Renishaw ballbar test on a Daewoo ace v 400

[shreddituk]

I want to carry out a Renishaw ballbar test on a Daewoo ace v 400 with a Fanuc 18 control, but to carry out the test I need to use a G01 with a feed rate, but the machine will not feed with out me first putting in a spindle direction (m03) and a speed in the program, please can some one let me know to get round this issue with the programming or is there a parameter that needs to be changed many thanks

Look at your g code list . Use MDI to change from FPR (feed per rev) to FPM (feed per minute)

Try using an M84, this should allow you to move in G1 without the spindle on.

look in your keep relay book. There is a bit that allows you to feed without the spindle running. Iv used it to set up check probes.
