    Renishaw HAAS TM-3P ASSISTANCE

    I ran a .25" end mill to cut a .3750" hole and it was undersized by about .0025" using Meyer Z- gage pins.

    Renishaw HAAS TM-3P ASSISTANCE

    I put a Maritool Master Calibration tool (.3000 diameter with .0003"TIR) and the diameter measured .3000".

    Renishaw HAAS TM-3P ASSISTANCE

    yes, I have indicated the foot to .0001" or less. this is a "new generation" controller. Machine is 2 years old. Problems began shortly after installation. I do use the VPS probing and cutting routines.

    Renishaw HAAS TM-3P ASSISTANCE

    All cuts were in 6061-6 aluminum block 4"long x 2"wide and x 3"thick. I have run the majority of cuts at .0010" - .0025" per side (4 sides) and 12.0 ipm. a couple at .0100" per side at 12.0 ipm. Same results. Thus, I have ruled out deflection. I guess I have another issue that has not been...

    sorry for the poor wording. The part is oversized.

    Renishaw HAAS TM-3P ASSISTANCE

    Yes, I have checked the cutters for runout and they have been .0002" - .0005" for the tested cutters. My thinking was that if the cutter did have runout , it would reflect in the probing result but, would also reflect in the actual cut. Therefore, I thought there would be no impact on the actual...

    Renishaw HAAS TM-3P ASSISTANCE

    Thank you for the reply. You have made a number of inaccurate assumptions: 1. I have learned a great deal from the helpful posts that I did receive. 2. I am aware of "deflection". My assumption was that, given the diameter variation of .003", using 6061-6 4"x6" solid block squared and mic'd to...

    Renishaw HAAS TM-3P ASSISTANCE

    My HAAS TM-3P is in Germantown, MD. I am looking for an expert machinist to verify the diameter probing problem that I just can not figure out. The folks from HAAS/Phillips can not figure it out either. The problem is that the probing diameter routine is generating a tool diameter that is too...

    Haas OTS Probe Tool Diameter off?

    HAAS Probing Problems I have adjusted the OTS Probe surface to less than one tenth in X and Y. What did you do with the HAAS Calibration tool?

    Haas OTS Probe Tool Diameter off?

    yes, I have dealt with this problem for over a year on new machine I have a HAAS TM-3P New next Gen. mill now for over 1 year. The Wireless Renishaw Probe (accurate to a couple of tenths) I have is an OMP-40 Work probe and an OTS Tool Probe. Both dialed in using a Maritool Master and Mitutoyo...

    HAAS Renishaw Probing Problem

    response I indicated the OMP-40 stylus to less than .0001. Discrepancy is in the diameter of ALL tools probed, including the Calibration Master. The diameter discrepancy in the 4 tools probed were .0030, .0032, .0040 and .0060 with the larger diameter tools at the high end. After changing the...

    HAAS Renishaw Probing Problem

    I am in Darnestown I just re-probed a new Maritool .25" end mill that was probed 2 days ago at L 4.2357 D .2523 Wear Offset to get to actual cut at .0032. This tool just probed at L 4.2354 D .2514 Wear 0.0000. Actual cut was .2501. I have offered to pay for 4 hours of on-site training for the...

    HAAS Renishaw Probing Problem

    OTS leveling . Thank you for the reply. yes, the OTS has been completely removed, cleaned, reinstalled and leveled to less than .0001" X and Y. I have since checked it twice and it remained at less than .0001". None of these results make any sense to me but, something is clearly wrong and...

    HAAS Renishaw Probing Problem

    HAAS Renishaw Probing problem Stefan, Thanks for the help. If I change the diameter of the Calibration Master during the Cal. routine by subtracting .0046, that will then apply to all the tools probed and they are not all off by that amount. If this were an old machine maybe that would be...

    HAAS greasing problem

    There are no kinks in the lines (that were visible to me with a mirror). It appears that others have had this problem and corrected it themselves. The HAAS reps (Phillips Corp.) have been out and flushed the lines with hydraulic oil. That did not do anything. Their position is that they "fixed"...
