Workpiece probe data incorrect or inactive

What does 61427 mean?

The tool data for the active workpiece probe is either incorrect or the probe itself is inactive. This prevents accurate measurement operations. The error code (%4) indicates if the workpiece probe (or tool edge) is inactive, or if the length L1 of the workpiece probe is set to zero.

• Workpiece probe tool data (e.g., T-number, D-number, probe length/diameter) in the tool management system is missing or incorrect.
• Workpiece probe is physically damaged (e.g., stylus broken, internal wiring fault) or not properly mounted/connected to the measurement system.
• Probe activation sequence or M-function for enabling the probe (e.g., M-code for probe power-on) is not executed or fails.
• Parameters for workpiece probe functionality (e.g., MD20070 for probe type, MD20080 for measurement speed) are incorrectly configured.
• Signal path from the probe to the NC (e.g., wireless receiver fault, cable break, PLC input module error) is interrupted or noisy.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   1. Check the tool management system for the active workpiece probe's T-number and D-number, verifying that all offset values (length, radius) are accurately entered.

2. 2

   2. Visually inspect the workpiece probe and its stylus for damage, and confirm it is securely mounted and clean.

3. 3

   3. Verify the M-function (e.g., M70, M71) or PLC output signal responsible for activating the probe, ensuring it is energized (e.g., 24VDC at the probe receiver).

4. 4

   4. Execute a probe calibration routine (if available) to test its functionality and update its offset data.

5. 5

   5. Check parameters related to the workpiece probe (e.g., MD20070 for probe type, MD20080 for probe measuring speed) against the probe's specifications.
