Okuma Alarm D-4854 – Loader Interference
The alarm D 4854 – Loader Interference occurs when the loader system is reset in MANUAL mode while another loader alarm (for example A 1863 – Loader Interference) is still active or pending.
The machine detects a position or interference conflict in the loader mechanism.
