The HTS400 is a complete tool presetting solution that includes everything you need to start dramatically reducing your setup times – right out of the box. The Haas Tool Presetter moves the tool measurement function out of your machine – so it can continue making chips (and money) – and into the shop, where the hourly rate is lower.

The Haas HTS400 Presetter Includes:

• ISO40 Tool Sleeve
• Sturdy Universal Table Top / Cabinet with ISO40 Tool Tray
• Industrial Wireless Data Matrix Scanner
  
• Thermal Printer 
• Labels

Optional Tool Sleeves Available:

• ISO30 Taper
• ISO50 Taper
• HSK63A

Does your shop have a tool presetter? One that prints labels with tool offset data for each tool?

That’s great! Now go watch your operators. Are they literally typing the offsets into the machine from the labels?

Stop relying on fat-finger data entry! There is a MUCH better way.

With the HTS400, you have three options to get the tool offset data into your Haas control quickly and easily.

Tool Data Transfer Methods:

• Over wired LAN connection – Good
• Via portable USB memory device – Better
• Via wireless data matrix scanner – Best

Once a tool or group of tools is measured, you have several options to get the data into the Haas control.

Haas Next Generation Controls (NGC) with the latest software include support for the HTS400 with a Tool Scan Wizard and Tool File Wizard. At the HTS400, use the supplied Thermal Printer to print offset data labels for each measured tool. At the Haas machine, use the supplied Industrial Wireless Data Matrix Scanner to read the offset data from the printed labels into the control. The Tool Scan Wizard guides you through scanning the label, loading the tool into the spindle, and then executing a tool change to the next tool to load the data.

The HTS400 has post-processors for Classic and Next Generation (NGC) Haas Controls. These post processors format the tool offset data and save it to files that can be copied to a USB memory device at the HTS400, and that USB device can be delivered to the machine with the measured tools. For the Classic controls, this is the best option for loading the offset data. The same method also works for NGC controls.

Another option is to connect the HTS400 to your local network and transfer the offset data files directly to the machine control and then load the offsets. Loading these offset data files only appends the offset data of the offset numbers measured on the HTS400. Tool offset data for tools not measured remains unchanged.

Haas Next Generation Controls (NGC) with the latest software include support for the HTS400 with a Tool Scan Wizard and Tool File Wizard.

Press [ALTER] from the Tool Offsets page to launch the wizards. 

The Tool Scan Wizard allows you to scan tool measurement data for individual tools from printed labels, and either merge the data on the label with data already in that particular offset, or reset all data for that offset and then load the scanned data.

The Tool File Wizard also gives you the choice to merge data, or reset the data and then load all the offset data. The wizard then cycles through and gives the option to perform a tool change to each tool with imported data.
