What it means

1. A command was given which is incompatible with the current mode of tool radius compensation for 5-axis machining. 2. An arc having central angle of 180° or larger was specified in a circular interpolation command (G2/G3) in the tool radius compensation mode for 5-axis machining. 3. A rotary axis was specified in a circular interpolation command (G2/G3) in the tool radius compensation mode for 5-axis machining. 4. The 5-axis fairing function was specified in the tool radius compensation mode for 5-axis machining.

What to do
  1. 11.
  2. 2Cancel the tool radius compensation for 5-axis machining if the command in question (a G-code or T-code) must absolutely be given.
  3. 32.
  4. 4For the circular interpolation command (G2/G3) in the tool radius compensation mode for 5-axis machining, specify an arc with the central angle of 180° or larger by combining arcs which have the central angle smaller than 180°.
  5. 53.
  6. 6In the tool radius compensation mode for 5-axis machining, a rotary axis command cannot be specified in a circular interpolation command (G2/G3).
  7. 74.
  8. 8In the tool radius compensation mode for 5-axis machining, the 5-axis fairing function cannot be specified.
