Tool changer might not be in home position. But you need electrical diagrams to check.
If there is no alarm in the spindle unit, I would not think you have a problem in there. Do you have a photo of the machine?

Re: Tool Changer Interlock
Thanks for the idea, I will give it a try,.The WD 40 is pretty magic stuff. I have not written the parameters down and I know I need to take the time to.
Thanks Machinehop5

One more question if I could DJ, How do you properly enter and store a program into memory on this machine? Is it done in MDI and how does it get labeled and become a stored program?
Thanks,
Scott

To enter a program : Edit mode, (edit key = off position) . There must not be any alarms. Program page : O (letter o) and the number of the program. [Insert]. And you start writting . But it is better if you first write the program in your computer (using Office WORD) and then you uploaded into the CNC.

Thanks DJ, Your talking to a real novice here when it comes to Fanuc. I tried this in MDI mode which is the only place it seems to want input, but it is just a one time run in rapid the same as if I am only trying to do a single time input. It does not save. Could you be more specific on where to enter (MDI)? or other. What all the steps are. Would be great if you could just show me a complete entry to enter a program for a single axis move that shoud be stored in memory when entered?
Thanks,
Scott

Thanks Alex, I will give it a try.

Thank you for the directions Alex. I was able to enter, store and run a couple of simple programs.. I feel like I almost have a somewhat usable mill. It will not however run anything in feed rate or interpolation but only in percentages of rapid straight line moves. If I try to enter a G01 and F code, the screen just runs through the code real fast and there is no axis travel and no alarm given. Can you think of anything to check?
