You're asking a lot for a seller to warranty a sensitive item like an amplifier when most of the people buying this item don't possess the expertise to even open the cabinet, let alone change an...

I'm assuming you've solved this issue but I thought I would contribute in hopes of helping others. I've spent FAR too many hours working on our two
HS-1RP's. On the cylinder...

We have two that we NEVER use. One has never been out of the crate. I can't recall the model # but I'll look tomorrow.

Thanks everyone. I guess I was fooled since, in the past, when a chip has been on the prox sensor after startup, the machine throws a "servo error too large" alarm. This time it didn't. I'm machining...

Hello everyone. I 'm working on a Haas VF-6. Lately after powering up the machine it has lost its Y location. Today it was about .475 off and was similarly off the day before. I can re-dial in to the...

Works great now. You guys are great for taking the time to help out. Thanks again.

Stickerman, the code in post 7 is giving me a bad g-code alarm. I'm assuming the G97's should be replaced with M97's. Going to try that. Thanks again!

Thanks Geof, I'll look into that at the end of the day when the operator has gone. We've been getting away with it because the end of the program contains optional stops that allow the operator to...

Stickerman, you're right, it certainly would waste a ton of time. I guess I was so focused on just getting it to happen that I wasn't thinking past the repeating. Thanks so much for the help. You...

Stickerman, thanks so much. I've got a much better understanding of why the code is placed where it is now. Got a quick question on the "L" though. Is the "L" just a repeat value? For example L50...

Hi again everyone, after refining the program, I end up with the need to rotate every 60 degrees instead of 15. I there a possibility that one of you (possibly Stickerman)can show me where to insert...

Cooool! Thanks so much...I THINK I can take it from here. Looks good so far. Thanks guys!

Hello everyone, we have an HRT 210 4th axis we rarely use. I need to plug this in and use it to repeat a simple milling pattern on a 10" diameter part every 15 degrees or so. My plan was to simply...

extanker.....Yeah, the controller doesn't like the dual G71 lines just like the Mazak guys mentioned. I WAS able to get the program running by breaking the code out of the canned cycle. It ran...

Thanks extanker.... I'll give that a try tomorrow to see if our control will handle it. I seem to remember that the Mazak support guys claimed the T2 control didn't like the double G71 lines. We...

Hi everyone, we have a Mazak Quick Turn 15 with the Mazatrol T2 controller. It has no sub-spindle or live tools. We have always used Mazatrol programs but now have to switch over to G-code for a...

G53 solved that issue........moving forward...

It looks like the machine is trying to use the home position as X 0, Z 0 and trying to run from there. I'm unsure how to offset these values or what code to insert that allows an offset to be added....

Different post processor with the M41 remaining and the program now starts except it tries to return past (it looks like it anyway) home and then gives me a stored stroke error. That's where I am...

Psychomill....thanks for the reply and YES that M41 does call for low gear. That MAY be it. The spindle does NOT start which is why I think you're correct. I'll try that. Since my post this morning,...

Thanks for any help in advance guys.....the dilemma I have is that I need to shift from the typical Mazatrol programming we normally use on this machine to the EIA-ISO format for a specific job. I...

DSL, I agree, yet since I don't have a ton of experience servicing these machines I'm kind of conservative on ordering parts for them. I did install the new switch today and that solved the problem....

Hey thanks Geof. All that yakking and I didn't give the year :) It's a 1999 so the x-axis switch isn't the prox style but the roller wheel limit switch style instead. I removed the way covers (mine...

Hi everyone. Before I get the service guys out here for a whopping bill, I was hoping to gain a few answers on my Haas VF-5. This morning upon warm-up, as the machine was running and about half way...

Hi, did you solve this problem? I'm curious because I am taking the advice of others on this forum and buying a new LCD display kit from earthLCD. The kit includes the display AND the controller. I'm...

Hi guys....I took your advice tecko and tried the hairdryer (heatgun) and sure enough, the monitor I'm having problems with came on. So am I to understand that a "dry joint" is my problem? Or is this...

Thanks Geof...have fun.

Hi everyone, I'm curious if our Haas VF-5 is set-up to do rigid tapping. The manual isn't available to us currently and I'm a bit unsure if the machine has this option. Are there any parameters than...

Hi everyone. I don't have a ton of time running machines like this but I'm curious about this machine blowing so much air. When I'm running a program the machine is pushing quite a bit of air out of...

Thanks guys, nope, I'm the last guy whose ahead of anyone one the Mazak. Unfortunately, the Mazak manual is really weak in my opinion. This forum and a few others are how I've learned what I can't...
