Check Current Tool Angle Position

Press POS key to display current axis positions. Check the rotary axis values (typically A, B, or C axis) against the configured limits.

Use the REF position display to see exact angular values including any offset calculations.

Verify Machine Parameter Settings

Access MOD function, select machine parameters, and check MP7440 (min inclination) and MP7441 (max inclination) values.

Only modify machine parameters if you have proper authorization and documentation.

Manually Position Tool Within Limits

Use Manual mode to carefully jog the rotary axis back within the permitted inclination range before attempting automatic operation.

Enable soft limits display in the position window to see proximity to parameter limits.

Access Tool Table

Press TOOL TABLE key and navigate to the active tool number. Check columns for angular data (typically DL, DR, DU parameters).

Look for unusually large values or negative angles that seem incorrect for your tooling setup.

Verify Tool Orientation Values

Compare tool orientation parameters against known good tools. Check DL (length), DR (radius), and angular compensation values.

Incorrect tool data can cause collisions - verify all changes with setup documentation.

Reset or Correct Tool Data

Either restore tool data from backup or manually enter correct values based on tool setup sheets and machine configuration.

Use TOOL CALL 0 to deselect current tool before making corrections to avoid immediate recalculation errors.

Check Active Kinematic

Access Setup menu and verify the active kinematic description matches your machine configuration. Check kinematic parameters in MP24xxx series.

Document current kinematic settings before making any changes for easy restoration.

Verify Transformation Parameters

Review machine parameters MP24000-MP24999 for kinematic transformation data. Look for parameters that define rotary axis relationships.

Kinematic parameters are machine-specific and should only be modified by qualified personnel.

Reset Kinematic Transformation

If parameters appear corrupted, restore from machine backup or contact machine tool builder for correct kinematic data.

Perform a kinematic calibration cycle if available on your machine to verify transformation accuracy.

Check Reference Status

Press POS key and verify all rotary axes show proper reference status (no flashing position values or reference symbols).

Look for asterisk (*) symbols next to axis positions indicating loss of reference.

Perform Reference Run

Switch to Manual mode and execute reference point approach for all rotary axes using the REF key sequence.

Ensure tool clearance before referencing rotary axes to prevent collisions.

Verify Reference Point Parameters

Check machine parameters MP1410-MP1419 for reference point positions and MP1010-MP1019 for reference approach directions.

Compare current reference positions with machine setup documentation to ensure consistency.
