Haas TM-1p Startup Shutdown and Overview

all right in this video we're going to start a procedure for this machine we're also going to talk about the menu buttons and how to show it down so this is the Haas TM 1p and the start procedure is similar for any of the TM series machines so first thing you want to do is make sure you get the power on the back of the machine turned on you also want to make sure you have 100 psi of compressed air supplied in the sheen and that's to be a constant flow so after you've got that taken care of you can go ahead and power the machine on and that's this big green button here when you press that button the machine is going to go through its startup procedures it's going to boot up somewhere to a computer it takes a few seconds there you can see the software you might have different software and when you get up to the startup screen might look a little different maybe different colors different setup so here we are we get the blue on white setup here and it's this version of software so when you get to this screen before you can do anything with the machine the first thing you want to do is start it up and clear out the alarms to make sure the safety interlocks work so to do that do just what it says in the splashing box here so I'm going to press the e stop I'm going to release the emergency stop going to open the door close the door now I can press reset to clear out the alarm for the emergency stop again to clear out the alarm for the door and you could hear it kind of click on so we're ready to go now it's telling you power up and zero all the axes so to do that right next to the reset button is the power of restart just hit that one time so what this is doing is it's taking all the axes to the home position and it's going to zero out the machine so all your coordinates are good to go and you're ready to run stuff so if you look here at the machine position these will all end up being zero so that's your mrz zero zero zero the machine will also change by default to the total number one when it beats it's done so you can see we're at zero zero zero that's Mr Z and we're at 201 so we're good to go at this point you can start running programs setting up work offsets all that good stuff but before you do that before you turn the machine the spindle on make any movements the first thing you want to do is run the spindle warm-up program so to do that go to the very bottom here to list program hit enter to enter the memory mode or the memory tab then you want to scroll up to spindle warm-up for the TM 1p only that's a custom program written specifically for this machine this spindle maxes out at 6,000 rpm so I'm going to go ahead and press select program that's right next to the list program button outputs a little a next to it so now that that's the active program you can go to memory mode and press cycle start so what this does is it cycles the spindle slowly to 6000 rpm and the reason it does that is because while this machine sits the lubrication the bearings drips out of it and we want to get that lubrication back in the bearings so we got to cycle up slowly so we don't cause a damage so this program takes about 20-25 minutes to run so make sure you run that each and every day before you run this machine if the machine is not going to run at all within four days a warning message will come up when you try to run a program and it'll say hey you need to run this program so just make sure you do that first so I've already run this today so I'm just going to hit reset to get out of this program and it beeps so that means I'm good and before we do anything let's talk about how to navigate this and what what these buttons do so when you're navigating this screen here I just want you to notice that this is the white screen here the white pane and the rest of these are blue so the white one is the one that's active and all the other ones are inactive but you can still see them because they're useful to see so to navigate this you'll be using the eight display keys here and these six mode keys so we'll go through each one of those kind of talk about what they mean so let's start out off with the mode keys and we'll work our way down so if you press edit that brings you to the edit mode so if I wanted to edit my program here which is the spindle warm-up I can scroll through with the cursor keys or I can use the pulse generator to navigate that code these four buttons here allow you to do things like insert code alter the code delete it and you can press that undo button if you mess something up I think you have about ten undos before it runs out of memory so you got your active program your inactive program you can scroll between those by pressing the edit key again and you can see the white plane is the active one so that's the edit mode this is also we're going to graph things from so would be your graphics mode which is that display key there next one down is the memory mode and we already use that today we ran our spindle warm-up program from that so things like single block dry run optional stop delete block those are all active in the memory mode and those can be useful when running programs so if I were to press cycle start right now it's going to run that program so I'm gonna hit reset the next one down is the MDI DNC mode you'll be using this button a lot because this allows you to access the probing commands conversational mode so and this is also where you can enter in g code directly so if I want to do a zero one for example I don't know some X&Y and a feed whatever I would just hit enter and you see it's an input key input line down here if I hit enter it's going to put it in to the MDI program here so you can do that with any string any kind of block so use the alphanumeric keys to do that and these are active in the MDI mode so you can change tools and everything from this mode so the next one down is the hand jog mode and this is really useful because right now our tables all the way far in the x-direction so it's gonna be