3505
Invalid Machining Start Point
Fanuc · Series 0i Manual Guide
What does 3505 mean?
This MC alarm (specific to Series 30i) indicates that the machining start point defined in the program is invalid. This could be due to a coordinate outside the work envelope, an unreachable point, or a point that interferes with existing geometry, preventing the machining cycle from initiating correctly.
Repair Steps
- 1
Modify the machining program to specify a valid and reachable machining start point.
- 2
Alternatively, modify the machining program to enable automatic determination of the start point by the control system.
