CANNOT USE ORBIT MACHINING (WNo., NNo., BNo.)

What it means

1. G148 (orbit machining mode ON) was specified in an operation mode where orbit machining is not allowed. 2. G148 was specified in the G17 or G19 plane. 3. The current Y-axis position differs from the Y-axis coordinate of the center of rotation specified with G148. 4. G148 was specified in the second or subsequent control path. 5. G149 was specified in the orbit machining mode while G40 was not in the modal state.

What to do
  1. 11.
  2. 2Check the operation modes that allow orbit machining and cancel the operation modes where orbit machining is not allowed.
  3. 32.
  4. 4Specify G148 in the G18 plane.
  5. 53.
  6. 6Move the Y-axis to the center of rotation before specifying G148.
  7. 74.
  8. 8Specify G148 in the first control path.
  9. 95.
  10. 10Specify G149 while G40 is in a modal state.
