HEIDENHAIN 600-02D9 - No tool found. Use a left-hand tool to machine the front side and a right-hand tool to machine the rear.
HEIDENHAIN alarm 600-02D9 occurs when the Automatic Workpiece Geometry (AWG) optimization function cannot find suitable tools in the tool table for the programmed machining operations. The system requires specific tool orientations (left-hand for front side, right-hand for rear side) but finds no compatible tools after optimization analysis.
600-02D9
HEIDENHAIN 600-02D9 - No tool found. Use a left-hand tool to machine the front side and a right-hand tool to machine the rear.
No tool found. Use a left-hand tool to machine the front side and a right-hand tool to machine the rear.
No suitable tool was found for the automatic workpiece generation. This may be due to incorrect tool geometry parameters or unsuitable tool types.
Root Cause Summary
HEIDENHAIN alarm 600-02D9 occurs when the Automatic Workpiece Geometry (AWG) optimization function cannot find suitable tools in the tool table for the programmed machining operations. The system requires specific tool orientations (left-hand for front side, right-hand for rear side) but finds no compatible tools after optimization analysis.
Safety
- Refer to Heidenhain service manual
- Ensure qualified technician performs repairs
Causes and Fixes
- 1
Access Tool Table
Press TOOL TABLE key, select active tool table, and review Q199 TOOL_ORIENT parameter for all relevant tools.
Q199 values: 0=neutral, 1=right-hand, 2=left-hand, 3=both orientations
- 2
Verify Tool Orientation Settings
Check that front-side operations have tools with Q199=2 (left-hand) and rear-side operations have Q199=1 (right-hand).
Incorrect orientation can cause collision during automatic tool selection
- 3
Update Tool Parameters
Modify Q199 TOOL_ORIENT values to match machining requirements and save tool table changes.
Use Q199=3 for tools that can machine both sides if geometry permits
Call a technician if:
- ·AWG machine parameters need modification beyond operator access level
- ·Persistent alarm after tool table corrections
- ·Suspected AWG software malfunction
Prevention
- Maintain complete tool geometry data in tool table
- Regularly verify Q199 tool orientation parameters
- Use AWG simulation mode to validate tool selection before production
Common Mistakes
- Assuming neutral tools (Q199=0) work for oriented operations
- Incomplete tool geometry causing AWG rejection
- Not considering tool reach requirements for front/rear side access
