  1. It is correct. And they will tell you all the extra lines are needed for Pro+ to do what it needs to do in regards to logic and re-machining. I've recently switched to the Cimco probing add-in and it was much better.
  2. On HH controls, the feed rate is defined at a factor of 10, so a true feed of 25 IPM on the HH control would be stated as F250. Also, to know if you are in inch or metric, just look at top of program on the name line, that is what defines the units.
  3. I'm no Haas guy but, if they use the same structure that renishaw puts on all other machine tools in what they call inspection plus, then yes. pm me and i can send you the renishaw/doosan probing manual for that machine.
  4. They use the same structure as the standard Renishaw macros, except for one minor change, instead of G65 P9811, you would use M165 P9811.
  5. The steel sealed collets are much better than the rubber sealed collets. Also remember if your holders are setup for flange and through spindle, you need to make sure the set screws in the flange are tight or you run a risk of forcing coolant into your spindle.
  6. Based on what the 2nd picture shows, if that is your first cut, it is deeper than the insert can handle and you will be rubbing the holder on the material.
  7. eVo is not made in China, the eco's are..
  8. G66 on most Fanuc, and also... http://books.google.com/books?id=YKvH-zYd3VwC&pg=PA98&lpg=PA98&dq=peter+smid+g66&source=bl&ots=CPNICaqZxG&sig=8EdcR05OCuZQlsA1NfVbbeh-79E&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Zm23UJvDBqWe2wWV8YDQBg&ved=0CD0Q6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=peter%20smid%20g66&f=false
  9. Thank you. You should do some searching on here about custom drill cycles. I was able to build my post up just from things I found on this site. If you have questions feel free to ask.
  10. Lot's of different ways. In the screen shot of the probe I probe each tapped hole location on the casting for setting a new Z-plane so that my chamfers are always the same size as the casting can be in different positions from earlier operations. I also probe ribs to center my drilled/tapped holes in the rib for the same reason. I also use the "4th Axis X Measure" cycle and can have an operator throw up a part and let the probe set the rotation for the B instead of the operator spending time indicating it in. Also on jobs that require minimum cleanup on a face I probe the face in multiple locations setting different offsets, then I have a custom macro i wrote that will find the "lowest" point of the Z work offsets and then set my offset to that value. Then I mill at -.005. And boom, guaranteed clean-up. I also use the probe to measure machined features and check tapers that would be difficult for an operator to check without pulling the part and going to the CMM.
