TSM-35 Screw Pocket Machine Troubleshooting
35.23 – Checking the Drill Motor for function
!
NOTE: The drill should have a visible slick of oil and sawdust mix at the front vent
area. If not, this indicates a drill that is not receiving lubrication and will most likely
need to be replaced.
•
Run a dry cycle – put a piece of material next to, but not covering the router
slot. Run a cycle.
•
If the clamp comes down, the router moves forward normally, the drill carriage comes forward, but
the drill does not begin to spin:
o
Remove the small red or black hose (air in from solenoid) from the drill delay assembly and
override the drill solenoid (last in stack)
*** CAUTION – the drill carriage will move forward
when overriding the solenoid ***
If no air comes out of the small red or black
hose AND the drill carriage comes forward,
check for a blockage in the red hose. (There
is a T Barb fitting in this hose.)
If air comes out of the red hose:
•
Replace the red hose and override
the solenoid - listen for air blowing
through the drill
o
If there is air blowing
through the drill, but it is not
spinning, replace the drill
(
If there is no air blowing through the drill
when the solenoid is overridden:
•
Remove the drill from the drill
carriage by removing the carriage
bolts that hold the drill mounting
plate to the yellow carriage (mark drill height before removing).
•
Then remove the drill from the brass fitting that connects it to the pilot
valve and drill delay assembly.
•
Override the drill solenoid (last one in the stack) and see if air blows out of
the brass fitting.
** Caution: the drill carriage will move forward when
overriding the solenoid. **
•
If no air comes out of the fitting from the pilot valve / hose assembly
:
o
Remove the small red or black hose (air in from solenoid) from the
push in fitting on the drill delay assembly and override again.
o
If air comes out of the small hose, replace the pilot valve (
