When adding a rotary table to the Haas mill change settings 30 and 34 to
the specific rotary table and part diameter currently used. Warning: Failure to
match the correct brush or brushless rotary setting to the actual product being
installed on the mill may cause motor damage. “B” in the settings denotes a
brushless rotary product. Brushless indexers have two cables from table and
two connectors at the mill control.
Parameters
In rare cases some parameters may need to be modified to get a specific
performance out of the indexer. Do not do this without a list of parameters
to change. (If a list of parameters was not included with the indexer, then no
change is necessary. DO NOT CHANGE THE PARAMETERS. Doing so will
void your warranty.)
To change parameters for a fourth or fifth axis indexer: Press the E-stop button.
Turn off the parameter lock (Setting 7). Go to the settings page by pressing the
Setting button. Enter “7” and press the down arrow; this will jump to setting 7.
With the cursor on Setting 7, use the right or left arrow button to select “Off”
and press the Write button, to turn off the parameter lock. Go to the parameter
page and enter the number of the parameter to change and press the down
arrow button. Enter the new value for the new parameter and press the Write
button; change the other parameters similarly. Return to the Setting 7 and turn
this setting back on. Reset the E-stop button. Home the indexer and verify that
it operates properly by pressing Handle Jog and the “A” button. Jog the A axis
using the jog handle, the indexer should move. Check for proper ratio by mark-
ing the table, rotate 360 degrees as viewed in the position page and check
mark to be in the same location. If it is close (within 10 degrees) then the ratio
is correct.
Initial Start-up
Turn on the mill (and servo control, if applicable) and home the indexer. All
Haas indexers home in the clockwise direction as viewed from the front. If the
indexer homes counter-clockwise, press E-stop and call your dealer.

This procedure determines the distance between the plane of the B-axis platter
and the A-axis centerline on tilting rotary products. The offset is required by
some CAM software applications.
