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

We are seeing intermittent X-transducer errors. I notice that the X-wagon has more resistance over the Y-wagon area when I manually push it back and fourth. I am thinking the belt might need replaced. Has anyone else seen this before.

Replace both of the big X-wagon ribbon cables to start with. You always have to rule those out before looking at anything else.

We have an older line scan camera on our MY series machine.(The one that uses the X wagon trigger/encoder to turn on the line scan)When I go into the service program and turn the line scan camera to "camera action on" the LED's will only stay lit for

Bruce, Since we had spares, I replaced the X wagon cables, XFMB cable, nothing. FFX Cable, nothing. Swapped mot cards, nothing. Vaccum seal, nothing.At this point I truly believe the problem is either on the theta encoder or the theta motor. Unfortu

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

One thing a lot of people don't know is that the small X motor on MY machines have carbon brushes in them. If you do not replace the brushes before they wear out it trashes the motor.

well by the looks of it you have pretty much replaced just about everything that could cause the problem. The only one i haven't seen is the cable going from the computer box up to the x-wagon boards. Just out of curiosity when you took your motor fr

I had the same problem back in March with my MY12, since I have two identical lines i swapped things around until swapping the x-wagon motor (the one for fine movements). When I swapped the x-motor I move the problem from one line to the other gener
