No additional tool edges available

Siemens SINUMERIK alarm 104002: No additional tool edges available. This alarm indicates a required configuration element, parameter, or program component is missing or has not been set up.

Root Cause Summary

Alarm 104002 occurs when the CNC program attempts to use or create a tool edge that exceeds the maximum number of edges configured for that tool in the tool management system. The system cannot allocate additional cutting edges beyond the defined limit for the tool identifier.

Safety

  • Refer to Siemens documentation
  • Ensure qualified technician performs repairs

Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Access tool management and display the tool data for the affected tool number shown in the alarm details.

  2. 2

    Check parameter $TC_DP2[tool,0] (CENAME - maximum number of edges). Verify if all available edges are already defined.

  3. 3

    If more edges are needed, increase the CENAME value to accommodate additional tool edges (typical range 1-9 depending on tool type).

    Increasing edges will require corresponding geometry and wear offset data for each new edge.

  4. 4

    Save tool data, reset the alarm, and rerun the program from a safe position to verify the correction.
