Common Thicknesser Faults We Diagnose & Fix

  • Cutter Head Motor Overload Tripping

    Isolating high starting in-rush currents, direct-on-line starter wear, and single-phased 415V lines.

  • Feed Roller Variable-Speed Drive Stalls

    Troubleshooting mechanical feed gearboxes, DC variable speed feed boards, and slipping drive clutches.

  • Motorised Bed Elevation Limit Faults

    Replacing up/down contactors, broken height limit microswitches, and digital table readout encoders.

  • Emergency Kick-Plate & Trip Wire Open-Circuits

    Repairing perimeter safety trip switches, mechanical latching relays, and safety loops.

  • Anti-Kickback Safety Device Interlocks

    Testing mechanical interlock switches that ensure anti-kickback fingers are seated before running.

  • Electronic Blade Brake Delays

    Calibrating DC injection braking cards to bring high-inertia cutter heads to a complete stop rapidly.
