PS035

Navigate to OFFSET/SETTING > GEOMETRY or OFFSET screen and verify the tool geometry offset number called in the G41/G42 block. Check that the radius value is appropriate for the programmed path dimensions.

Review the part program at the alarm line. Measure the linear distance of the move segment causing PS035. Confirm tool radius is at least 10-20% smaller than the smallest programmed move or arc radius in the compensation section.

Check Parameter 5004 (G40 cancel check) and Parameter 5006 (interference check level). Setting 5006 bit 0=1 enables strict interference checking. Temporarily set bit 0=0 to allow marginal conditions if appropriate for your application.

Disabling interference checking (Parameter 5006 bit 0) may allow tool gouging conditions. Use only after verifying toolpath is acceptable.

Modify part program to increase move distances, reduce tool radius offset value, or insert intermediate points to create longer segments that accommodate the compensation vector calculation.

Examine the G41/G42 activation block in the program. Verify that the compensation command is on a linear G01 move (not G00) of sufficient length. The startup block must contain X/Y/Z movement and tool offset number (D__ or H__).

Check Parameter 5003 bit 1 (compensation mode selection). Bit 1=0 is conventional mode, bit 1=1 is extended mode. Extended mode (Type C) provides more tolerance for marginal startup conditions. Consider enabling if currently disabled.

Verify G40 cancel block has adequate lead-out linear move. The compensation cannot be cancelled on or immediately before an arc or complex angle. Insert a straight linear move of at least 2x tool radius before G40.

Check Parameter 5001 bit 6 (interference check at compensation cancel). If bit 6=1 and geometry creates interference during G40 cancel, PS035 may occur. Review toolpath geometry at cancel point.

Identify the program line causing PS035 and check the angle formed between the current move and previous move. Calculate the included angle - if less than 90 degrees on the inside of the cut, the compensation vector creates interference.

Check for duplicate coordinate points or zero-length moves. Search program for consecutive blocks with identical endpoint coordinates (e.g., two sequential G01 X10.0 Y20.0 blocks). Remove duplicate blocks.

Review Parameter 5002 (corner override/deceleration parameters) and Parameter 5006 bit 1 (acute angle check). Bit 1=1 enables strict acute angle interference detection. If geometry requires acute angles, insert arc blends or chamfers at corners.

Modify toolpath to eliminate acute inside corners by adding radius blends (G02/G03) or repositioning geometry. Alternatively, reduce tool radius to allow compensation calculation, or split the move into multiple segments with intermediate points.
