Zeroing a HRT210 Table

[gmh265]

Hello everybody,

I am not a machinist but trying to solve a problem that our machinist is having.

We have a HRT210 Rotary table installed on our Haas VF3 mill, it is the model that has the six 'T' slots milled into its mounting face. The problem that we are having is that when the table is at 0 deg in the code, the t-slots are no by about 1.5 deg. Our jigs rely on the table being zeroed properly.

Is there any way on the machine to zero the 4th axis or to set a work co-ordinate for it?

thanks for any help!

If the rotary is hooked up directly to the machine. Rotate rotary until it's where you like it. Look at the value in the A position display and enter it into the A column under the work offset your using.

Use a dial test indicator on the side of one of the T-slots to align it vertically or horizontally and then enter the A value in the work offset as Edster suggests.

Soo simple that we overlooked it, as well as our machine supplier did!

thank you for your help, problem solved
