This procedure will show you how to install the Desktop Mill.

When unpacking bend the tab [1] so it is no longer bent back on itself and the crate can be disassembled as shown. 

NOTE: The tabs can be sharp so a screwdriver and plier are recommended for the unpacking.

Once the crate has been disassembled place the desktop mill on the desired surface by having two people lift up each end by using the handles.

Open the door and remove the M5 bolts [1] on the shipping bracket.

Loosen the M6 bolts [2] from the base of the bracket. There are nuts inside the slots, once the bolts are loosened slide the bracket out.  

Open the door and attach the door handle by screwing the #8 bolts into the handle as shown.

Once the desktop mill is completely assembled plug in the VGA cable to the port shown [1]  and connect both cables [2] and [3] to power. 

Test Door

Press [MDI]. Type in S500 M3; Press [ENTER].

• With the door closed, press [CYCLE START] the spindle should be running, open the door and the spindle should stop.

NOTE: Opening the door while the spindle is running will trigger an error quickly stopping the spindle and axis, if this error does not occur or the spindle does not run when commanded contact Haas for support.

Spindle Warm Up

Warm up the spindle by running the 2020 warm up program.

NOTE: Make sure the ER11 collet nut is tight on the spindle with the provided wrenches before turning the spindle on.

This procedure will show you how to install the pen option on a Desktop Mill.

Install pen option by tighening the ER nut into the spindle and then tightening the 1/4-20 nut with a wrench. 

NOTE:  When removing the pen option loosen the ER collet first before the 1/4-20 nut to avoid having the holder get stuck in the spindle and keep the assembly together while removing.

Place four 1" X 1" squares of double sided tape onto the back of the provided clipboard.

Once ready for use remove the film of the double sided tape for placement on the table.

Align the clipboard to the table as best as you can and apply pressure to stick the clipboard to the table.

NOTE: When getting ready to load the program it is important to note the spindle will not rotate, the axis should be the only thing moving.
