[QUOTE="DMC, post: 78261, member: 430"] I have to wait for Haas eng. to arrive on Mon or Tue to power it up, due to warrenty stuff.... I also need to wait a while and think as to where to place the Tool-Probe, and trunion assembly in the chamber. I may have no options due to tight space? Then, we carefully begin to write the various homing sequences and tool change positions and the commands for Z tool-offset movements after tool changes when the tool drops down to Reinshaw tool sensor gizmo. I have a lot of software programming once the Italian arrives. We have a fleet of tools to program into CAM, the actual mill parts to draw in CAD for the CAM to use for collision detection. I then figure out all my limits of angles for tool and make notes to go back and make as hard limits in CAM for the Haas OM2-a specific post processor and strategys... Calibrate the rotarys... Then, we test more on a foam mock-up for steel fixture assembly and see what happens.....then we try the actual fixture for the first time maybe with Wax.....then one day Metal. Double check the calibrations. Probably take minimum of One month. This is the fun part I have been waiting for! I love the challenge and the unknown! [/QUOTE]
