Hi,
what motion controller are you using?.
Its common practice for programmers to code a g31 move when they want to move to a given location without a probe contact. After all a g31 move behaves exactly like a g1 move
if there is no contact. Its a safe way to move a probe around,if it touches something the machine stops rather than carrying on and crunching the probe.
The problem with that is that many motion controllers consider a g31 move that DOES NOT result in a probe contact before its terminal location as a fault and Mach stops.
The ESS has a programmable feature that turns off the 'Signal a Fault' behavior in absence of a probe contact.
