Same machine today top photo, old part 2nd photo.
Day and night
A bit of an update.
Alfex, local Haas agents have gotten involved and done a whole bunch of tests. 4 visits later. The machine has been level check at every visit. They have admitted that there is...
Still no ballbar test. Not sure why no one has pitched yet :-(
I wasn't present when the spindle was tested. So can't answer the how.
The shudder is there when running a program with the spindle off.
It's not the spindle!
Ball bar test should be today I...
There is damage to the rear Y axis cover. But nothing that looks like it could have caused damage to the ball screw. I did ask this question of the technicians and they said all was good. If...
Spindle and head are good. Tests done
The shudder happens with the spindle off
We bought the machine used 2 months ago from the original owner. It has more than 1500hrs but less than 2000hrs on it....
Fingers crossed.
With the ballbar info the locals can approach Mr Haas himself and try get a solution
The **** thing is we can't even sell it anymore. Not with good conscience anyway.
We have to fix it.
If only someone knew how :(
Sadly, no Sir
Build date is end of 2010. Sold new Jan 2011
We now have the Haas agents on the way with a renishaw ballbar

That is a finish cut. 0.25mm deep.

No. Straight lines.
Coming from the right on the right hand side. straight - 20° left -...
Yes. Perfect
eg fecking zactly
Hey mac
I only ran the test @ F2500.
I'm beginning to believe we were conned into buying this machine.
The technician/broker knew what I wanted to cut and said the machine would do it.
And...
Did I scare everybody away with my last post?
As per advice on a different forum, I did the spiral test today. Interesting and a little confusing results.
Programmed a Ø250mm spiral in to out, 5mm step over. Feed 2500mm/min Spindle on but no...
You certainly know how to spoil a party :-(
If I had have known this was going to be an issue, we would have passed on the machine. Why do Haas even sell this machine if it cannot do what they say...
Definitely isn't the tool and/or holder. Happens with multiple tools. And only at specific places with the same tool. Direction change.
Spoke to the technician and he said check the "minimum radius...
I've been running a part on a VF2. 12K spindle. HSM activated
I've had to move it to a MiniMill SS. 10K spindle HSM activated
Part is 6061 T6 Aluminium.
The was had an excellent finish...
If I didn't have my current part time drafting job, I'd be there.
Unfortunately a tight timeline prevents just about any free time.
Next time gents.
This is a 2 part question.
1: Is it possible to create a smart fastener from an assembly?
I use a common config of a bolt and 2 washers in a large assembly and would like to fill the required...
Whats the question?
Forgot to say that the dimension becomes a driven dimension that I use in an equation to determine the v belt length.
I will have a look at the relations
Anyone seen this before?
In an assembly layout I need to dimension an arc length.
When I select the arc length dimension the value is correct....
Thanks Mecheng.
I did find what i want
Mass properties- Check box "Assigned Mass Properties"
Stick the motor on a scale and type in the value!
Too easy
And yes adding the sensor would make...
I would have used the right plane for the 'side view' sketch and created a 'Revolve Boss/Base' and then 'circular pattern'
No need to create the angled plane.
Is it possibly to add a mass/weight value to a model?
We use a lot of 3rd party products, that I download from company sites(where available), in assemblies.
Sometime I even just build a block to...
Superman, you farking genius!!!!
Thank you
Most probably too busy working ;-)
Sorry, gotta run
