Machining Area Unavailable (Tool Too Large)

What does 3503 mean?

This MC alarm (specific to Series 30i) indicates that no machining area can be utilized. The issue stems from the tool specified in the machining program being too large for the designated machining area, making the operation impossible.

• Tool holder or spindle attachment interferes with the workpiece or fixture.
• Machining program designed for a different tool size or type.
• Incorrect tool length or radius offset entered (e.g., P10-02).
• Collision detection system has identified a potential conflict.
