Hi, Brendan, It sure sounds like it to me. But, with the Z axis, there could be one other thing to check. On my old TP, there were z-locks...two pistons that pointed sideways around the head travel. Initializing the z-motors did not move the z-

Dear Rob, Got to the maintenance menu, under the Motor section, I selected Z motor and tried to initiate motor, there was no movement on the machine and I had the error message as below: F-MOT-MSETDYN Z/12: Position counter dead I suspect that ser

Dear Rob, Thank you for your quick response! There were Z locks on the Midas head area, 2 little solenoids like you mentioned. Previously I had the first error code (F-AXIS-C/9) and after fiddling around, randomly manual unlock the Z locks it came

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

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
