Heidenhain Wrong axis programmed alarm: Incorrect programmed probing axis

The TNC detects that the RANGE cycle probing axis does not match the probe's calibrated axis. It is an alarm from the Program area, and in the catalog it is listed as “Incorrect programmed probing axis”. On the machine you notice it like this: Falla en ciclo de palpado/digitizado, WRONG AXIS PROGRAMMED message, Palpador calibrado en otro eje.

On the shop floor it almost always comes from one of these causes: Eje de palpado incorrecto, Probe not calibrated for that axis, Post or cycle badly parameterised. Rule out the most likely one on your machine first, before touching parameters or swapping anything.

Reset after fixing the axis or recalibrating. Resetting without fixing the cause first only hides the problem: Heidenhain Wrong axis programmed trips again and, in the meantime, you keep working with the machine in bad shape.

With the machine stopped and in a safe state, start with these checks: Check the cycle axis, Confirm calibration of the probe, Simular movimiento. That alone will tell you whether it is the program or whether you need to raise a maintenance job.

With Heidenhain Wrong axis programmed active, avoid this: Do not start probing with a doubtful axis, Do not recalibrate without correct pattern. Skipping any of these points is what turns a minor stop into an expensive breakdown.

If the probe does not calibrate or the machine does not recognize the correct axis. If you are not sure how far it goes, stop the machine and report it: a repeat alarm always works out cheaper than a crash.

It is a stop alarm: the cycle will not continue until you fix the cause. It does not always mean serious damage, but it leaves the machine where it is and you have to check it before running again. Guidance reference. Always confirm the full text in the exact machine/control manual.
