600-0302

HEIDENHAIN 600-0302 - No tool and turret data defined for entered slide number.

No tool and turret data defined for entered slide number.

A tool-related error occurred during automatic operation. The tool may have incorrect parameters or may not be suitable for the operation.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 600-0302 occurs when the TNC control cannot find valid tool and turret configuration data for the specified slide number in a multi-spindle or multi-turret machine setup. This typically happens when tool table entries are missing, turret parameters are undefined, or there's a mismatch between the programmed slide number and the configured machine geometry.

Safety

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

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access Tool Table

    Press MOD key, select 'Tables' and open TOOL.T table to verify tool entries for the slide number referenced in alarm.

    Use filter function in tool table to display only tools assigned to specific slide numbers

  2. 2

    Verify Slide Assignment Column

    Check column 'KINEMATIC' or 'SLIDE' in tool table and ensure tools have proper slide number assignments matching your machine configuration.

    Incorrect slide assignments can cause collision during tool changes

  3. 3

    Add Missing Tool Entries

    Create new tool entries with correct slide number assignment, tool length, and radius compensation values for the referenced slide.

    Copy existing tool entries and modify slide assignment to maintain consistent tool data structure

  4. 4

    Save and Reset Control

    Save tool table changes and perform control reset (END + 1) to reload tool management data into active memory.

DIY Feasiblehigh confidence

Call a technician if:

  • ·Machine parameter changes required beyond operator authorization level
  • ·Suspected hardware failure in turret position feedback system
  • ·Multiple related alarms indicating systematic configuration issues

Prevention

  • Maintain consistent tool table management procedures
  • Document all machine parameter changes
  • Perform regular backup of tool and turret configuration data
  • Validate NC programs in test mode before production runs

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming slide numbers start from 1 when machine uses 0-based indexing
  • Modifying tool table without updating corresponding turret parameters
  • Using slide numbers from different machine configurations
  • Forgetting to save and activate parameter changes after modification
