Measuring axis (rotary axis 1 or 2) not in basic or intended position

What does 61429 mean?

This alarm indicates that a rotary measuring axis is not in its expected basic or intended position during measurement operations. Error codes 'A' and 'B' relate to rotary axis 1 and 2 not being in basic position on the first measurement. Error codes 'C' and 'D' indicate that rotary axis 1 or 2 are not in their intended positions during subsequent measurements. This can cause inaccurate measurements, leading to incorrect machining outcomes and potential scrap parts.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

1. 1

   Verify and physically position rotary axis 1 or 2 to its basic position for the first measurement if error codes 'A' or 'B' are present.

2. 2

   For second or third measurements, check parameters _OVR[63 to 65] for rotary axis 2 (error code 'C') to ensure it is in the intended position.

3. 3

   Similarly, check parameters _OVR[60 to 62] for rotary axis 1 (error code 'D') to ensure it is in the intended position for subsequent measurements.
