600-02F0

HEIDENHAIN 600-02F0 - No tool found. Please check centering angle.

No tool found. Please check centering angle.

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

Alarm 600-02F0 occurs when the Automatic Workpiece Gauging (AWG) system cannot find suitable tools due to incorrect centering angle parameters or tool geometry conflicts. The optimization routine eliminates all available tools because their centering angles don't meet the AWG measurement requirements.

Safety

  • Refer to Heidenhain service manual
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access Tool Table

    Press TOOL TABLE key, navigate to the problematic tool entry shown in %1 parameter.

    Use F4 to switch between different tool table views for better parameter visibility

  2. 2

    Verify Centering Angle Parameter

    Check column ANGLE or parameter T-ANGLE in tool table. Verify it matches actual tool tip angle (typically 118° for standard drills, 90° for chamfer tools).

    Incorrect angle values can cause workpiece damage during probing

  3. 3

    Update Tool Geometry

    Correct the centering angle value and press ENT to confirm. Ensure tool length and radius are also accurate.

    Use TOOL CALL to activate the corrected tool before running AWG cycle

  4. 4

    Test AWG Function

    Execute a test AWG cycle in single block mode to verify tool acceptance by optimization routine.

DIY Feasiblehigh confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·Machine parameter corruption suspected
  • ·Tool table backup/restore fails
  • ·AWG hardware malfunction indicated

Prevention

  • Maintain accurate tool table with complete geometry data
  • Regularly backup tool tables
  • Verify AWG cycle parameters match available tooling
  • Use consistent centering angle standards across tool inventory

Common Mistakes

  • Confusing tool tip angle with centering angle
  • Using generic tool table entries without proper geometry
  • Not updating tool parameters after tool changes
  • Mixing metric and imperial angle units
