MRZP A-C OR B-C AXIS ROUGH SET - NGC

9.4 MRZP A-C or B-C AXIS ROUGH SET

Introduction

This tells you how to set Machine Rotary Zero Point (MRZP) Rough Offsets. The MRZP Offsets are settings in the Haas CNC control that tell the control these distances:

  1. the distance of the tilt axis (B axis) centerline from the X-Axis home position
  2. the distance of the tilt axis (B axis) centerline from the Z-Axis home position
  3. the distance of the table rotary axis (C axis) centerline from the Y-Axis home position

Important: The spindle probe must be calibrated before doing this procedure. This makes sure the accuracy of the probe to the machine position is correct. Refer to the NEXT GENERATION CONTROL - PROBE CALIBRATION (VPS)

MRZP A-C or B-C Axis Rough Set

1

After calibrating the probe zero return all axes by pressing [ZERO RETURN], then [ALL], and then [A].

Check to see if VPS Editing is enabled by pressing [DIAGNOSTIC] and navigate to Parameters, then to Features. If it is not enabled contact your local HFO.

2

To calibrate MRZP press [EDIT] and navigate to VPS, then Probing, then Calibration, and then to MRZP Calibration. 

Select A-C or B-C Axis Rough Set

3

Dimension the Center Bore and set C equal to the Center Bore diameter.

Note: The Center Bore diameter may vary depending if the machine has a standard platter or Pallet Pool option.

Set H equal to the distance from the table to the rotary center point

  • All Non Pallet Pool UMC's = 2.0"
  • UMC-1000 Pallet Pool = 0.0"

4

Set D Approximate Angle for Z Probe Touch equal to 0.0

Set E Distance for Probe to Travel Past Bore Diameter equal to 0.25

 

5

Jog Probe to .1" above center of Platter Bore.

Press [CYCLE START] to begin probing cycle.

6

After the program is completed press [Current Commands] and navigate to Macro Variables.

Record the values for macro variables 10121, 10122, and 10123.

Press [Setting] and navigate to Machine Setup.

  • Go to setting 255 MRZP X Offset and enter the value for macro variable 10121.
  • Go to setting 256 MRZP Y Offset and enter the value for macro variable 10122.
  • Go to setting 257 MRZP Z Offset and enter the value for macro variable 10123.
