hi all-
this is a general type of question re: hydraulic circuits for cnc lathes with hydraulic chucks.
on our recently acquired no-brand gang style cnc lathe, upon pressing the "machine ready" button (it's a yasnac lx3 control), the hydraulic motor starts pumping and after a minute or so, it trips the breaker in the electrical box in the back of the machine. while the motor's pumping, we can use the hydraulic chuck (on/off).
the gauge connected to the solenoid doesn't move (can't imagine the gauge is bad) - so does this mean that the solenoid isn't turning on or what? we've never dealt with hydraulics so this is new to us.
are there basic troubleshooting steps to take? thanks!
