Have you try doing initialization from service menu? Exit TPsys, type service -x and try to initialize only Hydra Z. See what error you get. Can be too much friction on the shaft. Run friction test

Have you performed the maintenance? It might need grease, or there might be excess old grease, that's putting more friction on the Hydra Z. Check if there might be interference from the vacuum tubes or wires.

IIRC There is a friction test? If I remember correctly, what is the result?

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

Hello. Hoping to find help troubleshooting z axis issue. Initializes OK, and runs a bit sometimes not going all the way down to reach feeder, misses part and tries again, usually successfully, before ultimately stopping for "F-MOT-MOVE INDVACWAIT Z/2

I'm randomly having some motor move errors, as well. If you swap your MOT board, and the problem continues, you're down to a couple of problems. Could be that the motor is getting ready to die on you. Could be an encoder problem. Or, could be som

I have tried that Tim and I get the same error message. Originally it would pass in the service menu but when I switched back to TPsys, it would fail. I tested the friction one time it did pass and it was well withing the range. Thanks for the res

Hey everyone, We use a MyData MY12 machine and we are experiencing a problem with the Midas head. I recently replaced a torn vacuum tube that goes on the zfib card. The machine worked perfectly for a day and a half but now MY12 has completely stoppe

robgd3, The Z motor can be purchased separately, however, the theta motor can't. You need to buy the whole midas head. I didn't get as far as dissembling the theta motor casing to get to the theta motor. That was my worse case scenario. We ran thou
