Siemens alarm 61216: Feed/tooth only possible with cutting tools
SINUMERIK function alarm · Siemens 840D/810D powerline
What it means
Feed-per-tooth was chosen as feed type although the active tool is not a milling tool, or the tooth count needed to convert fz into feedrate is missing. Feed per tooth is only meaningful for multi-edge rotary tools. Either switch the feed type or complete the tool data (number of teeth).
Likely causes
- Feed-per-tooth selected with a drill/turning tool active
- Number of teeth not entered for the milling tool
- Technology group mismatch between tool data and cycle
