Need Help!- Mcodes for Pallet Recognition

[InfamousDunkie]

I am new into my position here as Engineering Manager and I haven't used haas Horizontals in a while. But we have an EC400 and an HS1 HMCs and I think there are M-codes for pallet recognition to insure the right pallet is in the machine.

Can anyone outthere let me know what they are so I can see if they work on my machines?

thanks

m48 is what your looking for,it validates your program with the pallet.

What does the M48 do to verify?

In other machines the M-code checks for pallet 1 and if incorrect alarms or sits until corrected.

This how I check for pallets on our Haas Mll the Q22 is a discret output M96 checks the vaule of Q the P is a block number in my program #3000=901 puts the alarm wrong pallet on the screen to alert operator the N1101 line is to check for pallet 1 the N2101 line is to check for pallet 2



N1101 M96 Q22 P9001 (WRONG PALLET ALARM)

(PALLET #1 ALARM STATEMENT)
N9001 #3000= 901 (WRONG PALLET)



N2101 M96 Q23 P9002 (WRONG PALLET ALARM)

(PALLET #2 ALARM STATEMENT)
N9002 #3000= 902 (WRONG PALLET)

I tried the M48 with the following program:

G0G91Z0;
M50;
M3S1000;
M5;
M48;
M3S1000;
M5;
M30;
I turned the spindle on and off just to show motion before and after the M48. For each pallet the alarm came up the same.
"APC-ILLEGAL NESTING G188 OR M48"

Did you put your program number in the Pallet Schedule Table ? If not I think thats why you got "APC-ILLEGAL NESTING G188 OR M48".
I have to admit I have only played around with that once,but it did work that way.All the parts we've been running since we got the new machine ive been writing just one program for both pallets,they run for hours so it works fine.
