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?

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.

So to sum up: you have no mechanical blockage, you have new motor and encoder. That leaves only two more parts(cable and Hydra Z-Controller).

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

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 am getting a F-MOT-MSEDYN HYDRA Z/156 error when I try to initialize Hardware on my My9. Interestingly though when I go into the "Service" program, I can initialize the Hydra Z with no problem. But when I try in TPSys, it doesn't pass and I get t

The fact, that your Hydra head goes up and then starts moving slowly, means that it didn't find the limit. Since there are no mechanical obstructions and you swapped all the boards, the things to look at are cabling. Double check the ribbon cables fo

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?

Another thing you can check is where the bar comes down off of the hydra z motor there is a little bearing you can see from the front make sure that bearing is turning even oil it up a little. You can also adjust the tension by loosening the tiny set

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
