I'm having a problem with my Mydata My9 pick and place. Basically whenever I try to run the placement calibration program or try to have the machine find fiducials, or basically anything with precision, the machine displays a X MOT motor timeout erro

Hey All. I figured it out. It turns out that the problem was simply a loose coupler on the x wagon motor transducer. I had only checked one screw in the past but the other screw was apparently loose as well.

I forgot to mention that I've measured and adjusted the cog play on the x axis and so it is within range, if that applies.

Thanks! I just needed a response like that. I will do all that, and if it's still an issue, I'll change the x wagon encoder right? There are three encoders on the x wagon though? The white one on the x carriage, the white one on the x belt drive mo

Start with fundamentals: Disconnect, clean and reconnect all inner connections, bulk heads, ext. Disconnect, reconnect all connections at the controller. Check wiring harness for conductivity. Clean everything appropriately, lube ways, balls screws

Cant put a finger on it being an encoder that was just a single possibility. You can always hook up a scope to the encoder and see if they are working appropriately. I would look through the machine's utilities and see if there is some debug or more

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

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-

Start by getting into the maintenance menu, and manually installing the Servo program for all MOTs. If they install fine, you can check the Z-motor while you're in the maintenance menus. Make sure that the z-locks are unlocked before checking the
