READ BEFORE OPERATING THIS MACHINE:

♦ Only authorized personnel should work on this machine. Untrained personnel present a hazard to
themselves and the machine, and improper operation will void the warranty .

♦ Check for damaged parts and tools before operating the machine. Any part or tool that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by authorized personnel. Do not operate the machine if any component does not
appear to be functioning correctly . Contact your shop supervisor .

♦ Use appropriate eye and ear protection while operating the machine. ANSI-approved impact safety goggles and
OSHA-approved ear protection are recommended to reduce the risks of sight damage and hearing loss.

♦ Do not operate the machine unless the doors are closed and the door interlocks are functioning properly .
Rotating cutting tools can cause severe injury . When a program is running, the mill table and spindle head can
move rapidly at any time in any direction.

♦ The Emergency Stop button (also known as an Emergency Power Of f button) is the large, circular red switch
located on the Control Panel. Pressing the Emergency Stop button will instantly stop all motion of the machine, the
servo motors, the tool changer, and the coolant pump. Use the Emergency S top button only in emergencies to avoid
crashing the machine.

♦ The electrical panel should be closed and the three latches on the control cabinet should be secured at all times
except during installation and service. At those times, only qualified electricians should have access to the panel.
When the main circuit breaker is on, there is high voltage throughout the electrical panel (including the circuit boards
and logic circuits) and some components operate at high temperatures. Therefore, extreme caution is required.
Once the machine is installed, the control cabinet must be locked and the key available only to qualified service
personnel.

♦♦

♦ DO NOT modify or alter this equipment in any way . If modifications are necessary, all such requests must be

♦♦

handled by Haas Automation, Inc. Any modification or alteration of any Haas Milling or Turning Center could lead to
personal injury and/or mechanical damage and will void your warranty .

♦ It is the shop owner’s responsibility to make sure that everyone who is involved in installing and operating the
machine is thoroughly acquainted with the installation, operation, and safety instructions provided with the machine
BEFORE they perform any actual work. The ultimate responsibility for safety rests with the shop owner and the
individuals who work with the machine.

♦♦

♦ This machine is automatically controlled and may start at any time.

♦♦

♦♦

♦ This machine can cause severe bodily injury .

♦♦

♦♦

♦ Do not operate with the doors open.

OVERRIDE K EYS

These keys give the user the ability to override the speed of non-cutting (rapid) axes motion, programmed feeds
and spindle speeds.

-10 - Decreases current feedrate by 10%.
100% - Sets overridden feedrate to programmed feedrate.
+10 - Increases current feedrate by 10%.

-10 - Decreases current spindle speed by 10%.
100% - Sets overridden spindle speed to programmed speed.
+10 - Increases current spindle speed by 10%.
Hand Cntrl Feed (Handle Control Feedrate) - Pressing this button allows the jog handle to be used to control

the feedrate in ±1% increments.
Hand Cntrl Spin (Handle Control Spindle) - Pressing this button allows the jog handle to be used to control

spindle speed in ±1% increments.

CW - S tarts the spindle in the clockwise direction. This button is disabled on CE (export) machines.
CCW - Start s the spindle in the counterclockwise direction. This button is disabled on CE (export) machines.

The spindle can be started or stopped with the CW or CCW buttons any time the machine is at a Single Block
stop or the Feed Hold button has been pressed. When the program is restarted with Cycle St art, the spindle
will be turned back on to the previously defined speed.

STOP - S top s the spindle.
5% / 25% / 50% / 100% Rapid - Limits machine rapids to the value on the key. The 100% Rapid button allows

maximum rapid.

Override Usage

The feedrate can be varied from 0% to 999% of the programmed value while in operation. This is done with the
feedrate +10%, -10% and 100% buttons. The feedrate override is ineffective during G74 and G84 tapping
cycles. Feedrate override does not change the speed of any auxiliary axes. During manual jogging, the feedrate
override will adjust the rates selected from the keypad. This allows for fine control of the jog speed.

