Machining Interference Occurred

What does 3509 mean?

This MC alarm (specific to Series 30i) indicates that an interference has occurred during machining, such as the tool path colliding with the opposite machining area or an existing feature. A common cause is a cutter radius being too large for the defined machining area, posing a risk of tool breakage or part damage.

• Two or more axes attempted to occupy the same space at the same time.
• Incorrect kinematic model or axis coupling in the controller.
• Rapid traverse move crossed into a prohibited zone.
• Part program error leading to unexpected tool movement.

   Modify the machining program to resolve the interference, potentially by adjusting the cutter radius, optimizing the tool path, or altering the machining area.
