Haas servo rotary

[Roger]

I'm using a Haas servo controlled rotary indexer on a Mori Seiki mill. The mill is wired to use M25 for rotation. My problem with this is that when programming the rotary all my rotations have to be input at 3 times what I want.......

 

Example: 90 degrees is input as 270.000

Example: 45 degrees is input as 135.000

Example: 10 degrees is input as 30.000

 

Anyone every use a Haas servo controlled rotary? Is this the way yours was? Any help with this?

I think, you need to go in your machine MD/CD and change the rotation from CCW(or CW) to CW(or CCW).

Tinhman,

I'm not using Mastercam to input the codes. The indexer is programed separately for rotations, when the machine receives the M25 code it moves to the next pre-programed position.

I have used one before and it wasn't like that. When you program it for 90 you should get 90. I don't know what would cause that issue though. The manual should walk you through the programming of it or some trouble shooting steps to start with.

Sounds like your Encoder Steps Per Programmed Unit is set wrong. Check out page 46 parameter 9 and page 48 parameter 20 in the owners manual

You may need to change the model number of the indexer type in the parameters of the controller. We have several Haas 4ax mills, and we sometimes play musical rotaries. If I set the rotary type paramter to the wrong type, it will do just what you described.

Guyinthedesert, It's not being used with a Haas mill, (it's on a Mori-Seiki mill), and being used as a standalone indexer. Or like you where using it on a manual machine.

 

BenK, I will check the parameters tomorrow when I go in, They bought it used so I think you might be right with your suggestion. Thanks!

A big thank you for BenK! I did find on the Internet what should be the parameters for a RED Haas controller and checked it against what was set up on this controller.

 

There are some that don't match, but you had it right with parameter 9. It was set @ 4,000-so I changed it (multiplied by 3) to 12,000 and now it works great!!! :thumbsup:
