Brad,

Are you still accepting quotes on this project?

I know it's not quite under 5k, but I just wanted to try and help lesson the sticker shock of the upgrade. The price for parts is $11,990, but you get half back when you return your old processor,...

I don't believe the Z axis is belt drive on TM machines. I would suspect the thrust bearings if the noise is only present at 100% rapid. It could also be a ballscrew but the thrust bearings are much...

You already have the latest version of series 9 mill software. In order to upgrade the a newer revision, you would have to have the processor replaced. Really the best option for upgrading software...

If you have air connected to the rotary disconnect it and see if the problem still occurs. If the brake solenoid is bad the brake may not be releasing, which could cause the alarms that you're...

It looks like you have Macros, Rotational & Scaling, Rigid Tapping, and 4th Axis Enabled, which Haas already told you, except for the macros. It looks like extended memory and High Speed Machining...

We did the Cen 6 upgrade and were able to reuse the drives. I know the knives are a simple toolpath, that's why I offered to run a more complex path for whizbang if he had something he wanted me to...

This is a video of my 1991 Partner 5 Cutting a 3d bevel on some custom knives. I did the Cen 6 upgrade after I bought the machine. We are running on single phase with a homemade rotary phase...

Clearing memory, initializing machines, messing with serial number, etc is something only a dealer should be doing in the first place. If you clear memory and type and address wrong you could wipe...

Hit the PARAM/DGNOS key, type in 269 and then hit the down arrow. The fourth line down should read ZERO AXIS TC. If this is set to a 1, the axis will go to zero every time a tool change is commanded....

I think the fat32 may be your problem. I believe to get mine to work correctly I had to format the sticks fat12. If you ordered one of the floppy emulators on ebay, it should have came with a little...

Anybody know?

Why do you want to upgrade your software? Are you experiencing issues with your current software?

Bob,
I know the control does not adjust the pitch of the screw. I am asking how to change the pitch of the screw in the control. For example, if you currently have 6 mm pitch ballscrews and replace...

Bob,

How would you go about adjusting the lead screw pitch on a Cen 6 control?
Thanks,

Nick

It looks like your software version is not listed, however, that doesn't mean a software glitch is not a possibility. As long as it doesn't happen again, I wouldn't worry to much. If it does, check...

Call Haas Service or your local dealer and ask them to email you document AD0069 Rev D. This is the installation instructions for the bearingless union on a 50 taper belt drive VMC. It should have...

While I'm not sure if this is one of them, I do know that there have been some software issues with the tool changer that can cause 625, 626, 628, or 858 alarms. What version of software does your...

Machines that have Mill software version 15.05 -17.xx and Lathe software version 8.05 - 10.xx use Parameter 811 (AX INTRVL METERS). This is "distance traveled based" axis lubrication. Mill software...

I'm not sure if the purple grease system uses different flow restrictors or what the exact reason is but I know it's not recommended. I will do some asking and find out if you could simply change the...

You have to buy the option. The feature is activated with a machine specific code that you have to get from Haas.

There is no recall with the red grease system. However, Haas has recommended a change in the lube cycle timer. The issue occurs when the machine lubes, and then sits for a period of time with little...

The new machines are HLG (Haas Liquid Grease). Do you have a grease gun style for the axis lube or the clear plastic canister that takes the SHC 007 (Bright red mobil product)?

Just checked a machine, it's F2 Write, F3 Read. So you need to type the name of the program including the file extension and then hit F3.

I'll have to remember that they don't have anything pre 2001. Glad you got it going!

I don't know where you're looking for batteries because you could literally replace the whole processor board for that price. The processor battery retails for $30 here in the US.

If you still need these send me a private message.

If you still need these send me a private message.

The oldest version of software that Haas technicians can upgrade on site is version 8. You need to make sure that the old processor has the same version of software. The Rev shouldn't matter but it...

You must format the USB stick to 1.44mb for it to work with the floppy drive emulator. To load programs from a floppy (or in your case the emulator) hit "List Prog" then type the file name that your...
