Z-force sensor is a tool travel indicator. It has nothing to do with Z travel. Does the Midas head move at all, during initiation? It sounds to me like a Z motor/encoder problem. Is the Midas head ribbon cable plugged in?

I checked it and there is no problem with the lubrication the cables are in good condition. The band feels a little loose I will try to make the adjustment to see if that is the problem.

Interesting. I will replace that cable and see what happens. I suppose there is a lot of movement it has to endure.

It's been a minute...but, does the My9 still have MOT boards in the computer cage? If so, swap the MOTz with the MOTx or MOTy, and see if the problem moves. If so, replace the motor controller board. If not, +1 on the encoder or Z-motor. Check fo

Thanks for the response. Yes, the z motor initializes in the service program just fine. It moves and reads a position. Also in the service program, I try to test the z force sensor and it gives me the same error - no z indicator at all. All cables ar

I have a used MyData My9 machine that I've picked up recently and it has a problem with initializing that I can't figure out. It just gives an error stating "no z indicator value at all". I've replaced the flex board with the force sensors but that d

Hi, I think there are two models of HYDRA, and is it for both? We exchanged the MY9 we had for a MY12, and they said it had a newer model of HYDRA that was easer to align, and maintain, and I wonder if that was part of it, or if this is still an iss

I was consulting the manual of the machine and to measure the tension of the x belt I need a frequency counter and two prisms but I don't have these tools, is there any other way to measure the tension?

You've replaced the sensors and cleaned any grease residue inside the Midas head, and you're still getting this error. You can check the connector on the little board, on top of the Midas, where the flex cable plugs in. I don't remember, off the t

Thanks. Yes, I replaced the ffx board with a new one and made sure everything is cleaned. I did check the flex cable connect as I removed all of that to test continuity between everything. It all checked out continuity wise. I also tried to disable t
