Having Issues getting G code file to run

Without the code you are talking about, no-one can assist.

If the line it is on is a pause ( M1 M0) it will sit there forever until you resume it.

Likewise, if it is a conditional test which is never satisfied or if waiting for an input that does not occur.

So no, it is not normal, there is something wrong with the code.

regards

I have hit the continue button several times and nothing is going on. I have one of the files that I would like to cut for my nephew to make him a key fob in aluminum bar that I have and I'm having problems getting it to run. If someone could take a look at the file and tell me where the problem is I would deeply appreciate it. It is very frustrating for me at the moment.

Thanks.....Terry

I don't know where the "continue button" is in Axis but the "Run" button (5th from the left) works for me. So far it has ran 800 lines of code in the Axis simulator.

Is the Axis program and EMC2 the same? Or is there something I need to do to get the file to run in EMC2?

Hi

The code starts immediately with a line including M6 T1

This is completely unnecessary, there are no other tool changes in the code, I would hope you would have the cutter required loaded before you started the program

What may be happening is that the toolchange dialog is hidden by the Axis window, because you were still clicking on Run when it appeared and giving focus to Axis

So it will just sit there, waiting for input to a window you cannot see.

Alt Tab should bring it to the fore, or better still delete the M6 T1 bit and it should run fine

regards

Finally Success.....Thanks so much for the help guys. I removed the M6 T1 from the command line and did a save and load command and then hit run and it took off and ran all the way to the end. You can't imagine how happy I was to see this mill run. A little later this evening I'm going to put a piece to aluminum stock in the vise and make my first CNC cut on this machine and I can hardly wait to watch it go. In the future I will be watching for this command and remove them in the beginning. Again......THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
