Since the original post I have replace several thrust bearing on a couple older machines I have. I choose to replace the bearing in the bearing pack instead of purchasing the entire bearing pack,...

Hello,

I am hoping to find a solution for a problem. I have over 550 parts with a Ø.250 inch blind hole in it. My problem is that each hole has tumbling media stuck in the holes and I can't blow...

I am assuming it is K ohms since it is a standard multi-meter. I was told a meg ohm meter is a special tool.

Ok more info. I needed to remove the motor so I could take off...

This is what I did tonight..

I disconnected the black and white wires from the x axis card and turn on the machine. No alarms.

When I turn on my (Klein Tools from Home Depot) multi meter to...

Hello,

I am need of some technical help for testing an older 1994 Haas with DC servos. I got a 175 alarm... This is what I have done so far. I went into the parameters and disabled the x y and...

Hello, I have recently acquired an older H400 Mazak horizontal M32A with a very small amount of memory,7200 bites. I was told the memory is 128,000 bites but only the 7200 is available for EIA and...

Hey Gizmo,

For 3+1 and 3+2 machining with your trunion look into G254 dynamic work offset. Cool stuff! You only need to program from 1 fixture offset and the machine knows where it is and...

Thanks Mactec54! I can't find where it mentions the pressure in the book but I did verify on the 96 machine and it is set at 17psi. I adjusted the 94 from 20 to 17psi and I still have much more air...

Hello

I have a 1994 Haas VF1 and air is leaking out of the area that the red arrow is pointing to. The air is not coming out of the spindle taper. There is a fair amount of air coming out of...

Thanks Geoff. I appreciate the input. They do seem to be in the same price range as comparable years as the VF-2 and -3 machines.

I found this in the Haas CNC magazine, Spring 1998. Not sure if it means it is coming or has been introduces in 1998.

Hello,

I am looking at a 1998 Haas HS-1 double pallet horizontal machine for sale. I have been doing some reading on these machines and one of the issues I have become concerned with is the...

HFO got me going again!

Thanks for the input guys. I have tried those options but it will not take the "1 enter" it just stays at 0. I called Haas since I do not have a hard copy of the parameters and I am awaiting a call...

Hey guys,

I goofed and I can't turn it back on. I wanted to to turn off REPT RIG TAP parameter for rigid tapping but turned off RIDIG TAP itself and I can't turn RIGID TAP parameter back to 1, it...

Hello,

I default to 1000 RPM when single point threading on my CNC Fanuc OT 1999 control. Currently I am cutting a 3/8-16 thread in stainless and it is running good. I have cut air at 2000 RPM...

Hey Guys... I just looked at the fixture offsets and realized with Ydna's post that my fixture offset values are all positive in my 94 machine. I looked at my 96 machine and all of the fixture...

Thanks for your help LeWhite.

I found what I was looking for in this post

This is what I have been looking for!

THANKS for this post.

I appreciate your help. I see those as well but those can be reset by pushing origin button. I know there is a screen somewhere that show non reset-able hours for the technicians to review. I have...

Thanks man but this didn't work. I have 2 older machines, 1 has version 4.3 and the other has version 8.3 software.

Thanks

Hey Guys,

I am looking for the screen that shows. It must be a debugging screen since I cannot find it. Can someone type out instructions on how to get to this screen to show?

Thanks

Oh this is good news. I didn't realize the thrust bearing was sold as a package. I thought a dyi rebuild was the option. I would rather buy it instead of rebuilding to reduce down time. Does the...

Thanks Haastec for your input, I appreciate your safety note. Looking at the X axis is a great idea since when I had the covers off I was thinking changing out the thrust bearings would be a real...

Thanks Mactec54. Have you replaced this bearing before? Was it easy to remove? Items #2 is the bearing housing and it bolts to the main casting. Would be best to remove the housing to take out...

Hello,

I recently acquired a 96 VF1 with DC Servos. I have been working on here and there and finally had a chance to run parts on it. The surface finishing is not real good. The y axis does...

That is correct! But not in this case or on this machine. I am shifting down to make it go up... That is backwards.

Hello,

I am wondering why this seems backwards to me. Here is my issue. I touch all of my tools off of the top of the hard jaw and want to shift my work coordinate Z to the top of my part...

Thanks Guys. I just got a quote for the Memex Data Shuttle and it is $760.0 with shipping.

My machine does not have the floppy drive so I wounder if one can can be installed if the machine...

I have run into a problem a couple times now where my programs are to larger for the memory. My 1994 Haas has 3/4 meg of memory available. No floppy drive only RS232 and I can't figure out how to...
