Door Rules - Run / Setup Mode

RD0020

Run/Setup Mode Restrictions

All Haas CNC machines are equipped with locks on the operator doors and a key switch on the side of the control pendant to lock and unlock setup mode. Generally, setup mode status (locked or unlocked) affects how the machine operates when the doors are opened.

Setup mode should be locked out (the keyswitch in the vertical, locked position) at most times. In Run and in Setup mode, the enclosure doors are locked closed during CNC program execution, spindle rotation or axis movement. The doors automatically unlock when the machine is not in cycle. Many machine functions are unavailable with the door open.

When unlocked, setup mode allows a skilled machinist more access to the machine to set up jobs. In this mode, machine behavior is dependent on whether the doors are opened or closed. The following charts summarize the modes and allowed functions.

Note: All these conditions follow assuming that the door is open and stays open before, during and the actions occur.

Danger: Do not attempt to override safety features. Doing so makes the machine unsafe and voids the warranty.
