I have an old Elox/Fanuc wire. Don't use it much but doesn't owe me anything. So on Friday started a long cut it was sparking along all day ok till about 1/2 done when it broke the wire. It was late and I dont trust it to run lights out so just left it. Came back this morning fixed the wire and turned on. It would try to cut but go into reverse tries three times till it errors out.Tried every combination of amps and volts I could think of same thing. Checked the parameters ok. Ran the filters for 1/2 hour, no luck. Then I noticed the wire was not wrapped around the wheel that I assume sets tension. Fixed that I will be damned if it started to work.The old machine can be really tempermental on first start up but this was worse than usual, it is frustrating.