The spindle speed can also be varied, from 0% to 999%, using the spindle overrides. It is also ineffective for
G74 and G84. In the Single Block mode, the spindle may be stopped. It will automatically start up upon
continuing the program (pressing Cycle St art).

By pressing the Handle Control Feedrate key , the jog handle can be used to control feedrate from 0% to 999%
in ±1% increments. By pressing the Handle Control S pindle key , the jog handle can be used to control spindle
speed in ±1% increments (from 0% to 999%).

Rapid moves (G00) may be limited to 5%, 25%, or 50% of maximum using the keypad. If the 100% rapid is too
fast, it may be set to 50% of maximum by Setting 10.

In the Settings page, it is possible to disable the override keys so that the operator cannot select them. These
are Settings 19, 20 and 21.

in the same row are made available to the user. The current mode is always displayed on the top line just to
the right of the current display in between parenthesis.

Edit- Selects edit mode. This mode is used to edit programs in control's memory.
Insert - Pressing this button will enter commands into the program in front of the cursor. This button will also

insert the text from the clipboard to the current cursor location, and is also used to copy blocks of code in a
program (See Advanced Editor Section)

Alter - Pressing this button will change the highlighted command or text to the newly entered commands or
text. This button will also change the highlighted variables to the text stored in the clipboard, or move a se­lected block to another location.

Delete - Deletes the item that the cursor is on, or deletes a selected program block.
Undo - Undoes up to the last 9 edit changes, and deselects a highlighted block.
MEM (Memory) - Selects the memory mode. This page displays the current program that is selected in the list

of programs.
Single Block - Turns single block on or off. When single block is on, only one block of the program is ex-

ecuted, for every press of Cycle Start.
Dry Run - This is used to check actual machine movement without cutting a part. (See the Dry Run section in

the Operation Chapter)
Opt Stop (Optional Stop) - T urns on and off optional stops. Also see G103 in the G-Code chapter .
When this feature is ON and an M01 (optional stop) code is programmed, the machine will stop when it

reaches the M01. The machine will continue once Cycle S tart is pressed. However , depending on the look­ahead function (G103), it may not stop immediately (See block look ahead section). In other words, the block
look-ahead feature may cause the Optional Stop command to ignore the nearest M01.

If the Optional Stop button is pressed during a program it will take ef fect on the line after the highlighted line
when the Opt Stop button is pressed.

Block Delete - Turns On/Off block delete function. Blocks with a slash (“/”) as the first item are ignored (not
executed) when this option is enabled. If a slash is within a line of code, the commands after the slash will be
ignored if this feature is enabled. Block Delete will take effect two lines after Block Delete is pressed, except
when cutter compensation is used, in this case, block delete will not take effect until at least four lines after
the highlighted line. Processing will slow down for paths containing block deletes during high-speed machining.
Block Delete will stay active when power is cycled.

MDI/DNC - MDI mode is the “Manual Data Entry” mode where a program can be written but it is not entered
into memory. DNC mode “Direct Numeric Control”, allows large programs to be “drip fed” into the control so it
can be executed (See DNC mode section)

Coolnt (Coolant) - Turns the optional coolant on and off.
Orient Spindle - Rotates the spindle to a given position and then locks the spindle. Can be used during setup

Work Display

This displays the position of X, Y and Z in relation to the part; not machine zero. On power-up, it will display the
value in work offset G54 automatically . The position can only be changed by entering values in work of fsets
G54 through G59, G1 10 through G129, or by commanding a G92 in a program.

Machine Display

This display is the actual axes position away from machine zero.

Distance T o Go

This display shows the distance remaining before the axes reaches its commanded position.

OFFSETS D ISPLAY

There are two offsets pages. The first offset page is the Tool Geometry/Wear page. The second is the Work
Zero offset page.

Tool Geometry/Wear

The Tool/Geometry page is displayed by pressing the Offset button. This page displays tool numbers, tool
length geometry and wear values, tool radius geometry and wear values, flutes values and actual diameter
values. If the mill has the optional programmable coolant unit, this page will also display the coolant position
entered for each tool. To enter values into these fields key in a number and press F1. Keying in a number and
pressing F2 will set the negative of the entered value into the offsets. Entering a value and pressing Write/Enter
will add the value to what is currently entered. To clear all the values on the page press Origin, the mill will
prompt the operator with "Zero All (Y/N) press Y to zero all or press N to leave all the values unchanged.

