Hi There Arun
I'm sorry, I know about normal tables which are come with machines. This is not my speciality to advise you about "hydrostic table and chuck". If you have any question or need any help on machine maintenance/application specially on CNC's, I will be more than happy to help you.

Thanks
Harvey

Hi Mr.Harvey,
We have a ZPS Turning center Model S50 CNC with Fanuc 0-TC control.
In AUTO Operation Mode , the machine stops during operation without
giving any alarm message. Key board is locked after this and no other
operation is possible. Every time machine stops at different block.
Turret, Tailstock, Spindle, Clamping/ Unclamping of chuck and
automatic lubrication devices are working properly. Every time we have to switch off and then switch on the machine to resume operation. Please suggest
some suitable remedy to this problem.

Regards
Tariq Ahmad

we are having 2 m/cing centre and 1 turning centre (vf-2, vm2 and sl-30)

we are getting too frequent b/down of machine for Z axis amplifier shortcircuit , reason is yet to be find.

basically we are machining CI raw material with chips in dust form, and can't use coolent .

M/c tool service engineer highlight the problem of dust in m/c panel..

please help and your kind guide required in this matter.

Hi Harvey
I have a Haas mini mill 2005 owned since new no problems until now. Did not use for last 3 months, set up and ran and got this error "Y limit switch" I hit reset and then home which gave me this error "no zero Y" I then hit "power up" to get back the Y zero and tried to run again with the same result. I then ran it with no part and it ran fine, so I put in a part and tried to run but as soon as the cutter starts cutting I have the same problem, I am thinking that the vibration of the cutting is causing the problem, maybe a loose sensor connection. what do you think, would very much appreciate your help.

Hi Harvey,

Brand new here, my first post.

I have a Haas VF-OE bought new in 1998

It has very little use over all these years.

The machine sat idle in an unheated shop here in the northeast US for over a year and a half. Last week I fired the machine but could not clear the alarms, it was 25 degrees F, so I brought in some heaters and once the temp reached 55 f I was able to clear the alams and power up.
As the manual recommends after sitting for any length of time I ran a spindle warm up, after about 4 hours I went to shut down the machine for the day and realized I had an alarm (163 Z axis Drive Fault) thing is I never moved the axis after the spindle warm up began. I did find a blown fuse 1/2 amp, replaced it hoping that was the problem but that did not work. Any ideas? It will cost me $400 just to have a tech come to visit!

Thanks,

Caitolly

PS: Any ideas from others would be appreciated

Basically dust can effect the electronics but it cant blow your Z amplier all the time. because these amplifier are too small and doesnt have any inbuilt cooling fan. they have cooling fan on bottom sie only. You might wana check the load on z-axis motor, lubrication system, DC link power supply. Your main input power to the machine and electrical load distribution by calling your loacl electrician. Please leave you contact number in my email. I will call you within 5-10hrs.

Harvey, Sounds like your the man that can answer the question I need answered ! I started a new job 2 days ago and they have a new Haas Lathe. I am used to running Hardinge's and Takisawa's that have a WORSHIFT page that I set my workshift to the face of my stock. On the Haas I dont seem to see a page called WORKSHIFT, but I do see a page with G54, G55,G56. In the manual it claims by default it uses G54. When I go to change to another job, How do I change my (WORKSHIFT) or G54 ? Do I face new length of stock and enter "0" in Z under G54 ? or do I just press ZMEASURE again and will that shift every tool ? That doesnt make sense tho ? Or am I not seeing a page that I should be ?
Your help would definetly be appreciated, Thanks In advance

Hello Harvey,

Would you happen to know the procedures in setting the backlash on all of the axis on a 2008 HAAS VF2?

Thanks,
Herb

Hi Harvey;
I use a Haas Mini Mill with the 6k max rpm spindle. I'm fairly new to G code machines, about 2+ years and it has been 15 yrs+ since I used a conversational machine, that being a Prototrax.
I'm not so comfortable using the spd/feed calculator during programing. I just feel that it tends to be excessive even at the starting sfm. By comparison the Machinists Handbook and my CNC Programing book by Peter Shmid are more conservative. I don't think that I have actually used any calculated rates since I have been using this machine.
Am I missing something?
Thank You

ProtoTrak is 100% conversational programming and very very easy and just need to punch numbers. In Haas, i guess feed/speeds calculations are not any different...to get exact feed/speeds you should have experience or able to use calculator to calculate feed speeds. On Haas go to calculator display, it's very usefull tool or go to quick codes or use VQC display these are alternatives tools of help and very convenient.

Harvey,

Hi. I am new to the forumns. I have a Haas TL-3 Lathe and got a problem with the spindle belt. Never had a problem until last week. Started her up in the morning and have what i would describe as a belt snapping at startup of the spindle 400 RPM and up. Talked to a service guy and he was convinced it was just time to replace belt. Got a new belt tensioned it properly and proble went away. 2 days later again in morning at startup the problem came back with new belt. Thought maybe i over/under tensioned it. but no results. Started and stopped spindle 10-15 times at 500RPM. and magically it stopped. What the heck? Is the motor possibly a problem?

Harvey; another question for you we just purchased a sl-20 and we are getting a "servo bar" alarm. what can you tell me about this. thanks in advance.

[Rick52]

We have a Haas VF-0 which seems to be throwing errors after running for a little while. It started by giving a 141 Error ( Z Motor Z Fault). Then it gave a 145 Error ( X Limit Switch). These were both reset with Auto All Axis. Then it gave a 145, 160 & 112 Errors. we reset those and got a 141 Error again. Reset that and then got 154, 112 & 139 errors. We powered down the machine. Next day we were running the machine and after completing a T4 operation it went for a T5 tool change it got an alarm 113 Shuttle Fault. the program then jumped ahead several lines to after the T6 M06 line. We reset the machine and started running the program again. After awhile the display and interface panel stopped responding and when a key was pressed only got a distorted sounding beep. The program continued to run and fed hold would not respond. Pressing E stop turned off the spindle but not the coolant flow. After restarting machine it ran fine for a few minutes and then the display and interface panel stopped responding and got the weird distorted sounding beep when any key was pressed. Would you have any idea what could be causing these actions. Any suggestions on what to check would be appreciated. Thanks.

We have a Haas that is getting a 184 z cable fault. Any ideas where to start looking?
