Navigate to Diagnostics > Parameters > Axis Parameters for the affected axis. Verify MD32100 (Axis min limit) and MD32101 (Axis max limit) against machine mechanical limits and workpiece geometry. Check if limits are symmetric or if one direction is excessively constrained.

Do not modify limits without consulting machine documentation; incorrect limits can cause hardware collision.

Cross-reference the target point coordinates from the NC program block %2 with the axis travel range. Calculate whether the swivel angle change requires additional axis travel beyond current limit definitions.

Expand software limit switch range by adjusting MD32100 and MD32101 if machine mechanics permit, or restructure the program to approach the target point with a pre-swivel repositioning to ensure intermediate positions remain within limits.

Verify MD32110 (Max. axis velocity) and MD32120 (Max. axis acceleration) are properly tuned; insufficient acceleration can cause overshoot prediction errors in the E_SP_RP cycle that trigger false limit violations.

In the NCK menu, check active tool offset values (DL/DH length/diameter compensation) and swivel/rotary axis offset parameters (MD26040 - Tool offset vector X, MD26042 - Tool offset vector Z for swivel axis). Confirm values match physical tool geometry and machine calibration.

Incorrect offsets cause systematic position errors; verify with machine geometry measurement before applying.

Review the E_SP_RP cycle source code (Siemens standard cycles library) or custom cycle definition. Verify the transformation matrix accounts for all active axes and uses correct kinematic chain parameters from MD20050 (Kinematic type) and related transformation parameters.

Test the target point with the swivel axis in neutral (0°) first to confirm the XYZ position is within limits. Then incrementally increase swivel angle to identify at which rotation angle the limit violation begins.

If swivel angle is approaching machine limits, check MD32100/MD32101 for the rotary axis and ensure the swivel angle range in the NC block (AROT, TROT, or swivel-specific parameter) is within the machine's ±limits defined in these parameters.

Visually inspect the machine at the target block position. Manually move axes to near the target point and attempt the swivel command at reduced feed rate (G0/G1 with reduced F parameter) to verify if mechanical interference occurs before the software limit is reached.

Ensure machine is in manual mode (JOG) and emergency stop is accessible before manual movements.

Examine the NC program logic: check if the target point can be repositioned slightly (±1-5mm) in XYZ while maintaining tool orientation. Use FRAME or coordinate transformation instructions to shift the approach path outside the interference zone.
