I'm surprised MyData is pushing the service call. They're usually pretty good at walking you through some troubleshooting steps before going straight to the service call. So, the failure sounds like an encoder failure; the encoders are attached to

Hi, Rebecca, Hmm...two x motors? I'm a couple of years removed from MyData's, but, I don't remember two x-motors. Might be something in the My12's that I didn't see in my older My9 (and certainly not in my TP9). As to the small board...unfortun

We recently scrapped our TP9-2U because of an issue similar to this. The X-axis would overshoot the pick and place positions. This particular machine(2U)only has 1 X motor. The UFP's and the MY machines have a small fine positioning motor that is on

You should be able to see the counts in the service screen for the motors while testing them...that's usually the easiest way to see if they're functioning...at least the encoders. In some of the older systems, the drive motors were all the same, an

My focus has moved to the X motor itself. The one common factor in this paricular problem has been the time of year. The day was a particularly hot day with high humidity. Even though there is a "Xfan" connection on the PIAB board I do not believe th

It could very well be the Safety Relay located inside the ELMO PSU (Bottom left in computer cabinet). I just had the same problems on 2 MY9's within 2 months apart. the Part cost around $700.00 from Mydata (Now Mycronic). These fail commonly with old

I've heard that MyData is no longer supporting the TP's, so, getting a new motor might be a difficult proposition. If you can find the motor manuf/part number on the motor itself, you can likely find it on line somewhere...Google the p/n should do i

If you are not getting repeatable transducer readings then some possiblities are : 1. Transducer is bad 2. Motor is bad 3. Y power booster Also, I can't remember if the Y motor has a flex coupling on it or not. If it does, check that out. Also, w

I can't remember what motor control cards in the machine are interchangeable, but if the controller card for the theta axis is a common control card then you can swap out the one currently controlling the theta axis with a different axis and see if t

Bruce, Since we had spares, I replaced the X wagon cables, XFMB cable, nothing. FFX Cable, nothing. Swapped mot cards, nothing. Vaccum seal, nothing.At this point I truly believe the problem is either on the theta encoder or the theta motor. Unfortu
