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

So, your Hydra Z message timed out... A couple of potential causes: 1. Hydra MOT card failure 2. Hydra z-motor failure 3. Hydra z-motor encoder failure 4. Hydra z-lock failure 5. Disconnected cable 6. X-wagon cable Start by booting into service mod

All of these components were replaced under warranty. I cant remember how long that was. I was working with the very first My12's. This machine was never reliable and there was always something broken. Anywhere I have ever been that had MY series mac

Thanks for the response, Rob. I tried the MOT cards and the problem did not move. I swapped the MOTY with the MOTX, but the MOTX had a small board attached to it that I moved to the MOTY that I tried. Do you know if there is a way to test that small

You dont mention if it is ONLY occuring with the A12 or is it other tools as well? Only spring tools or Stiff ones? Regardless of that, the small X Wagon motor is controlled by the track ball and the bigger X Axis motor is controlled by the joystic

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

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

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

We had both a MY15 and a TP11 both with tray wagons and we taped strips to the tray wagon all the time with great success. we used double sided tape, sometimes with magnets, and then created "trays" as if the tape strip was a matrix tray. (1 x 10,15
