Good day gents,
As the title says; the switch rod is not engaging the magnetic contacts on my single phase / 220V 14 x 40 engine lathe.
When I manually press either the fwd & Rev magnetic contacts, the motor and the lathe functions.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Please note:
-I just moved the lathe from one shop to another, it was fully functional before the move.
- I bypassed the switch/safety guard during evaluation of the problem.
- The emergency stop button was tested and is functioning properly.
- I removed the cover and manually pressed the NO and NC roller levers that are activated by the switch rod. No action from the motor.
- Unfortunately, I placed the lathe very close to the wall and I will have to move it out to get a better look at the controls enclosure.I was hoping to get some insight before doing so.
