Thanks, have checked the vacuum tube and ribbon cables. They seem to look ok. Theta motor seems to be woking. I'm leaning towards the theta encoder going wanky. Is that possible?

Not really, just eyeball. Does it look too loose or feel too tight. Is it lubricated properly, is there enough grease on the sprockets? Also, check the ribbon cables. They might be damaged.

We are having a problem right now where the machine won't load the circuit boards (mot m, y, z, etc) due to the machine blowing the fuses. This was diagnosed by one of our engineers to be a problem with this part: MyData MyCronic Booster BNB/NREG L-0

I agree with SirTec. Conflicts with other magazines slotted into machine often cause un reckognized magazine errors elseware. You can also try to re seat the first pair of MOT driver cards in computer this is whare mag data is stored. Also a loose ca

Dude, Scope the big ribbon cables on either side of the X-axis for cracks. They usually break where the clamp holds them on the X wagon. Also, all of your X camera stuff goes through the XWB board.Try swapping it if you have another. I am not sure

Phil is on the right track. Try this.... Go into the service program, and bring up the vacuum force indicators. Manually install a spring loaded tool into the Midas head. Once the tool is in the head, press on the tip of the nozzle with your finger.

I believe there is a force calibration menu option in the maintenance menu. From the main screen, choose exit to maintenance to get into the maintenance menus. If you're still having force issues afterwards, you'll want to start hunting for broke

The fact, that your Hydra head goes up and then starts moving slowly, means that it didn't find the limit. Since there are no mechanical obstructions and you swapped all the boards, the things to look at are cabling. Double check the ribbon cables fo

Try swapping XWB board that is on top of X-Wagon. Have you try that? All signals go thru there. Another thing can be those 2 ribbon cables that are behind of X-Wagon. How long ago did you change them? What I would do is to move X to different positio

Z-force sensor is a tool travel indicator. It has nothing to do with Z travel. Does the Midas head move at all, during initiation? It sounds to me like a Z motor/encoder problem. Is the Midas head ribbon cable plugged in?
