We got run-aways on the three axis that we have sent spark to on our retrofit.
Machine has not seen spark in 19 yrs, so quite possible that there have been some caps or whatnot that have dried out and gone bad.
Would like to get a schematic if possible.
I have a full set of spare drives, but those haven't seen spark in about 10 yrs and are a days drive away at that.
I have loads of Reliance books on these machines, but we aint seen nothing Gettys related at all.
"Type" 11-1060-01
Machine build date 4/80
We did see some amount of inteligence at one point when the one axis changed direction once, but now only goes that direction now.
Another axis reacts diff if we short the input V to zero as compared to just unhooked. With shorted it slowly drops - seems very much like gravity, but as soon as E-stopped - it stops dead. I see no sign of a brake on that unit either. Just fine pitch screws, so we ass_u_me that it is actual/gradual movement of the drive/motor.
Other than that - it's Balls to the Wall for the O/T switch on all axis!
(Have not hooked up the B yet.)
FWIW - the resolvers have been replaced with encoders to the new PC control, but the tachs have never been unhooked. (other than for rigging purposses.)
