Im running my third job on our new ST-20, and Im pretty frustrated with the time it takes for the C axis motor to engage. This is the second setup I have done on this machine using live tooling, and the first setup went fine. Now, when the control reads the M154, it pauses for 8-10 seconds, followed by a clunck sound, and then proceeds to position the C axis for the live tooling operation. Im running a 47 second cycle, that could be a 38 second cycle. If I have to watch this thing do this for the next 10000 parts, I think Ill go crazy!.

Seriously though, has anyone ever expierenced this, or is there a G code I may be missing? I have tried putting an M19 or M05 or both before the M154, but it didnt make any difference.
Heres my entire program.

You may have too many codes going which it's reading and slowing it down.. here is some sample code from a part I am running.

Another trick is to just enter into the mem screen
M154
G0 C0. to make it fire up, if its taking 8 seconds I doubt theres much you can do

Mines firing up the c-axis and live tooling almost instantly

You might want to call Haas tech there may be a parameter delay setting

Thanks for the input. I think this issue was resolved by the Hass tech, but I will check on those parameters. I will also save those phone numbers.
