Guys
Does anyone have a wiring diagram of, or "how does it work" for the chuck clamp/unclamp solenoid on a first generation SL lathe?
It is a parker valve, but it only has a single solenoid with 2 wires.
It is a 120V AC coil, so I have absolutely no idea how it shuttles back and forth?
This machine does not yet have the prox switches on the actuator, so all it sees is the footswitch and then operates the solenoid.
After a certain amount of "dwell" it assumes that chuck is either opened or closed.
In any case, the problem is that the chuck is now closed and nothing I can do to open it up.
Tracing down the wiring now ( goes through a couple of plugs and another two bulkhead cables ) to see what the hell is up.
Is there a fuse somewhere for the solenoid?
There is a circuit breaker for the hydraulic pump, but cannot find a damned thing for the solenoid itself.
