Symptoms We Resolve

COMMON LATHE FAULTS

  • MAIN MOTOR FAILS TO START

    A contactor, overload, pushbutton, motor, or supply fault can prevent operation.
  • FORWARD/REVERSE CIRCUIT FAULTS

    Reversing contactors, interlocks, selectors, and wiring can fail and disable one direction.
  • EMERGENCY STOP FAULTS

    A worn E-stop or damaged control circuit can prevent the machine from enabling.
  • GUARD SWITCH PROBLEMS

    Misaligned or failed interlock switches can stop the lathe from starting.
  • CONTROL TRANSFORMER FAILURE

    Older lathes often use low-voltage control transformers that can fail.
  • MOTOR OVERLOAD TRIPS

    Excessive loading, phase imbalance, or motor deterioration can trigger protection.
