Fanuc 390 - Chamfering data error

CHAMFERING DATA ERROR

Fanuc PS program alarm 390: CHAMFERING DATA ERROR. This alarm is triggered by an illegal or incorrectly formatted command in the part program, or a programming condition that the Fanuc control cannot execute.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 390 CHAMFERING DATA ERROR occurs when the control detects invalid chamfer or corner rounding parameters in a G01 block with ,C or ,R notation. This is typically caused by missing address values, negative chamfer values, chamfer sizes exceeding the available move distance, or incompatible command combinations in the programmed block.

Safety

  • Verify corrected program or parameters before resuming machining

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Locate the alarm block number in the program display and examine the G01 line for ,C or ,R notation.

  2. 2

    Verify that the chamfer value after ,C or radius value after ,R is present and is a positive number (e.g., G01 X50. Y50. ,C5. not just ,C).

  3. 3

    Check that the chamfer/radius value is not larger than the programmed move distance in either axis—the value must be smaller than the actual linear distance traveled.

  4. 4

    Correct the value or remove the chamfer/radius command if not needed, then reset the alarm and restart the program from a safe position.

    Always verify tool position before restarting after program edits to prevent crashes.
