Safety
Causes and Fixes
Check active coordinate system
Press MANUAL DATA INPUT, then MOD function, check which coordinate system (G54-G59) is active and verify the preset values in the PRESET TABLE.
Use the ACTUAL POSITION display to see both workpiece and machine coordinates simultaneously
Verify preset table entries
Access PRESET TABLE via MOD function, check if the active preset (REF column) has reasonable offset values that don't push the working envelope beyond machine limits.
Never modify presets without proper workpiece setup verification
Recalculate workpiece position
Use PRESET function to establish a new workpiece datum closer to machine center, ensuring adequate clearance from positive limits defined in MP91x.x parameters.
