Dear Sirs,
I have a milling machine where the axis power feeds are non-functional. The main motor works fine (the spindle) but the control board to the power feeds seems to be having some issues? I am hoping that by picking the wise brains of you members I can carry out a simple repair. I have a basic electronic engineering knowledge and can carry out simple repairs but by no means have any advanced electronics background.
1. Firstly the circuit diagram can be seen in image 1 of my attachments. Image 2 is the board in question.
2. In image 3 (top view) and 4 (below view) it appears the cap has blown. I can replace this easily enough by soldering another to the remaining legs once I snip it out?
3. The component with a red button (I believe is a thermal reset-able cut out) does not stay down once pressed taking into account the circuit is out of the machine and on my desk. Can I replace this with a reset-able thermal switch? If so what ratings? I guess this is a fairly old component?
Any feedback here will be greatly appreciated. I am hoping I can get this running again with some simple component replacements.
Thankyou in advance.
