NEW PROGRAM WILL NOT EXECUTE

Case #00756186

21FEB2024
New Program will not execute. I can calibrate probe tips and create new manual features. When I attempt to run, I get an immediate error message complaining about out of machine stroke limit on Z axis. May or may not be related but I noticed that the wrong probe shows that it is loaded every time a program is started. Noticed this on a program ran earlier today as well as the current program. Restarted the controller and computer and Shelled the program with no improvement.

PROGRAM. CAD and PRB Files provided to support

I can write a routine that will move the probe in DCC. If I write a routine that consists of manual moves it displays the error previously mentioned.
Error Message Text
ERROR CE# ,S%1 ,TR_CE ,0x1400304d Position out of the machine stroke limit on Z axis

Took a look at the Clearance Cube settings and noticed that one of the generic points had clearance cube turned on. No change in behavior.

Just for grins and giggles, I turned the Mode to DCC and wrote code for a small incremental move. CMM moved as expected and went on to the manual plane.

This is where the error message had been appearing. It didn't this time (yea) and the rest of the manual alignment executed. Went to DCC mode to do the DCC plane and the message reappeared. (sigh, @##%%$&^&*)

  • You said that you've checked clearance cube settings - have you also checked that you do not have any clear plane definitions BEFORE your manual alignment (for example: CLEARP/ZPLUS,10,ZPLUS,0,ON).  Defining a clearplane in Z from the STARTUP alignment would cause the error you are seeing because the machine would be trying to drive to a point that is above the home position.

    Having said that, however, I think the following statement...

    I noticed that the wrong probe shows that it is loaded every time a program is started

    ...is most probably related.  You need to make sure that the probe definition in the routine matches the probe you have physically attached to the machine.

  • There are no Clear Plane commands anywhere in the routine.  Confirmed by using the FIND command with the search term clear

    I deleted the probe file that was showing up instead of the correct one.  It had a + sign in the name and I didn't think PC DMIS would like that. :On ANOTHER routine the wrong probe name is showing up when you first attempt to run.  It is the name just below the correct name.. 

    I've restarted both the computer and control box several times over the past few days.  As noted before I can write a routine that only has DCC moves with no issues.  If I write a routine that only consists of manual touches then I get the error.
