renishaw and haas vf4

[malibu]

hi all,

I am going to start using this renishaw probe on a haas vf4, so here is my first question.

 

 

on a corner find is asking me for offset and xyz

do I have to input xyz dimension on positive value?

excuse my ignorance

[Lars Christensen]

is this quick code on the haas or are you inputting directly into the macro program?

[malibu]

sorry, yes this is the quick code on the haas

[Jayson Kramer]

Are you getting the probing options on the screen that show you a graphic view of the option?

there is an option for say "X" positive probing then anther for "Y" minus probing.

 

it will ask you for the offset value were you want it stored.

 

oh and you need to jog it to the position within about .400 for example in "X".

[Lars Christensen]

What Jay is saying....

you have numbers that represent each corner 1-2-3-4 Code:

G65 P9023 A15. J(X*) I(Y*) B2.(=Upper Left Corner) S(Offset)

[malibu]

this option is only to one end corner.

it is asking offset?

x?

y?

z?

 

hmmmm I dont want to break my very first probe.

[Robert Ouellette]

x and y offset is distance from corner to probe. z offset is how far down from probe possition you want to probe part. i have the same probe on my tm2. if you have more questions just ask.

Robert ,

question is do I input negative yz values?

or all positive?

[Robert Ouellette]

x and y positive z negative

the number coresponding to the corner you want to probe will change the x or y or both to positive or negative. x and y value lets you probe a corner that is cut out or had a rad or chamfer on it. z tells it how far down to probe if you have a rad or chamfer or somehing that would interfer with probe tip

[malibu]

thank you Robert

[Robert Ouellette]

you can also override feed rate for the first times you use it to slow things down. until you get the hang of it. also if you are using the macros it turns the probe on first then starts to move so if it hits something it is supposed to stop before it breaks. it does for me but my tm2 is not as fast as you vf4. but it should be using the same feed rate as mine.
