Hi Andrew. Are you referring to the facing cycle, one of the turning cycles, or the shape creator itself? We're glad to help, but would need to better understand the question. Thank you for watching!

@@Darren_HFO_Champions the facing

@@Darren_HFO_Champions i’ve just set the g54 as the face , then move off the part and move the distance i need to face and set that as g54. then in the facing program i entered the distance i moved as the “face stock” in the program. it’s just weird because on the tl-1/2’s we have we set the g54 as the face and tell it how much to take off and it does exactly that

@@andrewramirez3332 . OK. I fully understand now. I've worked with both the older "Intuitive control software", as well as the new "VPS (Visual Programming System" software, and you are correct. Haas made this change after asking many customer's their preferred method of facing. Most replied that they want the finished face of the part to become "Z0". This way, after facing, the other dimensions in the part shape can be reflected by the dimensions on their print. I, for one, agree with that change and enjoy using it more. Thank you for the feedback, and hope you have a great week.

What the numbers were reference to

Do you have a Classic Haas Control? If so, you should be using the G105 Q4 / jog / G105 Q2. When executing the Q4, does the bar-feeder load the bar, push into the spindle, and load the push-rod? If so, your V-axis is surely enabled and running. When it states that your V-axis is disabled, try pressing the letter "V" on the alpha keys, and then pressing "Handle Jog". Depending on the age of your machine / bar-feeder, your feeder may be controlled by a "Red rotary control box" under the bar feed tray. That will be run as an "auxillary axis". Be careful if you have this type, as the red control box will memorize every click of the hand-wheel and send your V-axis into over-travel or an alarm status. Your local Haas Factory Outlet office may need to get involved as well. Thank you for watching!

Hi @PanzerShrimp. You will want to contact your local HFO for a service visit. We have seen this before. If I remember correctly, the problem was one of these cases: - Bar-feed parameters may not be properly set. - The EOB (end of bar) switch is not wired to the correct terminal on the I/O board. - Your material is "see-through" (think acrylic, for example). This is fixed by spray painting the end of the bar, so the switch is not looking "through it" - Your material is very "shiny", which causes the same effect (it reflects the laser back from the send to receive, fooling the switch).

@@Darren_HFO_Champions thanks for the reply. I'm fairly certain the parameters on the back of the bar feeder aren't set yet into the control. I contacted HFO!

Thank you for contacting us. Yes: Since all tool tips are taught in reference to the tool setter itself, your desired work offset number (Your Z0), is a shift "to the left or right" from the tool setter. Therefore, you do not have to re-teach tools, in order to move your Z0 (if i am understanding the question correctly). Thank you.

Hello. When using G42 (OD) or G41 (ID) cutter compensation, a lot of the potential alarms are either the initial "lead in" when drawing the shape, or the "lead out" when finishing the shape. Each of these lines should be larger than the size of the tool's nose radius, which you'll input into the tool offsets page. Also remember that when using cutter comp, you also will need to include the "Tip Value" (Typically Tip 3 for OD tools, turning towards the chuck, and Tip 2 for ID / Boring Bars). Thank you for watching!

Thank you! I’ll check the lead in and lead outs

Yep, Me too, LOL. Awesome reply. I often revert to the second method (production recuts, with Txxx and M19) because then I'm using proven G-Code, actual axis values, and I'm driving the ship, instead of "Cycle Start and hope I answered the questions correctly.

Thanks for your feedback. You'd be surprised how fast you get with it after writing many programs (Much the same as Mazatrol). The issue that I've always had with Mazatrol, is that it's great, until it's not. I enjoy working with G-Code because it puts ME in the driver's seat. With Mazatrol, I often have to settle with "Well, it's not doing what I want, but I'll have to live with it, LOL". Hope you've had a great week.

Hello. The WiFi antenna has a barrel connector on the end of the cable and plugs into a female barrel connector that comes through the electrical cabinet. Depending on the age of you rmachine, newer NGC controls come standard with WiFi. Some of the earlier NGC's: WiFi was an option that had be be purchased. You will want to consult with your local HFO. If the cable from the processor to the cabinet enclosure is not there, they can help you get the antenna connected. Thank you for watching!

Hi Jim. Thank you for watching and thank you for the kind words as well. In this scenario, you will change Setting 64 to "ON" (Use the work offset as the reference for teaching the tool without the tool setter), teach the tool using X-Dia Measure and Z-Face Measure as needed. Afterwards, you can immediately change Setting 64 back to "OFF" (meaning - back to using the ATP probe as your offset reference), so that you don't forget to change it back later on when you setup your next job using the ATP. Sometimes, I wish they would have just labeled this setting as "Tool Setting Probe? Yes or No", LOL. Take care.