hard to load parts load in parts grab things from the machine probe things out so the hand jog modes where you going to actually use the axes and move them around so to do that from hand jog mode you can select your draw great from these four keys so to the far right here we have the quickest draw great which is a tenth of an inch per click so you can see that X at or what z axis moving pretty quickly there and to the far left we have ten thousandths per click so you can see I'm moving this a lot and you can barely see it moving so I'm just each click as a ten thousandth there you can see that so it's hard to see with the naked eye so you can use a pulse generator to do that or you can use these jog keys down here so those are only active in the jog mode so let's jog this x-axis to a usable position so the tool is going negative X right now just keep that in mind we're always looking at what the tool is doing now I can move my Z down and you can see how quick that is so I always recommend using a slower draw great when you're moving the Z so you don't crash into anything then I can use the Y alright you can also hold press and hold each of these keys to move in the direction you want so let's say I want to go positive Z I can just hold and press the positive z here it's moving at the specified jog rate which is 10 inches per minute you can see that right there so if I want to increase that jog grade I can use the overrides down here I can increase that feed rate now when I do it it's a little quicker so the jog lock key is also useful and we'll cover that in a second so if you want to actually cut some material now you can do that from the hand jog mode or you can go back to MDI press program conversational to get into the manual mode and you can also see there's all your other conversational modes you can press enter and now you can go ahead and draw a gust machine or run it just like a manual mill just like a bridge port or anything like that so to do that you're going to use these override keys combined with the jog keys so let's say I want to turn this spindle on at 3000 rpm and I want to just face that part off so we can do that really easily just type in 3000 and you can see that shows up down here and input line and when I gotta have doors closed to do this and when I press like a clockwise that spindle is now spinning clockwise at 3000 rpm you can see that there if I want to bump that up incrementally by percentage I can do the overrides here again and I can bump it up by 10 or negative 10 percent there's 10 percent more and you can always bring it back to 100 so there we go someone's going to drop that jog right down lose my job keys and right where I want to be so now I can use the jog lock key to jog the same cross or I could use a pulse generator so here is I can just draw Gliss just like a manual machine making some chips here who's the wide so you can see it's highlighted there now I'm back to the X now if I don't want to actually spin this handle I can press and hold positive X here or I can press the job lock button press X positive and it'll draw that way for me so I don't have to sit here and click this thing around that could be very useful all right that looks good that's all I want to do if I want to reset everything stop the spin will stop the access movement I can press reset and that stops everything so right now my tools in the part and it's kind of a dangerous place to be so that brings us to our next key down here and that's our 0 return mode so from here we can easily send that access to the home position we can send each access at one time by giving it X Y or Z or we can sit them all at one time by hitting the home so in this case I just want to send the Z home and it's easy to kind of draw us in the wrong direction if you're not thinking so I always just do Z zero return and home and it sends that access home so when it beeps it's done that's very useful now if I want to send the rest the axes home you can do it individually so I can do X 0 home or I can just cuz I'm in the zero mode I can just hit home and everything Rapids to the home position so you can see we're at 0 0 0 so let me just point out that our Mr Z is right about here right right in this area so if you want to pay attention to the table or the tool just note that any of your work offsets are gonna be negative so I'm gonna close these back up so our last key down here we already use that as our list program and this is where you're going to grab your programs off USB off the network off the actual memory on the machine wherever you want to get it from and that will be covered in a later video let's talk about these display keys a little bit here so we're talked about program conversational so if you're an MDI mode program conversational that brings you over to here press cancel we'll get all that tab you can use the cursor just scroll through these tabs here and do what you need to do so if you want to use the probe for example that'd be in the setup tab and then you can choose what you want to do so the next one over is the position key and that will change this pane right here so any mode you're in doesn't really matter if I'm in memory mode I can hit that position key it's going to show me my current position that's my mrz my machine position there's distance to go which doesn't apply because we're not going anywhere there's our operator position and our work offsets so that's g54 I'm not sure where that actually is but you can see that's our current position from our work offset we'll talk about that later video the next one over is the offset key so I'll show your work offsets you'll show your tool height offsets so if I hit that that brings me to here and you even up from different modes so if I was an MDI for example it hit the offset and you bring up a very similar menu so right here's my tool offset so you can see tool 1 my height geometry my di my diameter geometry cool and position all that good stuff if I hit it again it brings going to work offsets so you