Tool Functions (Tnn)
The Tnn code is used to select the next tool to be placed in the spindle from the tool changer. The T address does
not start the tool change operation; it only selects which tool will be used next. M06 and will start a tool change
operation, for example T1M06 will put tool 1 in the spindle.
NOTE: There is no X or Y motion required prior to performing a tool change and, however, if your work piece or
fixture is large, you may need to position X or Y prior to a tool change in order to prevent a crash between the tools
and the part or fixture.
You may command a tool change with the X, Y, and Z axes in any position, and the control will bring the Z axis up
to the machine zero position prior to starting the tool change. The control will move the Z axis to a position above
machine zero during a tool change but will never move below machine zero. At the end of a tool change, the Z axis
will be at machine zero.
Tool Holders
There are number of different spindle options for the Haas mills. Each of these types requires a specific tool holder.
The most common spindles are the #40 and #50 taper. 40 taper spindles are divided into two types, BT and CT;
these are referred to as BT40 and CT40. The tool changer is only capable of holding one type. The decal on the
front of the machine will tell what type of tooling the machine is set up for.
The 50-taper spindle option use CT #50 taper tool holders; referred to as “CT 50.”
Pull Studs
A pull stud or retention knob is required to secure the tool holder into the spindle. Pull studs are threaded into the
top of the tool holder and are specific to the type of spindle. The following chart describes the pull studs used on
the Hass mill. Do not use the short shaft or pull studs with a sharp right angle (90-degree) head; they will not work
and will cause serious damage to the spindle.
