Hello Everyone,
I am new here and to Hurco but have been machining for 20+ years. I have a small shop at my home where I make knives. I just bought an old KM-3P but I have a problem with it. Everything seems to work ok except starting the spindle. When you start the spindle manually or automatically (programmed) it sounds like it is drawing a lot of electricity. You can hear it from the cabinet on the side that the power hooks to. The CRT,s dim and then the machine locks up and nothing works except for the E-stop. I then have to shut down the machine and restart it. The guy that hooked it up is not familiar with Hurco and said the schematics did not match the machine. Could a wire that was reversed cause this problem? Any help would be great.
Thanks
Mark