Work Zero Offset

The Work Zero Offset page is displayed by pressing the Offset button twice. This page displays the values
entered so that each tool knows where the part is located on the table. A value can be set for each axis (X,Y
and Z). The operator can scroll to each column by using the arrow key or by pressing the Page Up or Down
buttons to access the other offsets in the Work Zero section. In order for each tool to locate the part, the tools
used in a program must be "T ouched of f" the part. A value can be entered by typing in a number and pressing
F1, or the value added to an existing value by pressing Enter/Write. Keying in a number and pressing F2 will
set the negative of the entered value into the offsets. To clear all the values on the page press Origin, the mill
will prompt the operator with "Zero All (Y/N) press Y to zero all or press N to leave all the values unchanged.

CURRENT C OMMANDS D ISPLAY

The following are several Current Command pages in the control. Press the Current Commands button and use
the Page Up/Down buttons to navigate through the pages.

Program Command Check Display This display shows a current overview of the important commands. It
shows the programmed spindle speed (PGM), the commanded spindle speed commanded by the program
(CMD), and the actual spindle speed (ACT). In addition, this display shows the CW, CCW , or stopped com­mand being sent to the spindle and the current transmission gear (if equipped) position.

This display also shows the position of the axes. There are four coordinates displayed (operator , work, ma­chine, or distance to go) and are selected using the cursor Up/Down or Page Up/Down keys.

If the machine has the optional Programmable Coolant (P-Cool), the current spigot position will be displayed as
well.

Current Display Command This display shows the current program codes and their current value. These
values may not be changed in this display.

Macro Variables Display This display shows a list of the macro variables and their present values. As the
control runs the program, the variables will be updated. In addition the variables may be modified in this display;
refer to the “Macros” section for more information.

18

Introduction

96-8000 rev R June 2007

Operation Timers Display This display shows the current power-on time, cycle start time (the amount of total
time the machine has been running a program), and the feed time (total amount of time the machine has been
feeding). These times may be reset to zero by using the cursor up and down keys to highlight the desired title
and pressing the ORIGIN button.

Listed below these times are two M30 counters, these counters are used for counting completed parts. They
may be set to zero independently to provide for the number of parts per shift and total parts.

T ool Life display This display shows the time the tool is used in a feed (Feed-Time), the time the tool is in the
spindle (T ot al-Time), and the number of times the tool has been selected (Usage). This information is used to
assist in predicting tool life. The values in this display can be reset to zero by highlighting the value and
pressing the Origin button. Note: The maximum value is 32767, once this value is reached, the control will start
back at zero.

This display may also be used to generate an alarm when a tool has been used a specific number of times.
The last column is labeled “Alarm,” entering a number in that column will cause the machine to generate an
alarm (#362 T ool Usage Alarm) when that count is reached.

T ool Load Monitor and Display The operator can enter the maximum amount of tool load, in %, that is
expected for each tool. The operator can select the appropriate action to be taken when this load is exceeded.
This display provides for the entry of this alarm point and also displays the largest load that tool has seen in a
previous feed.

NOTE: Surface Feet per Minute (SFM) and Chip Load are displayed on the Current Commands page. SFM is
displayed as fpm (feet per minute) or mpm (meters per minute).

The tool load monitor function operates whenever the machine is in a feed operation (G01, G02, or G03). If the
limit is exceeded the action specified in Setting 84 will occur (See settings section for a description).

Axis Load Monitor Axis load is 100% to represent the maximum continuous load. Up to 250% can be shown,
however an axis load above 100%, for an extended period of time, can lead to an overload alarm.

Maintenance This page allows the operator to activate and deactivate a series of checks (see Maintenance
section).

