Setting up a shop at work. The Enco lathe has an issue. Supply power to the lathe (220), pull E-stop, push power on button, the main power relay closes but when you release the power button it doesn't stay closed. If I hold the power button in and hit the Jog button (inching) at the same time the lathe will run at least till the power button is released. If I hold the power button on and try to turn on the lathe with the forward-off-reverse lever on the carriage the main power relay will open (off) even while button is held in. It seems the main power relay internals are working (contacts, magnet) except it wont stay in the closed /on position.
This is driving me crazy. The schematic in the users manual is pretty much useless to me so far. Any help would be great.
I have the exact same lathe at home and mine works fine but I don't really want to tear into the electrical circuts just to do a comparison.
HELP
