Access tool table

Press MOD key, select 'Tool table' from machine operating mode menu to access tool management.

Use F4 'All tools' to see complete tool inventory

Verify tool geometry

Check columns L (tool length), DL (delta length), and R (radius) for the selected tool number referenced in %1 parameter.

Negative DL values will reduce effective tool length

Measure tool length

Use 'Tool measurement' softkey or cycle TCH PROBE 31 to automatically measure and update tool length parameters.

Enable 'Write to tool table' option in measurement cycle

Validate plunging depth calculation

Check that L + DL value provides sufficient reach for programmed Z-depth plus safety clearance.

Consider spindle nose to table distance in calculation

Access machine parameters

Enter MOD mode, select 'Machine parameters' and navigate to AWG-related parameters (typically MP7xxx series).

Parameter changes require machine parameter enable key

Check AWG safety parameters

Verify MP7410 (AWG safety clearance) and MP7411 (minimum plunging depth) are not set too conservatively.

Default safety clearance is typically 2-5mm depending on machine

Review optimization settings

Check MP7420 (tool optimization enable) and related parameters that control automatic tool selection criteria.

Disable optimization temporarily to isolate the issue

Validate measurement position

Verify AWG measurement position parameters allow sufficient tool extension for accurate measurement.

Incorrect measurement position can damage AWG probe

Identify problem tool

Note the tool number shown in %1 parameter of the alarm message and locate corresponding T number in NC program.

Use 'Find' function (CTRL+F) to search for tool calls

Verify tool call syntax

Check that TOOL CALL format follows 'TOOL CALL [tool number] Z S[spindle speed]' syntax in NC program.

Missing Z parameter in tool call can cause geometry calculation errors

Confirm tool table entry

Verify the called tool number exists in tool table with complete geometry data (L, R, R2 if applicable).

Use 'Tool usage test' to validate all program tool calls

Check tool status

Ensure tool status in tool table is not set to 'Locked' or 'Expired' which would make it unavailable for selection.

Status column shows tool availability with color coding

Test AWG probe function

Execute manual probe test from 'Manual operation' mode using 'Probe functions' softkey menu.

Ensure no tool is in spindle during probe test

Check probe signal

Verify AWG probe input signal in PLC status display - should show stable OFF state when not contacted.

Probe LED should be steady, not flickering

Clean probe surfaces

Clean AWG probe contact surfaces and measurement area with appropriate cleaning solution and lint-free cloth.

Power down spindle and ensure no automatic movements during cleaning

Verify probe positioning

Check that AWG probe is properly positioned and secured, with correct height relative to table surface.

Probe should be perpendicular to spindle axis within 0.01mm