ALARMS / MESSAGES D ISPLAY

Alarms

The Alarms display is selected by pressing the ALARM / MESGS button. There are three types of Alarms
screens. The first shows any current alarms. Pressing the Right Arrow key switches to the Alarm History
screen, which shows the previously received alarms. Pressing Right Arrow again switches to the alarm viewer
screen. This screen shows one alarm at a time with its description. The user can then scroll through all the
alarms by pressing the Up and Down Arrow keys. Also, the user can enter an alarm number and press W rite/
Enter and the name and description will be displayed. Pressing Page Down will display a page for user mes­sages and notes.

Note: The Cursor and Page Up and Page Down buttons can be used to move through a large number of alarms.

Messages

The Message Display can be selected by pressing the Alarm/Mesgs button twice. This is an operator message
display and has no other effect on operation of the control. Use the keypad to enter the messages. The cancel
and space buttons can be used to remove existing messages and the Delete button can be used to remove an
entire line. Data is automatically stored and maintained even in a power-off state. The message display page
will come up during power-up if there are no alarms present.

SETTING / GRAPHIC D ISPLAY F UNCTION

The Settings are selected by pressing the Setng/Graph button. There are some special functions in the
settings which change the way the mill behaves; refer to the “Settings” section for a more detailed description.

The Graphics function is selected by pressing the Setng/Graph button twice. Graphics is a visual dry run of
your part program without the need to move the axes and risk tool or part damage from programming errors.
This function may be considered more useful than the Dry Run mode, because all of your work offsets, tool
offsets, and travel limits can be checked before running the machine. The risk of a crash during setup is greatly
reduced.

Graphics Mode Operation

T o run a program in Graphics, a program must be loaded and the control must be in either MEM or MDI mode.
Press the Setng/Graph key twice to select the Graphics Mode.

The Graphics display has a number of features within it.
Key Help Area The right side of the top line is the function key help area. Function keys that are currently

available are displayed here with a brief description of their usage.
Locator Window The lower right part of the screen has two modes. It can display the whole table area and

indicate where the tool is currently located during simulation. Or it can be used to display four lines of the
program that is being executed. The F4 key is used to toggle between these two modes.

T ool Path Window In the center of the display is a large window that represent s a top view of the X and Y
axes. It displays tool paths during a graphics simulation of the program. Rapid moves are displayed as dotted
lines, while feed motion is displayed as fine continuous lines. (Note: Setting 4 can disable the rapid path.) The
places where a drilling canned cycle is used are marked with an X. Note: Setting 5 can disable the drill mark.

Scaling the Tool Path W indow The tool p ath window can be scaled. After running a program, pressing F2
will scale the tool path. Use the Page Down key and the arrow keys to select the portion of the tool path to be
magnified. Pressing F2 will display a rectangle (zoom window) indicating the magnified area. Note: The Help
area will flash, indicating the view rescaling process. The locator window (small view at the bottom right) shows
the entire table with an outline of where the Tool Path window is zoomed. The Page Up key reduces the zoom
(unzooms) the rectangle one step. After sizing and/or moving the zoom window , pressing the Write/Enter key
will complete the zoom process and re-scale the Tool Path window . After the Tool Path window is re-scaled, the
T ool Path window is cleared and the program must be re-run to see the tool p ath.

The scale and position of the Tool Path window is saved in Settings 65 through 68. Leaving graphics to edit the
program and then returning to Graphics will keep the previous scaling in effect.

Pressing F2 and then the Home key will expand the Tool Path window to cover the entire table.
Z Axis Part Zero Line This feature consists of a horizontal line displayed on the Z-axis bar at the top-right

corner of the graphics screen to indicate the position of the current Z-axis work offset plus the length of the
current tool. While a program is running, the shaded portion of the bar indicates the depth of Z-axis motion. The
user is able to watch the position of the tool tip relative to the Z-axis part zero position as the program runs.

Control Status The lower left portion of the screen displays control status. It is the same as the last four lines
of all other displays.

Position Window The location of all enabled axes can be viewed in this window. Press F3 to open this
window. Additional presses of the F3 key or the up and down arrows will display the various position format s.
This window also displays the current scale of the tool path window and the current simulated tool number .

