X,Y,Z warm up. I am not a programmer...

[hrhoward]

Hello,
I recently got a Haas VF-0E up and going. It had been in a government storage facility for several years (mfg in 1998, less than 2500 hours in operation).

I can repair CNC machines but do not consider myself a machinist by any means. I found on here the programs for warming up and running in the spindle. What I would like is a program to do the same for the axis' (X,Y, and Z). Perhaps something like a figure eight with progressive speed increases.

I have done a couple of quick searches for it but couldn't find anything except a mention of it.

Does anyone have such a program they could send me so I can download it to a floppy and upload it?

Thanks!!!

I can write one if nobody else has anythign similar already jotted down. The only thing I don't know would be how long the machine should cycle around before calling it good, but I can estimate.

What's the exact work envelope size on the VF0's? Also, what year is your machine? (the year influences the available feedrates) EDIT; oh nevermind about the machine year
