I have learned over the last few years also not to let mastercam do all the programming for you. You will forget some useful shortcuts and mastercam likes to give you 25 lines of code when it could...

Our programs were written in mastercam 9 and now we only have mastercam X. My question is when I try to print off a setup sheet from a file written with 9 while using X I get an error and it doesnt...

Im a little rusty on lathes, but will give it shot. Im used to running a hl2 so it may not be the same. I usually just press f1 which is distance to center when you are touching off the tool you are...

Sounds low to me also. Usually on 460 volt 3 phase its 277 volts to ground with a range of 260-285 volts from what I have personally seen. I would check the voltage at your main circuit panel also....

410 volts sounds a little out of range. Im thinking the voltage should be in the range of 440-480 volts. Is the voltage the same going into the phase converter? What is the voltage from each leg to...

Did you check the leds thats on the processor board? They light up as the processor runs checks on the system. I can get the sequence from our hs1 manual if you dont have it. They will give you an...

Have you tried hitting f1 to input the number? On our hs1 I have to press f1. If I hit enter it will add the number to what is already there.

Man some guys have it all. A Haas at home in the shop has to be soo nice. Can you tell what sort of products you are going to be making?

I think I found the solution. Does pressing f2 to get x offset to centerline sound right? Im gonna give it a try. Still looking for any advice though.

I need some advice on how to get the x and z offset for a drill and tap. I remember how to get the turning and facing tools, but cant remember the drills and taps. The machine is a HL2 lathe. Thanks

Does the Tool changer move out at all when you try to power up? I recently had to change a tool changer door switch. I did the power up restart and when the tool changer moved out to zero I hit the...

Thanks that did the trick.

How do I go about finding the total hours on a hs1? I can find the resetable one, but not the other one.

Is there a parameter that can be adjusted to control the speed of the pallet change? We have three machines and two of them change slow and smooth and one seems to be way to fast and really hits...

Forgot to say the number of the processor is 68EC030 running at 40 MHz with 128k eprom.

Thanks for the reply Loose Nut. I have did a little troubleshooting and it looks like youre correct. The halt led is on on the microprocessor board which the manual says means that there is a serious...

I was running the machine and it ran the m50 at the end and rotated the pallet and the control froze and wouldnt respond to pressing any buttons. I powered it down and upon restarting the screen...

Thanks for the good advice. It doent have the hard drive option so I will try to overwrite the program with a new one and see what happens.

I have a corrupt program that shows on the program list with an exclamation point beside it and it causes and alarm when I first turn on the machine or send a different file to the machine. It will...

Thanks alot that clears things up a bit. The setup sheet does say to touch all the tools off of the surface of the fixture and sweep a predrilled hole to get x and y work piece offset. It didnt...

The reason for asking is this. The person who programmed the part has moved on and I have never set up any parts that he has programmed. The setup guy went with him too. So is there any way that I...

Where do you guys generally get this measurement from using a hs1 ( z axis measurement)? I got the x and y but dont know what to do with the z.

Yeah maybe my first wont be to expensive. At least my first few jobs are on delrin which should be more forgiving.

Thanks I found all that I needed to know there.

I have been a manual machinist for 8 years and now have the chance to move onto a haas hs1 if I can catch on quickly, but I need help. Can someone give me a walk through of a part setup on this mill?...
