Error 0046 · CNC 8055 M
Message: Axis does not exist.
Detection
While editing at the CNC or while executing a program transmitted via DNC.
Cause
The possible causes are:
- When editing a block whose execution involves the movement of a nonexistent axis.
- Sometimes, this error comes up while editing a block that is missing a parameter of the "G" function. This is because some parameters with an axis name have a special meaning inside certain "G" functions. For example: G69 I...B....
In this case, parameter "B" has a special meaning after "I". If the "I" parameter is left out, the CNC assumes "B" as the position where the machining takes placeon that axis. If that axis does not exist, it will issue this error message.
Solution
The solution for each cause is:
- Check that the axis name being edited is correct.
- Check the block syntax and make sure that all the mandatory parameters have been programmed.
