HAB - Control Panel Software Installation

1

Extract the folder named HAB - Control Panel Software. Inside, you'll find another folder called tpcbackup.

Drag and drop the folder titled tpcbackup onto the USB 2.0 Flash Drive. 

Connect the USB 2.0 flash drive containing the folder named tpcbackup to the USB port located on the back of the control panel.

 

 

2

Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed with the download.

Before downloading the new software, make sure the correct files are selected [1].

Select Download [2].

When the download has completed the machine will automatically reboot. 

Note: When the machine reboots, it may start up in a different language. Refer to the HAB Troubleshooting Guide for instructions on how to change the language correctly.

HAB - Controller Software Installation

1

Locate the interface drive found near the bottom of the control cabinet. 

The port for the USB 2.0 flash drive can be found at the top of the drive [1].

 

2

With the USB plugged into the drive, press and hold the Upgrade Button found on the top [1]. 

Hold the button until both lights glow green, then release. 

Note: When the upgrade is completed, the two lights will resume flashing alternately. 

Note: To confirm the update was successful, go back to the Advanced Functions, navigate to Machine Information, and check the intelligent version. The intelligent version should be updated for the procedure to be considered successful.

HAB - Controller Software Initialization

1

After the interface drive has been updated, the new parameters must be initialized on the control panel.

Select Advanced Functions 

Navigate to Type Parameter and enter the password 123.

Once inside the Type Parameters page press and hold the blank space [1] for 5 seconds until a hidden interface page will appear. 

2

After navigating to the hidden interface page:

Select Process Parameters [1]. 

Select and hold Parameter Initialization [2].

5.3 HAB - AI Calibration

HAAS Automatic Band Saw - AI Calibration

Revision A - 4/2025

The following chapter offers a guide to Calibrating the AI Sawmaster feature on the HAB3232.

AI Mode Calibration

1

Power on the band saw and enter the bandsaw into manual mode. 

Select Advance Functions found at the bottom of the display page. 

2

Navigate to Type Parameter and enter the password 123.

Once inside the parameters page press and hold the blank space [1] for 5 seconds until the hidden interface will appear. 

3

Before proceeding, it is important to verify which transmission module is found in the band saw.

Locate the side cabinet found directly behind the electrical cabinet.

Important: 

[1] Will be established for the 1st generation 

[2] Will be established for the 2nd generation.  

 

 

4

Navigate to the valve calibration tab found [1].

 

 

5

In this menu select which generation transmission module that is found in the bandsaw [1].

To test the calibration of the saw enter a value of 70mm/min as a starting reference point [2].

Once the value of 70 has been set. Select and hold the Valve Calibration button and hold for 3 seconds [3].

Note: You should see the initial speeds change and they should have all re calculated. 

6

Return to the manual interface.

Use the hand wheel [1] and establish the cutting speed on the control  to 2.76 inch/min [2]. 

 

 

7

Raise the saw frame to its highest point, and using a depth gauge measure the distance between the top of the cylinder to the oil seal ring [1].

Record this height, as it should be the same each time the saw is raised to its maximum position.

 

8

Lift the quick drop lever up [2] and secure it to ensure that the sensor does not detect it. 

Note: When sensor is triggered, the sensor's light will glow red [1].

9

Cycle start the machine and set a timer for 1 minute.

When the timer has reached 1 minute, stop cutting, measure the height from the top of the main cylinder [1] to the black seal retaining rings. 

Important: Find the difference between the new height and the initial height from step 7. This value should be as close to ±0.1 2.76 inches. 

10

Important: Only proceed with steps 10 and 11 if, after one minute, your measured height is not within ±0.1 of 2.76 inches.

If the new measured height is greater or less than ±0.1 of 2.76 inches, multiply that new value by 25.4 and enter the result into the Feed Rate Calibration [1] as outlined in step 5.

Once that new value has been set. Select and hold the Valve Calibration button and hold for 3 seconds [2].

Repeat steps 5-9 until the measured height after 1 minute is ±0.1 2.76 inches.

 

11

Important: When performing a retest, ensure that the feed rate [1] remains consistent at 2.76 inches on the control.
