Can anybody shed a bit of light on this for me:

When you are in debug mode and clear out the variable - which screen needs to be highlighted? I can't get my machine to set the SN to 0 so I...

Matt,

Why not use the wear function?

The only time I use it is when I have an indicator attached to the spindle for checking surfaces...etc.

Geof,

Its bad when your trying to get something done quick and miss that small very important question.

I didn't hurt anything....

Since I use the toolsetter, I rarely ever touch the dia or...

Hey HAAS.....

Its great that you can zero out the user x-y-z zeros with the origin key.....

Its bad that you can zero out the Tool L&D offsets with the same button.

Anyway to disable that...

This thread seems to be drifting.

He is talking about TLO after being calibrated. Running the calibration back to back should have very small errors in repeatability.

To be honest, I have the...

First, find the setting that makes the T&H numbers match.

You can set up 5 tools in your machine as ones you will always use and rotate the rest out as needed. Your library in HSMworks will let...

I'll have to give that a try tommorow. I saw your post so I figured I would see if I could get the serial transfer to work before I left the shop. Thanks for the sunday reply.

Matt,

I probed a number of different sized holes and set each one to a new work offset.

I already wrote the offsets down but what I would have liked to do is probe a hole and have it spit out...

Cool thanks.

Tried it, getting errors. I'll have to look over my serial port settings..etc.

Its a 2008 build machine, 16.02 software.

Hello,

I just probed 25 or so holes. Any way to dump the work offset locations? USB? Dprint?

Thanks

Tim

What did you pay for it, $20K? ;)

Probably means you are a good internet teacher :)

I think this is the same as what Geof is saying but why not add 180 to your initial G68 number and forget the mirror?

If I wasn't on vacation that would have been mine :(

Are there any structural differences between a VM3 and VF3? I have already looked at the website and know the options are different but is there more meat to a VM3?

I know exactly what the dealer will say:

Its $90 an hour to drive out and $125 to update the software.

$400 for a 5 minute job.

This is the one thing that I think HAAS has fallen on it's...

Every time I unplug my USB stick I get all kinds of warnings. I probably hit reset 6 times for each usb plug/unplug.

Has newer software fixed this? There is no "press this button and then this...

John,

I have TRIM C350 in my machine, still looks new. You might consider trim C320 which you can buy from Enco when they have free shipping or a discount.

Tim

Ken,

Why check it?

Surprised you didn't get a probe :(

You will be fine. I learned cold turkey. Build all kinds of things with our machine. Have not crashed yet.

I just asked them....Hey if you are in the area could you schedule me for....etc.

I understand though.

Yes. That is just how it is. I just asked my HFO if they could get to me while in the area to give me a software update....nope.

What will the inspection method be for a completed part?
Will copies of the specs be provided with the PO?

Please email me drawings or files:

A typical sunday for me yesterday. Needed to run a part and the probe battery was dead!!

Replaced it, marked on the old one was 1/2011. So 1 year of run time!


Tim

1. Have you put an indicator on the probe ball and rotated the spindle to be sure that it has no runout?

2. What ball tip size are you using? Use this in #3:

3. Did you re-calibrate the probe?...

If you are in the SMM2 travels you should look at hurco. Supposedly they have a single phase VM10 coming out at some point.

The problem with HAAS is the options add up pretty quick. Seems like the...
