Chip-Trap Coolant Filter Systems

I have the Chip Trap setup on my 2006 VF2 and my 2012 VF3.. Definately worth the cheap price, the damn VF3 tries to put almost as many chips into the coolant tank as it does the auger! :) The older...

I am looking to purchase a 4th axis drive and cables needed to install it in my 2012 VF3 or 2006 VF2.. A friend will let me borrow his 4th axis HRT210 to run an occasional job, but since I have 200...

What is the real difference here? Is it worth the extra grand?

Same with the "advanced software" upgrades..

I agree on the online parts ordering, as I have had major issues in the past with a parts guy that wasn't the brightest bulb in the box. If I order the wrong part, its my fault and I can handle the...

Sweet, thanks for the help guys!

Seems to be a fairly logical thing to do, have the pcool height be referenced to the tool length, especially for those of us with probing.. I find it annoying that I have to manually set pcool for...

If I had the VDI turret and was looking at that type of puller, I would definately get the 3 finger as well..

I use the Royal bar pullers in both my SL10 and ST10..

Yeah, part time schedule here, or I would easily have double that.. :)

Ordered a new ST10 last week too.. Once it gets here I can take the SL10 offline and figure out the power supply issue.. ...

Well, no worries about the scheduled downtime, went to power up machine today, and no alarm for the power, but after the machine ran for 10 minutes, the poorly designed cable for the turret unclamp...

Hi All.

Once per day, at the beginning of my day, when powering up my 2008 Haas SL10, I get the following alarms:

Alarm 292 - 320V Power Supply Fault
Alarm 160 - Low Voltage
Alarm 646 - VAC...

I'll email you the files I have, but they are for 18.02, so I'm not sure they'll work.. You should call back and ask again, it fixed my problem for now, but if the main con is bad, I'm sure as hell...

Called the factory this morning and had them email me these files. Add this to the list of bugs in 18.02D.. One piece of information to add, I also changed the ethernet settings before this...

I looked on the USB stick in the back of the machine, and these files are not on it. :(

Had to happen on a weekend. If someone has these files, can you email them to me?

Figures, come in on a Saturday to work, and when powering up the machine, I get this message..

Geof, thanks for the education on the use of the search feature. :) Unfortunately, none of those threads had the answer I was hoping for, so we're back at the top..

Toymaker, thanks for the...

Can someone tell me how to get past these damn CE door locks and door override settings on a shiny new 2011 VF? After having older Haas machines where I can just turn off the door hold in the...

I have 3 Kurt HDLM6J's (double station vises) on my VF2.. that gives me 6 work stations, and with the Kurt convertible kit, I can convert them into 3 large opening vises.. It has worked out really...

On a side note, there is a company in Florida selling brand new Pcool units on ebay, I just received one today and put it in my brand new 2011 VF3 (that I havent even run a job on yet, lol), works...

I do most of my own maintenance on the machines as I have free time, or something else breaks that requires me to take down the machine anyway, so I get maintenance done too..

The Haas pricing...

Read somewhere that Haas switched to grease packs on the newer machines? Which is better, and why?

In that case, I do have another question on the new machines.. I was using a friends 2010 DT1, and noticed in the parameters that there is an option to turn on ethernet (with a trial) and an option...

Is this possible? Want to order a shiny new VF3, but in the interest of my staff, I would like the control to have the same look and feel of the rest of my 2007 era Haas machines in the shop. I...

You need to call the factory in Oxnard and escalate this issue. Asking it to hold .002 is not asking for much, and I would be pissed too.

Call the 805-278-1800 number and try to get someone who...

A local shop I deal with has had to have their DT1 spindle replaced as well, within a few months of having the machine.. Makes me rethink my desire to purchase one..

I'm in Phoenix, if you're bored, you could swing by my place and I could give you some pointers on my 06 VF2..

Oh, I know all about the time schedule for them, its more about the process, ie: unbolt way covers here, and then clean here and lubricate here, here, and here with mystery grease, etc..

Is there a step by step destruction manual on doing the preventative maintenance? I have a plain jane VF2 and an SL10, and the $1000+ price for a couple hours work and an air filter for only the...

I'd be pissed too if I had to pay the labor for a misdiagnosed part. I'd expect a Factory trained technician to follow the proper protocol for troubleshooting the problem, not throw parts at it...
