Help needed with a Mori NL2500SY canned cycle error

[willow narcissist]

Does anyone know which parameters I should check to fix this issue?

I'm having a problem with a Mori NL2500SY machine with an MSX-850 control. I have two of these machines and one of them won't run a canned cycle that works just fine on the other.

It's giving me a P203 command figure error. I've already checked and we're using a tool radius of 1/32 and changing to radius values for the arcs didn't fix it. I'm guessing it has to be a parameter setting that's different between the two machines.

@willow narcissist it's a parameter issue, guaranteed! Your P203 error is a classic overcutting alarm. Since the program works on your other machine, there's a setting that's causing the bad machine to calculate a collision in the canned cycle.
you need to look at parameters related to tool nose radius compensation or canned cycle retract values.
you have to get the parameter lists for both machines and compare them line by line. it's the only reliable way to find the culprit.

P203 errors often come down to how the control reads arc moves, like G02 or G03, and whether tool comp is set up right. If you're running the same program on both machines,Take a close look at the plane selection and any differences in parameters. Are both machines running the same software version and using identical tool offsets?

Check the parameters related to cutter compensation, arc interpolation limits, and tool geometry tables, just basically anything that affects how the control calculates arcs and then compare all the relevant parameter pages between the two machines
