Sounds like one of the Z stops is not functioning or needs to be adjusted.

when the machine initiates the last move it does is in the Z axis. If memory serves me, during the last Z move it drives down and measures the stroke, if the lower solenoid is not fully retracted the axis measures the wrong travel limits. Hopefully t

Have you performed the maintenance? It might need grease, or there might be excess old grease, that's putting more friction on the Hydra Z. Check if there might be interference from the vacuum tubes or wires.

I cleaned and re-greased everything on the Hydra head and I even changed the motor and encoder and it still gives me the timeout error Z/156. Where do I look now? My machine has been down now for 3 weeks.

So to sum up: you have no mechanical blockage, you have new motor and encoder. That leaves only two more parts(cable and Hydra Z-Controller).

I swapped out the cable with no luck. The Hydra Z controller is the board on the right side of the Hydra head with everything plugged into it right?

Have you try doing initialization from service menu? Exit TPsys, type service -x and try to initialize only Hydra Z. See what error you get. Can be too much friction on the shaft. Run friction test

Hello, I have programmed SMT placement for Mydata My9 machines. I have ported programs between Mydata-to-Mydata machines. Also from Mydata to AOI machine for SMT inspection. Is there a way to port a placement program from Mydata to Panasonic MSH2

Thanks for reply we have found a blown fuse on the back plane for the mot-z pcb . But we now have problems with Z height, i am trying to auto-teach devices from the tray wagon (qfp etc) and it is not always lowering the nozzle to the component. i ha

Hello. Hoping to find help troubleshooting z axis issue. Initializes OK, and runs a bit sometimes not going all the way down to reach feeder, misses part and tries again, usually successfully, before ultimately stopping for "F-MOT-MOVE INDVACWAIT Z/2
