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

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

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

Hey everyone, We use a MyData MY12 machine and we are experiencing a problem with the Midas head. I recently replaced a torn vacuum tube that goes on the zfib card. The machine worked perfectly for a day and a half but now MY12 has completely stoppe

have been through somethings with an engineer on the help desk and the concusion is that it is the z motor with the encoder that is causing the fuse to go so have ordered another. Not cheap though at nearly �500. Thanks very much for your help, it

If you're still having this problem, talk to Al at MyData about replacing the ribbon cable that is wrapped inside the head, and connected to the two LED's. It's a bit of a pain to replace this cable, but, it did fix the problem for us. The other po

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
