Hi

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to trouble shoot this problem, we've got one of our machines running, sort of, getting error 1300, which is a feeder fault, no stock in the feeder but it seems to work just fine. Machine is homing fine, everything works except the spindle won't start.

If we unplug the feeder then it gives an error as well.

Is there a parameter that needs to be set to get the machine working without bar stock being loaded? I've seen machines work without bar stock, or is this an actual problem?

The Fanuc tech doesn't think it's a physical problem with the machine, but nobody here has swiss machines though so they have no specific experience with auto-loading feeders or swiss machines.
