    Dropping Leading Zeros from the Haas Controller

    Does anyone out here know how to prevent the Haas controller from adding leading zero's in the programs?
    My post processor does not post leading zeros but the Haas controller adds them when the program is downloaded from the computer to the controller.

    Is it possible to set the controller up to strip these out when the program is uploaded to the computer?

    Its the Haas VF3.
    No I have not checked the manual. I thought it would be faster by posting out here.

    As I remember (and I can't find any reference to this in the manual), there is no way to change that. You may want to configure your post to output leading zero's if you need the program in the control to match the program in the PC.

    The need I have is to compare this program back to the original which has no leading zero's.
    This makes compare impossible to do because the leading zero creates differences even though the coordinates have not changed.

    I am using the Mastercam editor to compare these programs.

    That makes sense, how many to you have to do?

    Change your post processor. See if your DNC software will allow you to strip characters.

    Haas Factory Support

    There are two solutions:

    1. Find and replace all:
    X0. with X.
    Y0. with Y.
    Z0. with Z.

    2. Import and Export:
    Import the program into the control
    Save the program back to the USB
    Make edits and compare with the exported version.
    Thanks,
    Ken Foulks
