Safety
Causes and Fixes
Note the exact block number where alarm occurred and review the NC program line in the editor.
Check all numerical parameters in the flagged block against machine data limits (axis travels, max feedrate MD36200, max spindle speed MD35110).
Verify tool numbers exist in active tool management (T parameter) and magazine configuration data.
Correct the out-of-range value, reload the program, and test in single block mode.
Always verify machine data limits before modifying parameters to avoid mechanical collisions.
