Hi Guys,
Does anyone have a metric haas lathe post for camworks they could send to me? The lathe is a TL-1 but i am told that all of the controllers are the same so any haas metric lathe post...

Hi there,
I have a haas VF0E. I run solidworks 2007 with camworks 2007. I have been using them for a couple of years now but i have come to a point where i need to make a small change to my post.

I'm aiming the machine to do a fair bit of small component ally machining too, blocks with fairly limited vacuum area.

Are vacuum tables popular here? How many of you use one at present. Are...

Hi all,
When it comes to the day to day use of the hobby type cnc router, what type of machine table hold down arrangement would people prefer.

Here are some ideas.

Unidirectional T slots,...

Hi there,
I cannot get the dnc software to start. I have visual mill5 basic, but the mecsoft website shows that the dnc software is included with basic.

Under the utilities tab the dnc to...

I shall say this just once more. There is no "glass shape" no model, no mould part etc.

It was meerly used to try to illustrate what I was trying to describe with stopping ejector pins against a...

Actually these questions were all posted in the evening GMT, sometimes as late as 2:00AM GMT where I was working late.

Secondly when the machine which is my lively hood is messing around with no...

Could the G be a fault code then. If so what does the letter G signify??? Could it tell us where the problem is.

I notice the Halt light is on but only dimly on the processor board. What does...

So was it a noisy power supply that was causing the problem, did you fix the haas's without changing the processor boards??

I wouldn't want to be around if the feed hold did that when I was using an undercutting tool or slitsaw. Ouch.

You can stop the spindle currently, just press stop on the spindle keypad, cycle...

Personally I am very glad the axis select are on buttons on the control. It stops mistakes being made with a knob. You take a quick look at the knob set on x axis for example after touching up to a...

Hi,

The supply to the building is massive.

But the voltage in I measured as 418V, but the Haas techie hooked it up to the 457-429V taps, which would obviously give a lower output when fed...

Hi,
Anyone know what the DC bus voltage should be on the Diagnostics page on a VF0. I guess it is the same as other VF mills also.

Mine says 330V But is quickly flickering up and down a couple...

"Be positive, and help somebody if you can."

Totally agree, what we need to do first is to collect the information, hence the poll.

As for naming a manufacturer, I think that is unfair...

It actually seems to be based on the number of months and years from the comission time rather than the machine hours.

If a priblem is so widely known about so reliably then there should be a...

Yep I've trawled up and down every setting and parameter from every mode and can find no date or time.

The Haas service guy entered a service mode by pressing reset and one other key whilst...

This is from the online manual.

This only works on the newer machines mine is 2000 and it doesn't work.

Thanks anyway.

Hi there,

Sorry for posting this here, its not about any machine maker in particular, but it had to go somewhere.
The results of the poll will show where the message should reside.

If the...

Hi,

As far as I know when you press power up restart, the machine does not reset the zero position, it just goes back to the home switches to zero the count of encoder rotations so the machine...

Just tried the help key thing as on p21 of the manual, does nothing, I must have an older mocon system. Any other ideas.

Thanks
Dom

Hi,
We have just changed the memory battery in the back of the machine (VF0E) and now the date is wrong.

Can anyone tell me how to set the date/time again. Many thanks.

Its really the weight of the table and vice that will cause the deflection.

The bushes are currently closed type.

The only thing about facing when on the machine is that small router type...

Hi there,
I am doing some experiments to test various parts of a gantry router desing. The router is a fixed gantry moving table type.

The table (y axis) is fairly heavy and the rails for the...

Dead nuts to what?
The number that you decide to round the error to or the number that the customer rounds to or the number that another subcontractor rounds to........


Next question.

Well theres plenty of sarcasm floating around now.

I think you mean
1/72 = 0.01388888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

OK that was an easy one for starters.

Question 2: The next dimension on the drawing is a tiny clearance. The dimension is 1/72nd of an inch. What do I enter into the computers???

...

Pop Quiz Just for fun.(nuts)

So, I am making a very accurate bearing seat. I use metric dimensions, however the drawing has been made in inches.

I am willing to work in inches however...

I think you have misunderstood this topic. I asked about the associated problems with using this method of mould ejection. I did not ask for people telling me that they would do it another way. ...

Hi Rance,
Thanks for the relpy. During my testing I did notice that when the switch is used in a ramp set up like in the pictures it was not as repeatable as a direct push on the face of the...

Hi Bryon
