    Bridgeport Interact 412 Axis Drive Not Enabling Heidenhain 151 controller

    Hi ,

    I turned this machine on this morning and smelled something funny now my controller comes on but as soon as i hit the power enable button to reference the limits it trips a breaker (C4) in the back cabinet and the drives do not get turned on.
    I changed the PSU , Changed all Axis drive cards including the power supply board. Checked the fuse in the control. I am not sure what to try next.

    Any help is greatly Appreciated

    Thank You
    Ray

    gotta check the wiring diagram and see everything that is connected to that breaker. If you have replaced everything then try replacing the breaker.

    I found the problem last night it was the Benedikt & Jager Contactor that enables the drives.

    The Contactor is located in the back cabinet next to the circuit breakers ( to the right " ) it says " Benedikt & Jager K2-23A10 " on it.
    Here is where you can get a replacement.

    Thanks. I found it. Took it apart and found the housing had melted a little and was keeping it from engaging. I put it back in but still won't go.


    Thanks, I'll have to order one.

    Is there a way to mechanically actuate it for this weekend? I tried holding in the engaged position, but it didn't seem to affect anything. I assume these are just power activated switches? True?