can see your XYZ work offsets and its relative to your Z so notice that these are all negative because they're from that tool position over and down so if I want to change one of these for example let's say G 54 I don't want to be negative 17 I want to be negative 16 so what I could do is that would be making this value less negative so I'd actually just be adding one so I could enter one point and you can see that shows up here in the input line and if I want that to change that value you notice that X is selected right now so I'm going to hit X I'm just going to enter it's going to ask me if I want to do that I'm going to say yes so you can see that that change so all these menus are additive so let's go back up to the coolant position here so let's say a coolant position number five it says 14 right now I'm currently at eleven maybe I want to make that 10 for example I would type in negative four and then I hit enter and that just changed that to 10 right there so whatever you put in that input line it stays there until you actually use it so if I type in five and I change modes or whatever it's going to stay there until I use it so that's something to watch out for so the next one over current commands this is where you're going to see things like cycle time power on time how many times you've run a program such as kind of useful information so the next one down here alarm messages that's going to show your active alarms so right now we have no alarms but if I hit the II stop now we have an alarm there so it's going to show you which alarms are active so I can release that you stop and press reset to clear out those alarms the next one over parameters and this kind of where you change settings and stuff Suit students really won't be messing with that button too much next one over is your graphing mode so if you hit that if you're an edit and you hit the graph this is we're actually able to graph programs and simulate them before actually cutting any material and the very last one down here is the help or calculations button so if you're confused about something you forgot how something works you can hit that Help button and that'll bring up this help menu and if you hit enter here it's got a lot of things like safety introduction subroutines pretty much all the stuff we're going over you can search for things there's useful things like a drill table there's calculator so that's stuff right there in that key so as you can see these six buttons here and these four these eight are the really ones you're going to be using a lot the cursor is going to help you navigate this thing so just kind of get used to how this works and just remember that the white pane is the active one all the other ones are inactive currently so now as you kind of know how to organist inge I just want to show you one extra thing and that's on the side here so you'll notice I can turn on and off this light that's because we have an accessory light button down here so I'll just swing that out there's our light button you might have some extra things down in here right here's where you're going to put a USB in right in there and if you want to run this anytime you run anything on the scene you're going to have to have the doors closed they're actually going to be locked so if you want to run something with the Machine open you can get this key here and you can put it in the setup mode so you'll hear it beep so I'll show what that looks like here so as you can see here I'm just going to memory mode when it's in the setup mode you can see that that box shows you that the max spindle speed is the door-open is 750 rpm and the max rapid is 25% and the reason it gives you this option is if you're using something like an edge finder you really want to get in there and see what's happening help you set up the material you can actually run the spindle with the doors open so any other time you're not going to be allowed to do that so I'm just going to turn that off take the key out alright so now we've learned some things about the machine you've done whatever you need to do you ran your parts or whatever you set up your stuff you're ready to go ahead and shut the Machine down so there's a few things you want to do when you shut the Machine down and it's just good practice to do this get it ready for the next person so keep in mind that all this stuff on here is going to be saved so anything you edit anything you changed will be saved for the next time you turn on the machine so we're ready to turn this thing off we could just go ahead and hit the power off button but there's a few things you want to do first so first thing you want to do is bring that table back to the middle and the reason you do that is just takes the weight off the bearings so we can do that hand jog mode just kind of bring that table back to the middle all right that looks good you also want to take out any work that you left in the vise make sure it's ready for the next person to use it's always a good idea to clean off your table so you use the air gun just clean the chips out of the machine now the next thing you want to do is take the current tool out of the spindle so whatever the tool that is so I'm just gonna take that out so and if you're going to store this machine for any long period of time like a week or so you're going to want to oil up everything so grab a little bit of oil maybe squirt it on the vise you know just kind of get some oil on there so we don't get any rust issues you can also all up the spindle in here that's also a good idea too so now we've done all that close up the doors press the e stop button and the power off and you're good to go so let's do it east up how we're off and now I can go ahead and lock up the machine do my lockout tagout so whatever I need to do and it's ready for the next person to use so that's about it for the TM 1p it's pretty easy machine to use in the next few videos we'll be covering how does it specifically set up work offsets our parts our tools and run an actual program you
