Fault diagnosis
Answer a few questions to narrow down the cause. The steps follow the order technicians actually use: rule things out from the outside in, from cheap to expensive.
What to do
Suspect unstable power
- Check whether it coincides with motors or welders starting up
- Measure the voltage while the machine is under load, looking for sag
- Re-check the terminal block screws — slightly loose ones lose contact under vibration
- Consider a larger PSU or adding a DC UPS
Before opening the machine. Disconnect power, wait for capacitors to discharge, and photograph the current wiring. If the machine is under warranty, call us first — opening it yourself may void the warranty.
