Parts Counter

[HelicopterJohn]

Hi,

I have a 2008 TM-1P toolroom mill and I have a quantity of items to make.

Is information stored in the HAAS Control that can tell me how many cycles of a particular part have been completed.

If so, how and where do you reset it so that it will keep track of how many completed parts I have made of a particular item.

Where can this information be accessed in the HAAS Control?

Any help would be appreciated.

All I'm aware of is the two M30 counters. From my memory, go to current commands, page up twice (or more?) and there they are. Highlight and origin to zero one or both.

Hi PBMW,

Thanks for the Tip. We Newbies can use all the help and suggestions you guys are willing to share.

Another thing I was trying to change is the current real time. Daylight savings etc.

They tell you to use the up and down arrow keys to get to either the date or time. Then they tell you to either use the jog dial or key in the correct time and hit the write key.

I tried it and got an alarm Press Emergency Stop. At first I didn't understand what they were trying to tell me. I pressed the Emergency Stop and then twisted the Emergency Stop Button and did a restart and the time didn't change.

What I found out is that prior to changing the time or date you hit the Emergency Stop button first which turns the servos off and then you can change the time or date per instructions on the screen and then the change will take place. Then twist the Emgergnecy Stop button and do a reset and you have it done. The book and the onboard help screen don't tell you that you have to press the Emergency Stop button prior to setting the time or date.

Oh well, such is the life of a newbie.
