Good afternoon,
We have a Mistral 7.10.7 with a FBPC control. Several times in the past year when we'd power up the machine we'd be unable to do a machine start. In the lower left corner, it states that the E-stop button is pressed, which it is not. After some time we could always eventually get it to work. Had Hexagon out and they determined it is a failing power supply. Unfortunately, there are zero parts available for this control and the only solution provided is to upgrade to the RC1 control. Has anybody found sources for used parts for these controls or know of any 3rd party suppliers capable of fixing?
The upgrade is probably inevitable, but avoiding the significant cost of upgrading right now would be nice. Take away the control issue, the machine has been very reliable through 17 years of service!
Thank you
