Reposition Haas Machine Mid Program

Reposition Haas Machine Mid Program

Reposition Haas  Mid-Program

Haas machines have the best program restart ever. (Providing you switch it on that is.)

You just move to a position in the program and press CYCLE START.

Piss easy.

Reposition Haas

But what if you want to stop a program and move the tool away to look at what you did?

Same Shit different Day

Did you ever work on a machine for years then some smart arse like me comes along and tells you something you didn’t realize it could do?

Well that happened to me the other day, except I did know but never got round to trying it. Anyway if I had said “oh I already knew that” he would have thought I was a smart arsed prick.

Needles to say I didn’t say that.

Back to Reposition Haas  Mid-Program

Well you guessed it they even thought of that.

It means you can drill a hole, move the drill away and have a good look inside and then continue with the program just like nothing ever happened.

Here We Go

First of all Press Feed Hold button.

Reposition Haas

Actually it’s not that one it’s the red one next to it, sorry but I don’t have an animated GIF for that.

Then press X, Y or Z followed by the Handle Jog button.

The control will now store the X, Y, and Z positions.

You will now see the message  “Jog Away”on the screen.

Now use your handwheel to move the tool away.

Reposition Haas

You can use other manual controls to stop spindle and coolant etc if you wish.

Do whatever you want to do.

  • Inspect the part.
  • Blow the hole out.
  • Remove your own appendix without anesthetic.

Now move the tool close to where it originally was making sure nothing is in the way for it to hit.

Now go back into memory mode.

Press Cycle Start.

Reposition Haas

The control will display the message “Jog Return”

X and Y will move back to position at 5% .

Then axis.

And bang away you go.

The program continues.

Anyway here is a little thing about a Hurco control that is really useful. One of the things I always teach my pupils, or victims as they are sometimes called is this.

You might not know it but if you put your memory stick into your Haas control then press and hold SHIFT as you press F1 you get a Haas screenshot or a (Haas screen capture) on your memory stick.

Haas Screenshot

It is really useful if you need help because you can save a record of what is on the screen.

With this Haas Screen Capture. You could use it for set up sheets. It will also be useful if you want to create training literature.

If you want to enter a name for your screen capture just input it before doing the above.

I love the fact that Haas are constantly improving their products the machines are so well thought out. They were the first ones to incorporate a coolant hose to clean down the machine.

Extras

I notice now some things do come as extras but they still come well loaded. It’s not like when you buy a car and you find that all the things that really attracted you to it (don’t we just love the toys) are extras.

Just having a memory stick on a machine is really good. I cant help but think that it seems to be taking so long for machine tool companies to really get to grips with technology.

Sometimes when I am training people who never worked a CNC before I feel embarrassed to say “oh the memory is like the size of a 1980’s calculator”

The editing on some controls (and I won’t name names, as I can’t retire yet) is poor to say the least. Students used to using a PC expect to be able to easily COPY and PASTE bits of programme.

Good luck with that one.

Fanuc Screen Capture

Yes you can do it.

Where’s The UNDO Button?

UNDO (don’t even go there) some do have it. But wouldn’t it be great if you could UNDO things like offset changes. These things are gradually coming in on new controls but I can’t believe how slow it’s all been.

And you thought this articcle was just about taking a Haas Screenshot

Anyway I’m rambling again (only doing it to get the word count up), I will be using this Haas Screen Capture all the time. Typical Haas practical, user friendly. Keep up the good work boys.

Fanuc Screen Shot

Yes Fanuc Does it Too

Go to a screen you would like to capture.

Press and hold the [SHIFT] button for 5 seconds.

The control appears to lock up for about 15 seconds.

Once it frees up an image will be on your memory stick or memory card.