DATE AND T IME

The control contains a clock and date function. To view the time and date, press the Help button until the date
and time appears.

Setting the date and time, use the Up and Down arrow keys to select the date or time. Use the Right and Left
arrow keys or the jog handle to make adjustments.

SCREEN S AVER

The Haas machine includes a screen saver for the operator’s pendant. Af ter a period of time, with no keyboard
activity the screen saver will start. When the screen saver is active, the words “Screen saver” will be displayed
and will change positions every 2 seconds. The screen saver is cancelled by any key press, jog handle motion
or machine alarm. The screen saver will not activate if the control is in Sleep, Jog, Edit, Graphics, MEM or MDI
mode with the PRGRM screen displayed.

HELP / CALCULATOR F UNCTION

Help

The Help Feature is selected by pressing the Help button, which will display a mini-manual.
Use the alphanumeric buttons to select the topics, or use the Page Up/Down button or Up/Down arrows to

navigate through the help topics and descriptions.

Calculator

The Calculator function is selected by pressing the Help key twice. Use the Page Up / Down keys to move
through the pages.

All of the Calculator functions will do simple add, subtract, multiply , and divide operations. When one of the
functions is selected, a calculator window appears with the possible operations (LOAD, +, -, *, and /). LOAD is
initially highlighted, and the other options can be selected with the left and right cursor arrows. Numbers are
entered by typing them in and pressing the Write/Enter key . When a number is entered and LOAD is selected,
that number will be entered into the calculator window directly . When a number is entered when one of the
other functions (+ - * /) is selected, that calculation will be performed with the number just entered and any
number that was already in the calculator window. The calculator will also accept a mathematical expression
such as 23*4-5.2+6/2. It will evaluate it (doing multiplication and division first) and place the result, 89.8 in this
case, in the window.

Function Keys: The function keys can be used to copy and paste the calculated results into a section of a
program or into another area of the Calculator feature.

F3 In EDIT and MDI modes the F3 key will copy the highlighted triangle/circular milling/tapping value into the
data entry line at the bottom of the screen. This is useful when the calculated solution will be used in a pro­gram.

In the Calculator function, pressing F3 copies the value in the calculator window to the highlighted data entry for
Trig, Circular or Milling/Tapping calculations.

F4 In the Calculator function, this button uses the highlighted Trig, Circular or Milling/Tapping data value to
load, add, subtract, multiply , or divide with the calculator .

Trigonometry Help Function

The Trigonometry calculator page will help solve a triangular problem. Enter the lengths and the angles of a
triangle and when enough data has been entered, the control will solve for the triangle and display the rest of
the values. Use the Cursor Up/Down buttons to select the value to be entered with WRITE. For inputs that have
more than one solution, entering the last data value a second time will cause the next possible solution to be
displayed.

Circle-Circle Tangent Calculator

This feature provides the ability to determine points of intersection between two circles or points. The user
provides the location of two circles and their radii. The control then calculates all the intersection points that
are formed by lines tangent to both circles. Note: For every input condition where there are two disjointed
circles, there are up to eight intersection points. Four points are obtained from drawing straight tangents and
four points by forming cross tangents. The F1 key is used to toggle between the two diagrams. When "F" is
pressed, the control will prompt for the from and to points (A, B, C, etc.) that specify a segment of the diagram.
If the segment is an arc, the control will also prompt for C or W (CW or CCW). Sample G code is then dis­played at the bottom of the screen. When "T" is entered, the previous to point becomes the new from point and
the control prompts for a new to point. To enter the solution (line of code), switch to MDI or Edit and press F3,
as the G-code is already on the input line.

Milling/Tapping Help

The Milling/T apping Help page will help you solve equations relating to milling and t apping. They are:

1. SFM (Surface Feet per Minute) = (CUTTER DIAMETER IN.) * RPM * 3.14159 / 12

2. (FEED IN./MIN.) = RPM / (THREAD PITCH)

3. (CHIP LOAD IN.) = (FEED IN./MIN.) / RPM / #FLUTES

Enter all but one of the values and the control will compute the remaining value. Note that the RPM value for
the first two equations are the same entry .
