I bought HAAS VF-2SS and I'm trying to make custom VPS template for easy and faster programming.
Is there a manual/tutorial for using excel template 'VPS Template.xls' witch already came with machine ?
For now I figure out how to put images, how to write code but I cannot figure how to get variables from machine, how to calculate variables etc.
Maybe someone know how to download existing VPS templates to PC/USB?
Did you ever figure this out?
I would like to hear more about this thread........
Sounds like you want
" I See, therefore a system can convert it to point-to-point G code and make what i envision"
I have been doing this for 40 years now. somebody has to do it .....
I can't get an existing VPS to a PC but i have made some custom Templates for me.
what do you want to do? Maybe i can help you
Hello,
I know this is an old thread but i'm really interested in programming my own vps codes.
We have a new Haas VF2-SS where I also found the template. On my own I found out how to make some simple vps programs with variables.
Does anyone have more documentation around this subject? How to program the vps like Renishaw/haas own programs?
hy alex, i don't have experience with haas, but i can help you with general informations, remote conversationals, etc :)

Hello, I also played a bit with the template.xml. Here is an example of a position macro with max. 5 positions.

The only thing I found was the template stored in the machine but I have no idea how to use the said template. If someone knows how to use the said template I'd be very grateful, I have a couple of different VPS templates I'd like to create.
you can upload the file again ?Quote:

Here is the example from the picture. Correct the file extension to .XML

Any update on this? We have gotten our VPS program to work, but not the images...
In the directory with the macro, a subdirectory for the images.
Attention! A dot in front of the name of the subdirectory hides the directory on the machine. Then you can no longer get to the pictures. At least I didn't make it.
The image size is 420 x 300 px. Format .png or .jpg
Can you send it again for me. And is your template tested and work?Quote:
