Magnetic brake troubleshooting guide

⚠️ Before You Start

Disconnect the machine's power plug from the power source to ensure safety.


🔧 Step-by-Step Troubleshooting

Step 1: Check Worktable Resistance

Tools needed: Multimeter

Measure resistance between terminal blocks 20# and 22#.

A resistance reading between 22–25 ohms → ✅ Worktable is OK

A reading of 1 or OL (Open Loop) → ❌ Workbench failureReplace worktable


Step 2: Isolate and Power Test

If the worktable is OK:

Disconnect terminals 20# and 22#

Reconnect the power and restart the machine

  • ✅ If machine powers on → Problem was with worktable
  • ❌ If the machine does not power on → Proceed to Step 3

Step 3: Check Part A  Bridge Rectifier

Power off the machine

Disconnect 4 plugs at Part A (as shown in the diagram)

Reconnect the power and test the machine

  • ✅ If it powers on → Part A is faultyReplace Part A 

    KBPC5010 Silicon Bridge Rectifier

  • ❌ If it does not power on → Proceed to Step 4

Step 4: Check Part B

Repeat Step 3, but this time:

Disconnect Part B

Power on and test

  • ✅ If machine powers on → Part B is faultyReplace Part B
  • ❌ If not → Proceed to Step 5



Step 5: Check the Circuit Board

Disconnect the circuit board wiring

Power on and test

  • ✅ If machine powers on → Circuit board is faultyReplace circuit board

Step 6: Replace Other Suspected Components

If the above steps can not resolve the issue, please try replacing the following components one by one:

  • Replace the thermal protector, then power on and test
  • If that fails, replace the circuit breaker, then test again
