I ended up finding that there were broken chords on the X-belt. I replaced it and all is good. Rob, Mydata is right. You can indeed end up spending lots of time and money trying to chase a transducer error. Things I would look at: 1. Lubing the X b

I'll try swaping cards and see if the problem follows the card. So far, my guess would be the motor going bad. I did change the brushes, X wagon cables and every cable that goes to the midas unit. But that didn't fix it. The problem is that to replac

I'm not sure if you fixed your problem yet or not but i'll give you some insight on your problem. The x wagon motor doesn't move cause of the voltage it actually moves when there's current applied to it. The voltage dictates the direction the motor m

WOW Sr.Tech, 40K worth of bent tools? I'm about ready to be sh*t canned because of 1K's worth. As for trimming the mags, the product is running fine (many boards) and then out of nowhere the tool bends, so I assume my PERFECT operators trimmed the ma

I'm surprised MyData is pushing the service call. They're usually pretty good at walking you through some troubleshooting steps before going straight to the service call. So, the failure sounds like an encoder failure; the encoders are attached to

Well...here is what I can tell you: I have over $40K worth of bent A12,A13,A14 tools.Yes you heard me right $40K worth. (Since 1995) Mydata used to make a repair kit to fix them but decided to quit. They tell me the reason they quit making the kit i

Sr. Tech, youre absolutely correct that the X-Wagon (pancake) motor is the one which will do final positioning when moving to a programmed position. The X Axis motor in back of the machine is used for rapid traverse of the axis. I was thinking more

I've heard that MyData is no longer supporting the TP's, so, getting a new motor might be a difficult proposition. If you can find the motor manuf/part number on the motor itself, you can likely find it on line somewhere...Google the p/n should do i

Hi, Hans, I would have suggested swapping the MOT card out to see if that fixes the issue (or, changing the MOT card with another one to isolate the card), but, it sounds like you've already done that. I'm surprised that MyData would point you towa
