Boxford TCL 125

[inee]

Hi
on the pic with the relay, Lift the lid and move the red lever to the opposite side, then switch power on ,try the spindle reverse again. hopefully it will run.
If you hear a clock again don't worry as its probably the relay switching back to fwd, if it does then power up then lift the lid and operate red lever again, reverse should work. let us know how you get on with that.



the snipped wires, don't sweat over it.
The fat middle wire is an earth, the two other wires are a thermal cut out, i think it mentions it in the lenze manual
if the motor still wont reverse, unplug the machine grab a coffee. then do a continuity test on the rev switch, again let us know if it works.

.

The grey sleeved wire goes to the two optical sensors one is san index pulse ,the other is for timing, if you remove the panel on the front of the lathe at the chuck end, you can see where it goes to the slit disc inside the pulley cover.
While you're at it check all the interlocks work.
Let us know how you get on, how many wires are in the ribbon cable ?


some where i have a note about connecting a bob to the boards that are already there.

The missing components on the board are mostly to do with using the 3rd stepper driver on the board for the tool changer. Boxford did some weird thing with the turret and one axis sharing the wiring.

That missing fuse is bugging me as it goes into one of the Bridge rectifiers .
