can't find anything. I have started the machine and it seem to work, but I would rather get this sorted the proper way. The spindle motor is wired for 230V, but it only get 205V from the enclosure. The machine ahve been upgraded with Centronics M15 control. The X axis limit switch only triggers on the minus axis side and not on the plus side. The Y axis is opposite, meaning it only trigger on the plus side of the axis, not the minus side. I thought maybe this could have something with the low power to do?
Another thing: Do you know if the spindle motor is supposed to stop if the oil level is too low? I am a bit worried as I don't know if the oil pump works. It does not make any sound or movement.
