Something weird happened yesterday where the spindle would make the hum like it is spinning up and then just stop. Subsequent tries did not even make the spindle hum or spin. I tried everything suggested in other posts from unplugging everything and waiting 10min, restarting the computer, letting it sit overnight… nothing worked.
I did have a spare controller from some other troubleshooting and switched them out after the first issue. I was able to finish a few hours of carves and then the problem started back again. It almost seems like the spindle is the problem and causing something to short or trip inside the controller. Ideas??
I’ve only had it a month. I can’t imagine that being the problem. Usually you will hear it start to fail if it’s the brushes. Do you have a link for some? I don’t recall extras coming with it.
If you power OFF and unplug the Xcarve Pro Controller from the wall power and leave to sit for about 10 minutes the vfd will reset and it should allow you to run it once again.
This has happened to me too now. I have reset the VFD, checked the fuses, cleared any debris, and no luck. Unfortunately, I don’t have an extra controller around to try. @RyanBrown what was the final solution? Did they replace the spindle?
