Causes and Fixes

  1. 1

    Note the T-number from the alarm message and navigate to tool management (Offset → Tool List or Machine → Tool Management).

  2. 2

    Locate the specific tool number and check the 'Type' parameter field - verify it contains a valid tool type number (typically 100-999 for standard types).

  3. 3

    If tool type is missing or shows zero, enter the correct tool type based on your tool configuration (e.g., 500 for drill, 200 for face mill, etc.).

    Tool type definitions vary by machine configuration - consult your machine tool type table before assigning values.

  4. 4

    Save tool data, reset the alarm, and restart the NC program from a safe position.
