Haas products are constantly improving and developing. I love working with Haas because they actually listen to customers.
Every company claims to do this. We all know that some of the software and machines we use everyday have annoying faults that just never seem to be picked up on by the designers.
Anyway you all know I get pissed off about this if you ever read anything I write. Here is an example.
Did you ever work on a machine with a random tool-changer?
This is a CNC Milling machine that gets the tool out of the spindle and puts it back into the nearest pocket. Could be a Fanuc control Mazak control, Heidenhain. So when you look round the back of the machine at the pockets, the pocket numbers bear no resemblance to the actual tool numbers.
Anyway you go round the back of the machine and you see a tool you want. An M10 tap maybe. I want that M10 tap so I have to go all through my tool lists or whatever to find what tool number it is.
I hope you get me so far. So I find there is an M10 tap called T06 and I call it to the spindle. Oh dear there are two M10 taps and I got the wrong one. In real life I would probably say bollocks but I am trying to make these articles more classy by reducing the profanities.
