mazatrol pc-fusion 640 error....

[monkei]

i've been programming this machine for a while and have not run into this one...
"alarm 705 approach point error"
I checked the programming manual or whichever one it was and found an alarm list which did not include 705.
the machine is a vtc 200b.
i tried entering in coordinates and using autoset values. i dont know what the hell the problem is, all im trying to do is a simple line in/circle to make softjaws.

im also getting a 704 tool interference error that im not sure how to fix. this alarm is also not in the book.

[monkei]

the 704 error had to do with having my toolpath overlap the beginning of the cut when it finished. odd. still dont know whats up with the 705.

This is from my alarm book......

705 Approach Point Error
Cause..... The approach point cannot be obtained
Action..... Reduce the tool diameter, the approach amount (parameters E1, E2) and/or the overlap amount (parameter E21).


I don't use mazatrol for mills. Hope this helps....
