Copying a Drill Program

05/25/2012 12:26 PM

I'm new to programing a Haas TL-2 Mill. I have to drill 11 holes, two inch apart. Now customer wants to change. I know there is a way to copy first program for the second hole and modify the location for the hole that is offset. Can anyone tell me how to copy the first drill cycle?

I do not recall the g/m codes, any ways each machine can have a difference call out for the canned cycle.

But there is also a macro that I have written years ago also. where you use relative moves from the previous position and cycle thru.

I do not have an example program and being so long ago i didn't retain it to memory so I can't help you today, but you'll have to list more information about the Haas for us to understand maybe someone else can assist you.

Head call out, G, M and T code definitions

Haas has an Intuitive program on the newer machine. I had someone working with me that show me after he wrote a simple drill program for first hole he press a shift key and another an it copied the first and he modified the second program for the second hole.

The Haas control allows you to copy a program, naming it somethng else. You can then modify it to fit your needs. It is all in the documentation or available on the Haas website.

Copying a drill program is easy, rewriting one is even easier.

Sample:

T1M06

G00 G90 G54 X(LOCATION) Y(LOCATION) S2000 M03

G43 H01 Z0.1

G81 (DRILL) OR G83 (PECK) G99 Z-1.0 (DEPTH) R0.1(CLEARANCE PLANE) F15.0

X2.0 (2ND HOLE LOCATION) ADD A "Y" IF NEEDED

X4.0 (3RD HOLE LOCATION) ADD "Y" IF NEEDED

X6.0 (4TH HOLE LOCATION) ADD "Y" IF NEEDED

X8.0 (5TH HOLE LOCATION) ADD "Y" IF NEEDED

(CONTINUE ADDING ALL LOCATIONS "X & Y")

G80 G00 Z1.0

G28

M30
