Once in a while I'll browse the haascnc.com website to see what's new and saw the news that Haas has been granted a license to field a formula one team. There'a video of the press conference in...

On a related note, if I want to relocated my TS27, the old corded tool presetter, on a VF2 table. How far to the left can I mount it? I moved it 2.5" to the left from the original factory position...

I called Haas and the problem was resolved. I had selected the wrong model number for the setting. I should have selected HRT160H(brushless) instead of HRT160. In my mind I've always...

I went through a similar problem with a 06' VF-2SS a couple month ago. I had to remove all the way covers, but once the covers were removed, the source of the leak was obvious. It turned out that...

I''ve used it a few times. The last time was a couple month ago. The HRT160 is a 08' model. When I first encounter the rotary motor over temp alarm I changed parameter 43 to the printed...

Friday night and I get this error for a project that is due Sunday. . . .

Initially it was the A axis over temperature alarm so I turned off the temperature check in the parameter and now I am...

One of the things I noticed with Haas is that they will update their controller from time to time. They don't announce it and the detail controller specs is not on any of their brochures. A newer...

Debain is also my favorite distro and runs everything from desktops to servers. I have one w7p-64 machine for running the cam software. I have a debian file server that I use to transfer files to...

Finally got it fixed. Just finished up sealing and putting the way covers back on. The parts used are,

- McMaster -
8359K12 - Clear Nylon Tubing 5/32" OD (Lube Tubing)
5181K39 -...

I cut into the cracked line and realized that the lube line is a thin tube inside a thicker outer tube. I guess the only way is to change out the entire lube line from the base assembly to the...

I have a 06' VF2SS with enet/hd/usb. Back then usb didn't come standard and it was either the enet/hd/usb package or floppy and rs232. I really like the network options. It made file...

I took of the way covers and found the problem. The way lube line is kinking in the X-axis saddle and cracked.

The lube line goes into the base casting? How do I replace the cracked lube...

Sounds like my problem. The lube pump seems to be working because the length of travel for the lube lever does vary in time. When I manually actuate the lube lever, the lube pressure goes up to...

I am getting the low lube low pressure alarm on a 06' VF2SS. I tried the manual lube lever test on the lube unit and the pressure held for a few seconds before dropping rapidly down to zero. ...

Maybe it's the coolant. The plastic RJH 09' on a SR100 (no coolant) has taken a few tumbles off the table a few times and still functional. The last tumble was particular nasty and I had to unplug...

I use LibreCAD, an open source 2d cad, when I am writing g-code manually. I use it to find the various end points on a line or curve. If you are not going around in a full circle, you can use R...

I am running a very basic SR-100 router with no probe and no tool changer. It's a very basic machine and even a simple manual tool change took me long while to figure out.

I touch off all the tools on the table, then I touch off T01 on the top of the part. However, when I tried to run the program in simulation I get Z over travel error.

I think that's how the...

I've been spoiled by the probe and I can't figure out how to manually set multiple work offsets with Z value. Currently, I set all Z work offset G54, G55, G56 to zero and compensate for the varying...

Grease Tool Changer Cams maintenance popped up on the VF2SS and I am wondering how do I go about greasing the cam? and what type of grease do I use?

thanks,

John

Thanks, I'll go with 1" plates. Should I got with Mic6 or 6061. From what I've read online 6061 may warp, but if I face mill both sides, will that be enough to keep it flat?

Also on a VF2...

I've been looking at Geof's vise/rotary subplate setup at,

http://www.cnczone.com/forums/haas_mills/22023-super_minimill_vise_rotary_changeover.html

Geof mentioned he uses steel subplate for...

I also prestage the first tool after the last tool change in the program so when I hit cycle start, the first tool is ready to go. Other than that, the look ahead usually takes care of pre staging...

What type of job do you run on a VM-2 vs a VF-2SS?

I don't run anything in large enough quantity to fully utilize the faster rapid of a VF-2SS. However, I machine mostly aluminum so the 12k...

If you are thinking of getting the macro, might as well consider getting the probe package that includes macro, spindle orientation, coordinate rotation and scaling. I think the probe package will...

Um, I know you're pissed. We've all been there before, but I don't see how you are helping your case with your posts and website. It sucks to have problem with a new machine, but I think you are...

I am getting a low pressure alarm on the SR100 even though I am getting air through the SR100 spindle and a working tool release. Do I have a bad low pressure switch?

When wiring up the TL2 low...

Geof,

I ended up buying the low pressure switch #93-1351 and the cable #33-9512 from Haas. The cable goes into P12 on the IO PCB and connects to the low pressure swtich. Once everything is...

I am newbie. While Matsura may be a great machine, as with any used machine, what happens if something breaks? Where do you get help, parts and service. If you like it and you grow, where do you...

Using Geof's post for referene and other people's examples I wired up the 5C pneumatic closer to the M-code relay. I am hoping to eventually integrate some sort of bar pusher/buller to the TL-2. ...
