    To help ensure that CNC tool dangers are quickly communicated and understood, hazard symbol decals are placed on Haas Machines in locations where hazards exist. If decals become damaged or worn, or if additional decals are needed to emphasize a particular safety point, contact your dealer or the Haas factory. Never allow anyone to alter or remove any safety decal or symbol.

    In order for the mill to accurately machine a work piece, the mill needs to know where the part is located on the table. Jog the mill with a pointer tool in the spindle, until it reaches the top left corner of the part (see the following illustration) this position is part zero.

The pallet changer rotates the pallets 180 , then back;...
  • Page 64 If a parts program encounters an M50 (without a P code) and the Part Ready button has not been pressed, the control will pause operation, the beacon will blink green, and the message “None Scheduled” is displayed. The mill will wait until the Part Ready button has been pressed, or the PST has been updated, before performing the pallet change.
  • Page 65 Method 2 Although the previous method is recommended, the pallet changer can also be operated without automatic se- quencing or PST inputs. This is done using M50 with a P code. For proper operation M50 must be preceded by M36. M36 P1 before the M50 P1 will check that pallet #1 is ready. Pallets can be changed without automatic sequencing or PST inputs.
  • Page 66 Description: The first loop through program O00001 will load pallet #2 (M50) and run program O06012 (G188 selects program from PST for pallet #2).

  • Page 75: Subroutines

    SUBROUTINES Subroutines (subprograms) are usually a series of commands that are repeated several times in a program. Instead of repeating the commands many times in the main program, subroutines are written in a separate program. The main program then has a single command that “calls” the subroutine program. A subroutine is called using M97 or M98 and a P address.

The canned cycle is executed every time an X and/or Y-axis motion is programmed.

    M CODES (MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS) M Code Introduction M-Codes are non axes moving commands for the machine. The format for an M code is the letter “M” followed by two numbers, for example M03. Only one M code may be programmed per line of code. All M codes take effect at the end of the block. M00 Stop Program The M00 code is used to stop a program.

  • Page 182: Settings

    SETTINGS Introduction Settings are machine conditions that have an affect on machine operation. In general, settings allow the operator or setup person to lock out, turn on or specify functions. The settings are organized into pages of similar groups rather than numeric order. This puts associated settings on the same displayed page.
  • Page 183 5 Graphics Drill Point This setting changes the way a program is viewed in Graphics mode. When it is ON, motion in the Z-axis will leave an X mark on the screen. When it is OFF, no additional marks are shown on the graphics display. 6 Front Panel Lock This Setting disables the Spindle CW and CCW buttons when it is set to “ON”.
  • Page 184 12 Parity Select This setting defines parity for the first serial port (RS-232). When set to None, no parity bit is added to the serial data. When set to Zero, a 0 bit is added. Even and Odd work like normal parity functions. Make sure you know what your system needs, for example, XMODEM must use 8 data bits and no parity (set to “None”).
  • Page 185 33 Coordinate System This setting changes the way the Haas control recognizes the work offset system when a G52 or G92 is pro- grammed. It can be set to FANUC, HAAS, or YASNAC. Set to YASNAC G52 becomes another work offset, just like using a G55.
  • Page 186 Set to FANUC or HAAS with G92: Selecting FANUC or HAAS with a G92, it will work like the YASNAC setting, except that the new Work Zero location value will be loaded as new G92. This new value in the G92 list will be used, in addition to, the presently recognized work offset to define the new work zero location.
  • Page 187 40 Tool Offset Measure This setting selects how tool size is specified for cutter compensation. It can be set to either Radius or Diameter. 41 Add Spaces RS232 Out When this setting is ON spaces are added between address codes when a program is sent out via RS-232 serial port 1.
  • Page 188 50 Aux Axis Sync This changes the synchronization between sender and receiver for the second serial port. The second serial port is used for auxiliary axes. The settings between the CNC control and the auxiliary axes must be the same. Selecting “RTS/CTS”...
  • Page 189 58 Cutter Compensation This setting selects the type of cutter compensation used (FANUC or YASNAC). See the cutter compensation section. 59 Probe Offset X+ 60 Probe Offset X- 61 Probe Offset Y+ 62 Probe Offset Y- These settings are used to define the displacement and size of the spindle probe. These four settings specify the travel distance and direction from where the probe is triggered to where the actual sensed surface is located.
  • Page 190 This setting allows the operator to select how the control interprets an F value (feedrate) that does not contain a decimal point. (It is recommended that programmers always use a decimal point.) This setting helps operators run programs developed on a control other than HAAS. For Example F12: Setting 77 OFF 0.0012units/minute Setting 77 ON 12.0 units/minute...
  • Page 191 #1 and then to the pocket containing the tool specified by Setting 81. A tool change will be performed to change the specified tool into the spindle. 82 Language Languages other than English are available in the Haas control. To change to another language, choose a language and press Enter. 83 M30 Resets Override When this setting is ON, an M30 will restore any overrides (feedrate, spindle, rapid) to their default values (100%).
  • Page 192 When the setting is zero, the scren saver is disabled. If setting is set to some number of minutes, then after that time with no keyboard activity, the screen saver will activate the Haas logo that will change position every 2 seconds (deactivate with any key press, handle jog or alarm).
  • Page 193 117 G143 Global Offset This setting is provided for customers who have several 5-axis Haas mills and want to transfer the programs and tools from one to another. The pivot length difference (difference between Setting 116 for each machine) can be entered into this setting, and it will be applied to the G143 tool length compensation.
  • Page 194 130 Tap Retract Speed This setting affects the retract speed during a tapping cycle. Entering a value, such as 2, will command the mill to retract the tap twice as fast as it went in. If the value is 3, it will retract three times as fast. A value of 0 or 1 will have no affect on the retract speed.
  • Page 195 136 Server This setting contains the user-entered server name (up to 8 characters long.) Enter a semicolon (EOB symbol) if the machine is not linked to a server. 137 Username This setting contains the user-entered account name (up to 8 characters long.)

These settings will allow the user to change the default number of hours for each item when it is initialized during use. If the number of hours is set to zero, the item will not appear in the list of items shown in the maintenance page of current commands.
