Faster TM1?

[drewmeister]

is there any way to make a tm1 go any faster. i mean the rapid is soooo slow.

It can be done. I have been running my rapids at 400 ipm for months now. The motors do not even get very warm after a full day. I changed the max rapid speed in the parameters and then I needed to change another number for the x y and z parameters by an equal proportion. I dont remember exactly which one it was but it was a very large number to start with. I decided to look into this further when the tm-1p came out with the 400 ipm. A haas tech told me that the servos and screws were the same as on the tm-1 so I looked up the servo p/n on yaskawa electric's website. They had the specs for the motors on the tm-1 on their site. From what I gathered, haas had the motors set to run at the typical run speed for these motors but the max speed they are rated for is double the speed on the TM-1. I think that it was 1500 RPM on the stock setting and 3000 RPM for the Max. There are more posts thru the haas forum with information on this.

I run my TM-1 (2005) for about 1 year with 10.2m/min and 6k RPM spindle , about 8-16hours per day at maximum spindle speed.
