Programming coolant positions HAAS VF2

[METAL4GOD]

Does anyone know how to program the coolant positions using mc9 ? the machimne control has five positions, I just cant find it in the mc programming options.

Coolant position on Haas is in the offset page. When the program calls the tool/offset, the machine will change coolant position to match what is on the control offset page.

You cant control it in MC.

You set it at the first part while running on the machine.

When you start a program, go to offsets, tool, and highlight the column under the coolant.

Adjust the coolant with the coolant up or down keys. When you get what you want, press F1 to store the position.

Thank you. I never even thought to look in the machine control, duh.

You can control it via system variables. We have added logic to our toolchange macros to automatically adjust coolant position based on gage length.

Great idea!

 

Care to share how you did it? I'd love to have that in my posts.

Do you have a tool setter? You will need one to put the info in the post file.

That is a nice way to do it for production.
