Have you ran the hydra head calibration on all 8 heads? If you did but still having similar issue, then you might have a slightly bent hydra tool(s).

Yes I can give you the answer. The Hydra head is a machanical/electrical unreliable turd. I had these at my previous job and saw minimally 4 Hydra heads get replaced under warranty. I wont even go into the "Midas" head or the linescan cameras or th

Hello all - so I got in the calibrate plate for hydra tool offsets - it completed the calibration - I then installed the first row of white tips with the menu - and the machine still does same thing it puts the tips away but makes a hitting type nois

Since you only saying it's the hydra error, then only run the hydra calibrations. Sometime the calibration can end up causing more issue if not run it correctly. I would do the hydra camera Z level (1st). If it fixes the issue then you no need to do

To me, it seems like there are slightly XY offset. Hydra might be able to pick up the tips, but not all the way securely attached to the hydra tubes. So, when the tips put back are not fully seated, which causing the tool stick inside the bank. You

Check the reference plate on the hydra to make sure it is not cracked or delaminated. I have had problems with the glue coming loose and the plate flapping causing this same problem. check hydra camera calibrations, this to may help.

How can I bypass the " Hydra force sensor can't calibrate" during the "Hardware Initialization" test. This is stopping me from starting the machine.

In calibration menu - I see coarse measurement of z unit offset, z-unit offset, measure hydra camera z level, coarse adjust hydra tool offsets, and measure hydra tool lengths 1 - 8 - would it be any of these that I should run?

You'll need the specific Mydata part. It has some specific dots and square printed on it. It should be in a box with other calibration parts, stuff which we do at least every 6 months. I attached an internet picture of the box that contains the diff

Hi all - my problem is a bit worse now - I can get all hydra tests to pass in extended service, except indicator levels at current 7 a bit high past 190 limit at ~210-220 - other than that hydra bank re-installs OK - but still it makes a bad hitting
