I brought home a Deckel FP1 last year.
Nice machine - well maintained and little wear.
The only issue is the rapid traverse.
It will only move an inch or so before it abruptly stops (see video below). This affects the traverse on all axis.
The power feed works fine at max speed 500 mm/min.
I have inspected the brushes and commutator and measured the tacho output. Checks out fine.
Another potential culprit is the servo driver board. I've checked the components (diodes, resistors, caps etc.). The original electrolytical capacitors all checked out fine, tested with ESR-meter, but I nevertheless decided to replace them with new high-quality caps.
I did not check the op-amps. This can be done but is a bit more involved..
Some basic specs:
- YOM 1992
- TNC 113
- Siemens brushed DC motor for power feed.
Here is a 50 sec video that demonstrates the problem.
Rapid traverse stops
Any suggestions how to troubleshoot this?
