Pendular saw control board problem
« on: November 09, 2015, 01:59:40 pm »
Hi, a friend gave me this pendular saw and it has a problem in the control board.
The motor is DC.
I used an hp printer transformer at 32V directly at the motor and it ran fine but slow(need more voltage?)
It was too slow to cut wood so i ordered some replacement parts hoping to make it work.
The problem was when you turn it on it runs a bit slow and 5 sec later it goes full throttle but more than it should by factory(400 to 1600RPM).
Now i swapped the components in the pictures and it doesn't run always when pressing the on button and when it runs it goes full throttle again and stops after 2 sec.
Anyone have an idea of what is happening? a friend told me those large ceramic? capacitors break a lot. or it could be the diodes?
thanks for any help.

Change C4, as it likely has self healed itself down to a low value.

Have you tested the electrolytics for ESR and value? May as well just change them while your at it.

No good, motor still rotates 1 turn or so and stops after several tries on the power switch.
Thx ;)

A Fluke 79III could be used to test?
Going  to change for some nipons i have.
Thx ;)

Changed the electrolytic caps and is the same symptoms.

i have 0.8v on the opamp power pins does that mean some zener is busted a not giving it the voltage needed?

Single sided board that has no plated through holes is liable to have cracked solder joints. Re-solder everything then see what happens.

That or something's pulling the line down, or the zeners not getting a supply to start with.
Sketch a schematic out, that usually makes it easy.

Done, no change, i'm going to make a schematic, strip all components test them all resolder the clean board and if this is not going to work i kill this bitch.  >:D

Using the diode test on the MM is good to test zeners?

Depends how high a forward voltage they can put out, if it's lower than the rated zener voltage you wont get a reading. You could try removing the parts on that supply line then testing the voltages at the resistor and zener that way, or remove the zener and use a suitable resistor and power supply to test.

Removing the components on that line one by one may isolate the problem if you voltage at the zener returns to normal.
