FANUC 31i-A: Using Taster probe in program but machine throws spindle alarm

rbmgf7 said:

So I have a program where I can select a macro to call the Taster 3D probe in an HMC and feed into the part where I need to index. However, when I jump into my first G1, the machine alarms for "G1 command error, rotate spindle".

Yeah, I get it. Machine knows the spindle isn't on when it's feeding.

So how do I get around this? I DO NOT want the spindle on obviously.

Setup goes
G0 G90 G94 G98 G54

Tried M5 with nothing. Googled and got some weird suggestions.

Thanks.

Sometimes the MTB has a keeprelay to allow feed w/o M3/M4. Sometimes not. Sometimes an Mcode. Sometimes not. Have to check with them.

Why do you need G1 with a 3D Taster?

If its a Doosan M185(feed without RPM) then cancel off by M184(FEED WITH RPM).
