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

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?

I swapped out the cable with no luck. The Hydra Z controller is the board on the right side of the Hydra head with everything plugged into it right?

We have been working on an intermittent error on our hydra. And it seems to happen only after several hours of production have passed, it doesn't happen during the first part of the shift. Our hydra goes from working fine for several hrs to making

That error means your hydra z did not reach it's specified position. With the machine on you should be able to manually push the hydra down and let it come back up. Make sure it isn't being held up or hitting anything as goes down. Lots of times a pa

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

I swapped the mi boards with ones from a working My12 machine and the same results. To recap my problem: On "Hardware Initialization" the center jaws open and close, the Hydra Theta belt moves back and forth, the Hydra head moves all the way down an

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

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.

I cleaned and re-greased everything on the Hydra head and I even changed the motor and encoder and it still gives me the timeout error Z/156. Where do I look now? My machine has been down now for 3 weeks.
