issues with 1997 HAAS Vf0

[dangernoodleeng]

Hi Folks,

Hope I'm in the right place for this.

I recently purchased a used 1997 HAAS Vf0, with A axis provisioned but disabled -  using Fusion 360 Cam. after a fair bit of mashing buttons, I've managed to load a file via RS232 ( thousand moneys and typewriters scenario).

First using the generic pre next gen post, was receiving the same error as the chap in the linked post:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-post-processor-forum/haas-mill-post-issues/td-p/7359177 

Tried changing WCS in setup to 1 resulted in the same error.

Downloaded the VF0 post linked, reloaded the file , upon cycle start the spindle will start but alarm is tripped (336 A AXIS DISABLED)

Is there a post like the one linked, but doesn't have A axis enabled? or is there a way to edit the post to remove it? or would just editing the output file, removing all G0 A0 commands ?

uploading 3 sample programs for example, 1001 is using haas A axis post, 1002 is using Haas pre ngc post and 1003 is using the Haas vf0 post

If there's any other info you need, let me know. 

Cheers

Hi @dangernoodleeng ,

The post linked below should not have any A-axis.

https://cam.autodesk.com/hsmposts?p=haas

Alternatively, if you add...

aOutput.disable();

to the end of onOpen...

...or change...

  if (true) {

    var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:true, axis:[(properties.makeAAxisOtherWay ? -1 : 1) * -1, 0, 0], cyclic:true, preference:0});

    machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(aAxis);

    setMachineConfiguration(machineConfiguration);

    optimizeMachineAngles2(1); // map tip mode

  }

... to...

  if (false) {

    var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:true, axis:[(properties.makeAAxisOtherWay ? -1 : 1) * -1, 0, 0], cyclic:true, preference:0});

    machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(aAxis);

    setMachineConfiguration(machineConfiguration);

    optimizeMachineAngles2(1); // map tip mode

  }

That will also probably do the trick in the other posts that you have.

Let me know if that works.

Thanks,

Will Watkins
