3003

Machining Area Unavailable (Tool Too Large)

This P/S alarm indicates that there is no area available for machining. The root cause is that the tool specified in the machining program is excessively large for the designated machining area, preventing the operation from starting or completing correctly.

3004

Number of Cuts Exceeded Limit

This P/S alarm indicates that the number of cutting operations specified in the program has exceeded the allowable limit. This can lead to excessive machining time or an attempt to perform more cuts than the system or part geometry can support.

3005

Invalid Machining Start Point

This P/S alarm indicates that the machining start point defined in the program is invalid. This could be due to a coordinate outside the work envelope, an unreachable point, or a point that interferes with existing geometry, preventing the machining cycle from initiating correctly.

3006

Invalid Machining Area

This P/S alarm indicates that the machining area specified in the program is invalid. This issue typically arises from incorrect definitions of the part figure or blank figure within the machining profile, leading to an ambiguous or impossible machining boundary.

3007

Invalid Cutting Conditions

This P/S alarm indicates that the cutting conditions specified in the machining program are invalid. This often involves parameters like feedrate or spindle speed that are outside acceptable ranges or are incompatible with the current operation, preventing safe and effective machining.

3008

Finishing Not Possible

This P/S alarm indicates that the specified conditions prevent the successful completion of a finishing operation. This implies that the finishing program contains parameters or commands that are incompatible or insufficient for the desired outcome, risking an incomplete or incorrect finish.

3009

Machining Interference Occurred

This P/S alarm indicates that an interference has occurred during machining, such as the tool path colliding with the opposite machining area or an existing feature. A common cause is a cutter radius being too large for the defined machining area, posing a risk of tool breakage or part damage.

3010

No Machining Cycle Found (Figure Block Only)

This P/S alarm indicates that the control system could not find a valid machining cycle to execute. This occurs when the machining program specifies only a figure block without the necessary accompanying machining type block, making the intended operation undefined.

3011

No Machining Cycle Found (Unavailable Cycle)

This P/S alarm indicates that an unavailable machining cycle has been specified in the program. This typically suggests that the necessary software options for this particular machining cycle have not been added or activated on the machine, preventing its execution.

3012

G-Code Combination Invalid

This P/S alarm indicates that G codes specified in the program cannot be combined as programmed. Specifically, a figure block has been paired with a machining type block that is not compatible or available for that figure type, leading to an invalid operation sequence.

3013

Invalid Arbitrary Figure

This P/S alarm indicates that the arbitrary figure specified within the machining program is invalid. This could be due to incorrect geometry, missing data, or parameters that define a figure that cannot be processed by the control system.

3014

Invalid Figure Data

This P/S alarm indicates that the figure data specified in the machining program is invalid. This refers to the specific numerical or geometrical data defining a shape or profile, which might be incorrect, incomplete, or outside permissible bounds for the control system.

3017

NO M-CODE BEFORE TAP CYCL

This P/S alarm occurs when a parameter for the M code associated with either a counter tapping command or a normal tapping command is unset (zero) before the tapping cycle begins. This prevents the control from outputting the necessary M code, which is critical for spindle rotation or other pre-tapping operations.

3503

Machining Area Unavailable (Tool Too Large)

This MC alarm (specific to Series 30i) indicates that no machining area can be utilized. The issue stems from the tool specified in the machining program being too large for the designated machining area, making the operation impossible.

3504

Number of Cuts Exceeded Limit

This MC alarm (specific to Series 30i) indicates that the number of cutting operations specified in the program has exceeded the allowable limit. This can lead to excessive machining time or an attempt to perform more cuts than the system or part geometry can support.

3505

Invalid Machining Start Point

This MC alarm (specific to Series 30i) indicates that the machining start point defined in the program is invalid. This could be due to a coordinate outside the work envelope, an unreachable point, or a point that interferes with existing geometry, preventing the machining cycle from initiating correctly.

3506

Invalid Machining Area

This MC alarm (specific to Series 30i) indicates that the machining area specified in the program is invalid. This issue typically arises from incorrect definitions of the part figure or blank figure within the machining profile, leading to an ambiguous or impossible machining boundary.

3507

Invalid Cutting Conditions

This MC alarm (specific to Series 30i) indicates that the cutting conditions specified in the machining program are invalid. This often involves parameters like feedrate or spindle speed that are outside acceptable ranges or are incompatible with the current operation, preventing safe and effective machining.

3508

Finishing Not Possible

This MC alarm (specific to Series 30i) indicates that the specified conditions prevent the successful completion of a finishing operation. This implies that the finishing program contains parameters or commands that are incompatible or insufficient for the desired outcome, risking an incomplete or incorrect finish.

3509
