I agree with SirTec. Conflicts with other magazines slotted into machine often cause un reckognized magazine errors elseware. You can also try to re seat the first pair of MOT driver cards in computer this is whare mag data is stored. Also a loose ca

Interesting, it seems the theta error followed the ZFIB board, running the machine with the original theta error and using the ZFIB board from the second machine since Thursday, no errors since...will continue to evaluate and post results...

Theta error came back again during our first production run. Swaped motcards as a final attempt to find an easy fix and nothing. I swapped heads with another MYDATA to positively isolate the problem. And the theta error followed the head.

So just to update and close this thread, it was the ZFIB board ( the one mounted on top of the theta motor) that was causing the theta motor to error out) Problem fixed. $ 30 dls or so from MYDATA. Hope this helps some one down the road.

Well before you totally give up on the midas head, you may wanna try changing out the ffx board/cable on it to make sure the one in there isn't binding once in a while and giving you your theta errors.

New ZFIB board installed today. Running ok, theta error has not appeared yet. Will post updates as we continue to evaluate.

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

I can't remember what motor control cards in the machine are interchangeable, but if the controller card for the theta axis is a common control card then you can swap out the one currently controlling the theta axis with a different axis and see if t
