_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Haas understands that saving energy not only helps our planet, but also saves you money. For the past 10+ years, all Haas machines have come standard with FREE features designed to limit energy consumption in your shop! Compared to other manufacturers, Haas is the best energy-saving machine available. These 5 settings can be accessed easily through the Haas control, and can start saving you money at the flip of a switch!

5 STANDARD SETTINGS FOR 5% SAVINGS

For Example, Take an ST-30 on a 9-hour Day, Machining for 7 Hours

Spindle stopped 15% of the time = 1.05 hr X 400 Watts = 420 Wh

Spindle not cutting 10% of the time = 0.7 hr X 1200 Watts = 840 Wh

Spindle at peak 10% of the time = 0.7 hr X 28600 Watts = 20020 Wh

Spindle at 50% peak for 15% of the time = 1.05 hr X 15600 Watts =
16380 Wh

Spindle at 25% peak for 50% of the time = 3.5 hr X 7600 Watts =
26600 Wh

Spindle stopped/Machine stationary = 2.0 hr X 400 Watts = 800 Wh

Total Energy Consumption Per Day: 65.06 kWh

BUILT-IN ENERGY SAVING FEATURES

SETTING 216 - SERVO & HYDRAULICS SHUTOFF

SETTING 216

While we hope that your Haas machine is running with minimal spindle idle time within a day, that’s not always the case. There are times when machines are waiting for stock, to be set up, etc. Setting 216 specifies an idle time, in seconds, at which the machine will go into power-savings mode, shutting down all servomotors and hydraulic pumps, to draw less energy while the machine is sitting idle. When the machine is ready to be used, servomotors and hydraulic pumps will power back up and resume normal operation.

SETTING 114/115 - CONVEYOR CYCLE EFFICIENCY

SETTING 114/115

Chip augers and conveyors are important systems on your machine. Without efficient chip evacuation, it is hard for a machine shop to sustainably run at high production. All Haas machines offer settings 114 and 115, so that you can run your chip conveyor efficiently, with little energy consumption needed. Setting 114 allows you to specify how often your chip conveyor turns on. For example, if this setting is set to 30, your chip conveyor will turn on every half hour. Setting 115 lets you set the length of time the chip conveyor should run, before turning off.

M95 - SLEEP MODE

M-CODE - M95

Do you need to leave your machine on throughout the night? Minimize your energy consumption by putting your machine to sleep. Using M95, followed by a duration (hh:mm) ,puts your Haas machine to sleep for that specified amount of time. While the machine is asleep, your mill or lathe will limit the energy being consumed for the duration noted.

Note: Lines after using M95 should be axis moves along with spindle warm-up procedures.

SETTING 2 - POWER OFF AT M30

SETTING 2

Setting 2 allows your mill or lathe to power off after M30. It’s perfect for starting one last long cycle part before heading home for the day. When this setting is on, the operator receives a 15-second warning after the M30 code in the program, where any key can be pushed to cancel the power-off sequence. If no action is taken, the machine will power off automatically.

SETTING 199 - LCD BACKLIGHT OFF SETTING

SETTING 199

While this is a simple feature, it does contribute to the overall energy savings that all Haas machines offer. Setting 199 allows shops to set a timer, in minutes, that will turn off the LCD backlight when there has been no input at the control, unless there is an alarm present. The operator can press any key to restore the control to normal operation.
