Issue Description & Safety Warning
The Chiron Siemens-Control CNC has triggered a critical Tool not present or not correctly stored in magazine alarm. Immediate attention from a qualified operator or maintenance technician is required to prevent secondary damage to the equipment or spoiled parts during the manufacturing cycle. Always ensure standard safety and LOTO procedures are followed before accessing electrical cabinets.
Official Troubleshooting Steps
A tool change was programmed, but the corresponding tool is not present in the magazine or was incorrectly stored in. The corresponding bit "Tool place correctly occupied" is not set. 1 = Magazine place correctly occupied. 0 = Tool not present or not correctly stored in. The tool change is stopped and is not carried out further. 1. Tool change must be aborted. 2. Move to home position with the [TOOL CH HOME POS.] key. 3. In manual mode, move the corresponding magazine place to the loading position and check. 4. If a tool is present, remove it and store it in correctly. 5. If a tool is not present, then check the tool change call, since a place without a tool cannot be called. Error messages Tool change Tool not present or not correctly stored in magazine If a tool change without tools should be required on the machine, this can be activated via a "machine parameter" (e.g. when loading via the spindle).
