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

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?

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

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

I agree, I'd try placing them with the midas or z-fi head depending what you have. Try using the mechanical centering in the zero angle with a low strength to move it straight. You'll probably have better luck finding a tool that will work on the hea

Hi all I am experiencing z force sensor errors on a couple of different nozzles ( not hydra ) any help appreciated.

What type of head do you have on your machine a midas head or a zi-fi head? Regardless of which you do have I would make sure that the head is clean where to tools go into the head. Use a soft swab or something similar so you do not damage the z forc

It is probably one of the Z lock solenoids not working properly. These are located along the Z axis and as part of the initiation of the machine, the Z measure the travel. Check the upper and lower Z locks

In calibration menu - I see coarse measurement of z unit offset, z-unit offset, measure hydra camera z level, coarse adjust hydra tool offsets, and measure hydra tool lengths 1 - 8 - would it be any of these that I should run?
