Hello All, I have a 1983 Orac with a spindle speed problem.
When I start the spindle it reaches a constant speed and I am unable to change the speed
using the -ve and +ve buttons. The bleeper is working but no change in speed.
Hope somebody may be able to help.

Re: Orac 1983 unable to change Spindle Speed
Does the machine change speed within a program ? ? If so it is most likely the connections of the ribbon cable from the front keypad to the board.johnechall wrote:Hello All, I have a 1983 Orac with a spindle speed problem.

Hello Rob,
Thank you for responding.
No it doesn't change within the program.
It did work fine until I triggered the limit switch on the x axis.

Yes, everything seems ok. I have ran a program, but spindle speed cannot be changed.
