Haas Machine Question

I dont recommend altering! this puts liability for everyone who touches into your hands!

we made a key for our kitamura horizontals but one of the model machines if you make

a pallet change with the door open BOOOOM every body heard it.so we just use the key for

setup purposes,and operators are ban from having these keys.

We have an old Vf-1 that has an over ride in the parameters we change that daily. and we also have two new VF-2's that have the door interlocks on them. They have to be cycled every morning along with the e stop button when we turn the machines power on. There is an over ride key on the end of the control. It limits your spindle to 750 rpm and 25% rapid. I hate the interlocks. You have to wait for the machine to allow you to open the door on M00 commands when tapping and we want to use some taping fluid on the tap.

Our installer was telling us that Haas was starting to do the interlocks because they are already a safety standard in Japan. Realistically, it doesn't bother me that much to cycle the key or stop the spindle to be able to open the door. It's just something that you have to deal with.
