My100 hydra issue with 6 and 8 | 10 April, 2025

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why only heads 6 and 8 are placing parts incorrectly? It does not matter which nozzles I use; it will randomly place them off. Right now, I have both heads disabled. I am not sure what to start checking.

Have you ran the hydra head calibration on all 8 heads? If you did but still having similar issue, then you might have a slightly bent hydra tool(s).

Yes I can give you the answer. The Hydra head is a machanical/electrical unreliable turd.

I had these at my previous job and saw minimally 4 Hydra heads get replaced under warranty. I wont even go into the "Midas" head or the linescan cameras or the MOT cards.

Check the condition of the o-rings on the nozzle shafts. Also make sure the theta belt and shafts are free of oil or grease.Past that you may have a calibration issue.
