While it’s virtually impossible to eliminate every bit of chatter in every turning situation, Haas has developed a feature called Spindle Speed Variation (SSV) that significantly reduces the effects of machining vibration. Here’s how it works: SSV automatically speeds up and slows down the spindle throughout the cutting process to keep the cut out of the chatter zone. You can use SSV with or without tailstock support.

Nests of stringy chips can damage your automatic tool changer or migrate onto an inspection probe, causing inaccurate measurements. Worse, when the stringy chips wrap around the cutting tool during an operation, it can keep the coolant from reaching the cutting zone, creating excess heat and tool wear.

Nexx, a Portuguese company that is passionate about making design-forward motorcycle helmets, once outsourced machining and die manufacturing, but grew concerned over lost time and lack of control. In this video, “The Nexx Generation”, the company explains how Haas CNC machines enabled them to bring these tasks in house to insure product quality and accelerate time-to-market.

Chatter, the vibration created when CNC machine tooling engages a work piece, is especially troublesome for milling operations. Even minimal chatter can shorten tool life and impact part quality. Too much chatter can even damage machine tools.

Installing, replacing or performing routine maintenance of a chuck may seem like a no-brainer but, as is often the case, carefully following a step-by-step procedure makes the job easier, safer and worry-free.

Do you wish you could program your Haas CNC machine to automatically perform certain tasks that you typically do manually? Or are their specific functions you’d like to build into a program that could save time or simply eliminate some annoyance? Now you can.

Haas CNC machines and the Haas Control have many ways to help your shop reduce production costs and avoid machining mishaps. In this video you’ll learn how to use the G98 and G99 canned cycles and clearance planes (R-planes) to avoid running into clamps, fixtures and other obstructions that can break or damage tools, tool holders and workpieces.

In a detailed, 27-minute video, Haas turning centerexperts explain and demonstrate a variety of tailstock tips including:

This new video explains how an optional Automatic Tool Presetter (ATP) makes tool offsets quicker, easier and more accurately on Haas CNC lathes. The ATP eliminates the need for loading material, taking manual measurements and entering data into the control. In fact, the ATP is typically 4 times faster than performing manual offsets.

In this video Haas demonstrates the new Wireless Intuitive Probing System (WIPS) for Haas CNC machine tools. Fully integrated within the Haas control, this system makes it easy for operators to perform quick setups and in-process inspection, and detect broken and worn tools.
