  1. Re: Tool Wear Compensation process question

    Kent,

    To be clear: I use the shank of an endmill, measure it to the tenth or maybe half a tenth if I think that's where it really is. I do that with a micrometer, use that for the keyed value...
  2. Re: How to clear the tool offset Probe Type column

    Are you wanting to do this for length only? What about insert cutters that don't indicate off the center? Don't you have to include all the rough dimensions in the tool table before it can do...
  3. Re: Tool Wear Compensation process question

    When you do the calibration of the presetter: make sure you've indicated it flat to the spindle with a tenths indicator if you can. Next, make sure you use a micrometer good to tenths to measure your...

    Re: Programming radius

    What kind of turning tool? You'll need to use a radius tool for that and you'll need to use cutter compensation to get accurate geometry.

  5. Re: Tool Wear Compensation process question

    He's using Renishaw probing on a Haas. The diameter values are loaded straight into the Geometry column. There are no problems unless he starts moving values around and changing things. Preset the...
  6. Re: Tool Wear Compensation process question

    No, you don't enter any adjustments or change anything. That's the whole point of having control compensation and the tool setter. Wear is zero unless you still aren't getting the size you need and...

    Re: Haas HRT9 Rotary and VF0 Mill Setup

    On the rotary degrees, no, it doesn't reset at 360. What if you were cutting a spiral that does three revolutions? Yes, if you command A720.0 it's going to do two full revolutions and stop....

    Re: Haas standard coolant filter

    I don't think a filter goes in there. It looks like a screen strainer and gravity trap. Chips go in, get tossed around, settle at the bottom and screened coolant goes out to the plumbing block. Not...

    Re: Haas VF0E homing problem

    Yeah, you'd know if you had the counterbalance. It includes a big gas cylinder and gauge mounted to the side of the column. So 2000 didn't have them either? I'm not crazy about the Z axis being at...

    Re: Haas VF0E homing problem

    It's always a good time to clean things out and do some housekeeping. On those stainless screws, do you know about galvanic corrosion? The stainless might corrode in the cast iron table. Coolant...

    Re: Haas VF0E homing problem

    I was saying to remove and completely swap the components from axis to axis. I haven't had to do this yet but, I assume the X and Y axes have the same cables, same motors, same switches. I'd swap one...

    Re: Haas VF0E homing problem

    Excellent and thorough reply. So we know it's a brushless machine and all the amplifiers are commonly available. That's good news.

    The messages on the screen may be significant and may not. I had...

    Re: Haas VF0E homing problem

    You said older but, that isn't enough. We need to know if this is a brush or brushless machine to start (what year on the ID plate?).

    Second bit of troubleshooting: most axis amplifiers and cables...
  15. Re: Haas mini mill won’t transfer files 232

    You've got me on this one. I'm going to guess you might need to go into your Parameters and look for the one that turns on / off the Ethernet Hard Drive option. I have never owned the option but, I...
  16. Re: Haas mini mill won’t transfer files 232

    His machine is from 2003. Completely different than what that manual describes. The networking isn't even close to being the same.
  17. Re: Haas mini mill won’t transfer files 232

    Two issues: the ethernet and the RS232

    Ethernet: go into the networking settings and clear out all the fields and turn off the networking option so it stops pinging. The machine is trying to...
  18. Re: SL20 reboot during spindle accel/decel, no alarm generated?

    Have you put a voltmeter on the 5V DC rail going into the board triple-stack and watched that value on a voltmeter when it does this? And then each of the 12V and -12V? It sure looks to me like the...
  19. Re: HAAS closed loop vector drive 30/40hp

    What year is the machine?

    When you start the spindle, are you watching the DC bus voltage on the Diagnostics screen? Does it go down on that screen or are you measuring it with a voltmeter as it...
  20. Re: HAAS closed loop vector drive 30/40hp

    Are you getting power straight from the city or are you on a phase converter?

    What is the incoming power measuring and which set of taps are you connected to? Is it close (bottom of the range)?
  21. Re: 1993 VF-2. Did they all come with 4th axis drives/wiring?

    This is probably long after the auction ended but, for future reference: I have some old Haas brochures and apparently--yes--they used to include the 4th axis wiring. I'm not sure what year that...

    Re: Vector Drive Problems!!

    Interesting. Thanks for posting that. I'm curious if your temperature and coolant levels were also showing incorrectly. My 2004 VF-2 blew something on the analog-to-digital circuit on the MoCon...
  23. Re: How to know if you have Macros option on your haas pre NGC

    Ehh, there may be a software parameter that has to be turned on as well. I've never seen it added to later machines. Early probing systems did everything as a series of Visual Quick Code templates. I...

    Re: SMINIMILL HE 2004 - Worth bying?

    The Ethernet Hard Drive option is kind of orphaned as far as connecting to it on a network is concerned. Either here or on another unnamed website, someone outlined all the problems they had with...
  25. Re: How to know if you have Macros option on your haas pre NGC

    To use probing you need these options enabled (all behind unlock codes): spindle orientation, macros, coordinate rotation and scaling. You also need the Renishaw probing 9000 series programs....

    Re: SMINIMILL HE 2004 - Worth bying?

    That control is no longer supported by Haas. I know: it's the same year as my VF-2 so this is going to be the tough love someone would tell me:

    If anything goes wrong with the electronics, you're...

    Yeah, it's lost its marbles. See how there is no model number? The battery either died or there wasn't a jumper battery installed when the onboard battery was being swapped. Lose the power...

    Re: Can I buy a HAAS from a different HFO?

    I am absolutely not excusing what has happened to you. In fact, I read this whole thread because I'm looking to move and the local HFO weighs heavily into my relocation decisions. I can cross Florida...
  30. Re: why does my Haas table move the wrong way while finding x home?

    Al the Man is probably correct. Mirroring the X axis in settings is only a crude way of making opposite-hand parts. It mirrors the program, not the machine. What you have is a problem with how the...
