No motion

I am working on building a Tsugami TMA8 model with Fanuc 18i controls.  I have lots of problems, but the one I am asking about is motion.  I can command my machine in MDI and move axis around.  It doesn't move at all when I run a program.  Any help would be great, I am brand new to this software and need a lot of help.
  Thanks,
     Eric

Re: No motion

I assume that your Tsugami machine has 2 channels. Do you have one of the channel (upper or lower) moving while the other one doesn't?

Look in the Status window for each channel, what is the feedrate? the feed mode (Feed per minute, feed per rev, etc...)? Is the spindle on? What is the RPM?

It is often that the NC program is in a Feed per revolution mode, but the spindle is not turned on. If the RPM is 0, the feed is 0.
