Do this procedure after you install a rotary unit. This procedure tells you how to tell the control what rotary unit you installed. Do this procedure on a machine that has the Next Generation Control. This rotary selection tool replaces Setting 30 and 78 used on CHC controls. See enable Rotary axis - CHC for instructions. 

Push [POWER ON].

Push [SETTING].

Select the Rotary tab [1].

Highlight the 4th Axis rotary unit that is installed [1].

Push [ENTER] to Set Axis [2].

 Note: This screen shows the TR310-P4-TLT rotary.

Note:  If your rotary product does not show up in the list, the control may need to have the rotary configuration updated.  Only Haas techisions can update config files. Contact your HFO to scheadual the update and refer to the Update Rotary Configuration Files procedure.

NOTE: CONFIG FILE NAME INFORMATION

Single axis rotarys require one config file while dual axis require two files. 

All config file names are broken up into several parts separated by dashes. 

The first part is the model number of the rotary unit [1]. This can be found on the serial plate of the unit. Some Rotary units have a dash in there name, that dash may or may not be in the included in the file name. 

The next part of the file name is the P version number of the unit [2]. This can also be found on the serial plate of the unit.  

The next part of the files only appears on dual axis Rotaries. The next part is either "TLT" or "ROT" [3]. TLT applies to the 4th axis and ROT applies to the 5th axis. Single axis rotaries will not have this part.

The last part of the name is an R at the end. Using this config file would make the Rotary turn in the opiste direction.

The Select Table Orientation [1] screen shows.

Push [A], [B], or [C] to select the Axis Configuration [2]. By defualt the 4th axis is set to A. 

Push [F4] to change the physical connection [3].

For this example the Axis Configuration is Axis A [2] and the Physical Connection is the 4th axis [3].

 Note: To use the Tool Center Point Control (TCPC, G234) or Dynamic Work Offset (DWO, G254), make sure the position of the rotary unit is the same as the illustration on the display.

Push [ENTER] [4].

This example sets the TR310-P4-TLT to the A Axis [1].

 Note: The rotary changes do not go into effect until you push [F3] (Apply Rotary) [4]. Go to Step 6 if you are ready to push [F3] (Apply Rotary).

Select the 5th Axis rotary unit that is installed [2].

Push [ENTER] to Set Axis [3].

 Note: This screen shows the TR310-P4-ROT rotary.

The Select Table Orientation [1] screen shows.

Push [A], [B], or [C] to select the Axis Configuration [2]. By defualt the 5th axis is set to C. 

Push [F4] to change the physical connection [3].

For this example the Axis Configuration is Axis C [2] and the Physical Connection is the5th axis [3].

 Note: To use the TCPC or DWO, make sure the position of the rotary unit is the same as the illustration on the display.

Push [ENTER] [4].

This example sets the TR310-P4-TLT to the A Axis and sets the TR310-P4-ROT to the C Axis[1].
