Things didnt quite go to plan, hooked up the mains and switched on, heard the big transformer buzz for a split second then nothing. Had a look and the fuses had popped and I didnt have any more to try. Must be somthing up with it in any case as previously I had it connected but through a circuit breaker and it didnt trip and it was 16Amp, same as the fuses that blew, so over the next few days I will have to do some investigating
I was however able to power up the hydraulics, spindle etc and was able to test everything out. The front toolpost isnt hooked up to the hydraulics or limits yet so couldnt test it but I was able to index the rear turret and it worked perfectly, told it to go to a tool and it would
Also was able to power up the spindle and go through the 8 gears in both low range and high range but I did have a problem with the macropump. I have the macropump looking at the true spindle speed and if 10% less than the commanded speed it will fault out, only problem is it was faulting out even when the the speed was over the commanded speed so looks like the macropump will have to be modified.
Overall it was a good day but I was hoping to be able to try out the Teknix drives and the axis motors but until I get the transformer problem sorted it cant be done.
