Siemens alarm 61212: Wrong tool type
SINUMERIK function alarm · Siemens 840D/810D powerline
What it means
The tool type coded in the tool data does not suit the operation the cycle is about to perform, for example calling a drilling cycle with a tool typed as a turning tool. Cycles evaluate the tool-type constant to pick kinematics and compensation behavior. Correct the tool type in the tool list or load a suitable tool.
Likely causes
- Tool created with wrong type code in the tool list
- Tool reused for a different operation than intended
- Type field overwritten during data import
