Im not familiar with this type of machinery but a regular cause could be the safety cover not closed.
I doubt the machine have a fuse of its own.

Good luck finding the problem.

You have a few options

1, is the emergency stop button pressed down or activated
2, On the rear of the control box there is a black plastic cover this houses the fuse
3, open up the control box there may be a fuse on the main board

Is there thermal protection on the motor? More basic question is there any possibility of a fault on the supply line the machine is using?

No warning lights anywhere ? Could be as simple as a faulty start button.

Sounds a lot like the problems Rivet has had with his over the years with dead motors.
