MYCRONIC Hydra Theta encoder signal noisy error | 30 March, 2022

I have an MY200DX mycronic pick and place machine. I recently started getting this error "F-MOT-MOVENICE HYDRA Theta2/1295: Encoder Signal is noisy". Has anyone else ever had this error? The machine will still run, but this error will pop up randomly. I checked all the cables and made sure everything was connected properly. I have a replacement theta motor and encoder, but before I take the head off and replace it I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. When I spoke with tech support at mycronic they made it seem like the encoders never go bad.

Check the Theta belt. Is it clean, not worn, no kinks? Are the tools rotating freely?

I forgot to mention in my original post, I actually replaced the theta belt and cleaned the head. All the tools rotate as they should. When I run the burn-in I get no errors. I can run the "test sub-systems" on the head in the service program and everything comes back ok. At this point i'm not sure what else it could be but the encoder or motor itself. Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate any help.

It could certainly be the motor and/or the encoder. They do go bad. The other thing to look at is the component/package. Does it happen with only one specific component/package? It might be corrupted data. That happens, as well. But, most likely it's the motor/encoder.
