  Simple, intuitive and more powerful than ever...
It’s getting harder and harder to find machine operators who are experts in G-code programming. In reality, it’s often impossible. Now, thanks to Haas’ Intuitive Programming System, it’s no longer necessary for a machine operator to know G code for basic turning operations. Available for our complete line of turning centers, the IPS software comes standard on our Toolroom Series machines, and is optional on our SL Series machines.

The Haas Intuitive Programming System is a proprietary conversational operating system that makes cutting parts and creating part programs nearly effortless. Using an easy-to-read format with full-color graphics, the IPS guides the operator through the steps necessary to machine a part. The operator simply chooses an operation, touches off the X and Z surfaces, and is then prompted to enter basic dimension information. Default values for feed per revolution, spindle speed and depth of cut are entered automatically by the control, but these values may be changed by the operator. Once all necessary information is entered, a push of the Cycle Start button performs the desired operation. A Recorder function allows multiple operations to be recorded and saved, so that the information can be played back to duplicate the part. Operations that would be difficult – or even impossible – on a manual machine, such as radii, tapers, profiles, grooving, ID and OD threading, and rigid tapping, are all possible on Haas lathes without knowledge of G-code programming. Help menus are available directly on-screen, and a dry-run graphics feature allows operators to check their work before running a part.
 
Powerful new features:

  • Programmed from the centerline using tool offsets.

  • Allows programs created in the Intuitive Programming System to be saved and rerun at a later date, or transferred to a Haas SL series production turning center as standard G-code.

  • IPS upgraded threading feature:

    • Machine tapered threads based on the amount of taper per foot.

    • Choose right- or left-hand threads.

    • Chamfer out or straight pull-out at thread's end

    • Thread repair operations for straight, tapered, right-hand or left-hand, inside or outside diameter threads, without the need to orient the spindle to a known position.
 
Using plain language, simple graphics and easy-to-follow steps, the Haas Intuitive Programming System guides the operator through the steps necessary to machine a part.
  1. Use the top tab menu to select a cutting operation to perform.
  2. Fill in the requested information and press Cycle Start.
  3. Further define your specific cutting operation by choosing from the lower set of tabs.
