post for Haas TL 1 Lathe

[john bowersett]

I would like to get a post for a Haas TL1 lathe or a program that shows the correct structure for G-code programs for that contoller. Any help would be appreciated.

Yours, John Bowersett

You got a reseller?

 

Sorry I got to ask.

[john bowersett]

Yes I do. It's Prism Engineering. Usually, when I get a new post from them, they ask what I want the output to look like. As this is a new machine for us, I don't know what structure it should have. That's why I asked for a posted file.

I belive for the most part (I am not a lathe guy)

you should have a good working haas post on your factory CD. The posts for haas machines are pretty close ready to run off the disk.

Haas site and your haas operator manual should have sample code. Also the Haas post that comes on the MC disk should get you parts the only changes you will need is your you personal preferences.

 

The guys at Prism really want you to get the most out of your MC seat. Phil will hook you up. Just don't tell him I said anything nice about him. It makes it tuff to harass him.

I believe that the TL1 will run regular G-code programs but I'm not sure about toolchanges; are they manual in those or does it have a turret? 'Real' Haas lathes are almost identical to Fanuc controlled machines for canned cycles, reference returns, etc so I think I'd go with MPLFAN as a starting point. The applications guys at your HFO should have sample programs you can have to start with as they must have programs to run on Demo Days, at the shows, etc...

Thanks to all for the feedback. I will look at the generic posts on the CD and go from there.