@@Darren_HFO_Champions Thanks so much, I started learning to machine on manuals around 2003, and has been close to 15 years since I ran a Haas lathe. I am currently enjoying the challenge of initially setting up a 2001 SL 20.. .. even the eccentric bosses on the BOT turret for the ID tools are giving me a run for my money; every one of them seized up. Your assistance here will have helped some guys put food on the table; thanks for that.

Hello @tomeszkomesz. The "#3026+2000" refers to the current tool length offset, for the tool in the spindle (#3026 = tool in spindle, while [#3026+2000]= the correct tool length offset for the tool that's in the spindle. Thank you for watching!

Agreed, if it wrote to the wear column it would be consumable. This sounds like a crash waiting to happen.

Thanks for the comment. We'll work on more. Anything specific you'd like to learn about?

Hello. You will want to get your local HFO service department involved. There are several possible reasons for this: 1) Are you running acrylic, very shiny (chrome) bars, or very small bars? I've sometimes had to paint the end of the bar to get the sensor to work. 2) There were several parameter updates over time that controlled the measure speed and rate. 3) The "bar tool long" normally means that the length of the bar is actually longer than your "max bar length" setting, or the bar feeder needs the 12' test bar calibration run (G105 Q5, if I remember right, which applies to previous generation bar feeders (ball-screw driven vs. belt driven)). All fixable, just too many reasons to post why this may be happening. Thank you for watching!

Hi Justin. Yes. There are (4) set-screws on the probe body (the lower ones), and (2) upper lock screws. You'll want to loosen the upper two very slightly, then use the (4) lowers to dial the ruby stylus to run true, then lock the two upper screws once again. The calibration cycle does compensate for ruby run-out, but you want to minimize the amount of compensation, as it will increase your probe accuracy. Thank you for watching!

@@Darren_HFO_Champions thank you for that quick reply.

Thank you Sebastian! Feel free to call our office or email if you have any additional questions. Take care.

Hi Scott. I may be misunderstanding the question, but once you execute G104 Q4 (loads bar), jog the bar to be flush with the face of the chuck (V-axis on Classic Haas), the G105 Q2 should set the reference, open the chuck, and feed the bar out to the initial push length of 2.0. Next, you will run the part (turning and part off) and execute a G105 before M30 or M99, with no Q-Code. This will feed the bar out to the "part length plus cut-off" position, which should bring it back out to 2.0. Remember that the part length + cut-off setting should be exactly that, which would feed the bar back to 2" out of the chuck. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the comment. We'll put this on our list of videos to make.

Thank you, Oliver. Using G41 or G42 on lathe live tooling operations works slightly different. You would be making a change to the tool's "nose radius" column for most NGC software versions. G41 or G42 "wear compensation" must be done for this to work. Further over to the right, in the offset columns, there are some live tooling diameter columns there, but most software versions have not started utilizing those columns yet. Thank you for watching!

​@@Darren_HFO_Championshi, please make the same video but for lathes!!!

здравствуйте . можно узнать на каком вы станке работаете

@@user-zg5vd2gl6n HAAS

We can't thank you enough for the kind words, Bill! We truly enjoy doing these videos.

Hi Keith. Check out our "ATP Probe Calibration" video for an explanation of where those settings are coming from. In short, the settings are telling the machine what diameter the probe stylus is "sitting in space" (+X and -X). Therefore, during an ATP cycle, the machine is looking at the location of the machine, and then using the setting as the "diameter it's currently touching". Thank you for watching!

Hello Ryan. Setting number 84 "Tool Overload Action" sets up "what happens" when a tool is in an overloaded condition. Your choices are "Alarm, Feed Hold, Beep, Auto Feed". Depending on the severity of the load, along with this setting, the machine will react accordingly. It will not tool change and pick up the cut, however. Thank you.

In short, every Haas lathe threads from the "Zero position of the chuck". When commanding M19, you are sending the spindle to the "Zero position of the chuck". When lining up the threading tool, into the thread groove, and then setting that as "G54 Z0, for example", you are synchronizing the Z-work shift, with the Zero Position of the chuck, which allowing you to run a standard program / cycle, and cut the thread. Now.... When you line up in the "2nd thread back", you have just set G54 Z0 about 1/4" negative of the face. This is how you would "push back" the connection, by re-facing it, turning the shoulder back, and rethreading (most popular way to repair a badly damaged oilfield connection). If you do not want to "push the thread back", you would need to make a positive work shift by 1 thread, 2 threads, or 3 threads (depending on where you dropped the tool into the lead). You MUST make this shift in thread-lead increments to remain in lead with the thread. Hope this helps. Simple as Pie / Hard to explain, LOL.

@@Darren_HFO_Champions tnx .. I understand better what is happening now... I managed to repair some fine metric threads that got dented by using information in this video. :)
