Hey looking for some advice or if anyone has experience with the Aciera machines?

I have a line on a very clean Aciera F5. I've been looking for a Bridgeport but when I came across this I thought...

Hey so I noticed when I activate spindle orient the Chuck moves to position and then makes groaning sound. When I put hand on the Chuck I can feel the vibration. Like the indexer is trying to hold...

Yes exactly! It fooled me when the machine showed up I was expecting the roll away tray. But by that time it was too late. It frustrates me every time I have to do the whole dance lol

Thanks! Yeah I found the same situation. Its probably the worst for efficient cleaning i've seen but not impossible. I lust over the simply roll away sump on the ST20's. Why they couldnt figure that...

Just looking to do my first ST10 "integrated coolant tray" cleaning. I'm sure its well know that it is an awful design. That is reflected in the many Haas coolant management and cleaning videos that...

Hey there,

So I have a fairly new ST10Y. Been trying to rigid tap (non live tool) using the main axis. When I run the operation the Z axis looks like its doing its job correctly. But the Caxis...

I asked if the tech could reload the software. But he said theyre not allowed to do that. It has to be done at Haas. Then they resell it refurbished. Im based in canada. So with tax and conversion...

Thanks Jim, I gave that a try and nothing. In the end I had a tech come in. And we confirmed that the board is fried. So 12k later I have a new one. Note that returning the old one will half that...

Thanks for the reply Ydna,

That's my fear, that maybe something just dies. But without any real even other then turning off the machine and then turning it back on. To just simply die like that...

So I check the power coming in and its at 220V which is within operational range. As for the low voltage reading its. +11.853, -12.063 and 5.108

Any thoughts?

So you're saying to check the main power going into the machine itself? To the main breaker?

Looks like the same with the 2010. They went to some kind of proprietary cable. They don't like to make it easy I guess. :/

I powered up with the lights out. The monitor absolutely gets power....

Head scratchen here to why my 2010 Haas TM2P Mill suddenly won't boot without warning.

I had the machine on and running before lunch everything was working great and as normal. Powered down to run...

Thanks for the help guys,

I checked for G92,s and G91's. None to be seen. I did manage to get around the issue, by simply rebuilding the program in MasterCam.

The weird thing was when I turn...

Hey all,

This is probably just my inexperience here but for some reason my offsets are all screwed up. Tried running a new part today and its not responding to the correct position. The tool tries...

Thanks for the response Brian.

Sorry hit go meaning initiate my program. The tool swings off to the right somewhere a few inches away from my part. Looks off on all axis. Down, to the right, and...

Hello all,

I have a bit of an issue that has me scratching my head. I finished my toolpaths in MC, then put my part in my Haas. Touched off the part (confirmed its perfect) loaded my code, and...

As I suspected, User issue. I found out that in order for the feed n speed to be calculated you have to kick it from User to type of tool and material. Makes sense. I guess that was always in there...

Thanks for the response guys! Yeah I thought that was weird to. It's funny I found IPS worked like a charm before. I never had to do anything just add the dimensions and away she went. I did reach...

Hello all,

Welp I'm stumped. I just moved my TM-2P to a new shop and have had a few gremlins pop up. Some from the movers letting the machine get good and wet during the move. Anyway, The one I...

Lol thank's guys for the good advice. Question is do I use Basmati or Jasmine rice? Kidding. I actually did take all those huge silicate packs that came with the machine during delivery and set them...

Hey all,

So I had a frustrating day. Just had my TM2P moved and found out that the loaders didn't bother to cover the machine. Which was fine until a huge rain storm came in just when it was...

That worked perfect! Awesome. Thanks so much!! :D

Yes exactly what I tried, but the tool paths reversed aswell. The work around I did for it was to re-select the chain's for the contour path's. This seemed to work! Not quite one click, but for more...

Hey gang,

So here is what I'm wondering. I have a part that ive set up tool paths to mill one side if it. What I would like to do is be able to cut the one side, then flip the stock and have the...

Crap! I just saw your second post. Is the the class you were refuring too? I'm surprised they can't find enough students. :/

This is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks so much Colton! I'm going to try to get into this class right away. :)

Hello,

I'm based in Vancouver British Columbia, and was wondering if anyone out there knows of any good courses that I could take in the area. I would prefer to find a college in the area. Also if...

Thanks John!

I'm very happy to say that I finally got everything working (for the most part) and machined my first part! For not its in acrylic, but everything looks right. I had two little...

Thanks John, I think I do plan to stick with Mastercam. There is allot I'm not sure about yet. Is the TM capable of doing Helix moves for example. Also something I'm trying to figure out is when I...
