4&5 Axis Programming
96-8000 rev R June 2007
Jogging the 4th and 5th Axis
All aspects of handle jogging for the fifth axis work as they do for the other axes. The exception is the method of
selecting jog between axis A and axis B.
By default the ‘+A’ and ‘-A’ keys, when pressed, will select the A axis for jogging. The B axis can be selected for
jogging by pressing the Shift button, and then pressing either the ‘+A’ or ‘-A’ key.
EC-300:Jog mode shows A1 and A2, use “A” to jog A1 adn Shift “A” to jog A2.
EC-300 Pallet and 4th axis Operation
The rotary table in the machining area will always appear, and operate, as the A axis. The rotary axis on pallet 1 is
referred to by “A1” and the other axis, on pallet 2, by “A2”.
Operation examples:
To jog axis A1, enter “A1” and press “HAND JOG”.
To key jog, use the +/-A jog buttons to jog the A1 axis and +/-B buttons to jog the A2 axis.
To zero return the A axis on pallet #2, enter "A2" press ZERO SINGL AXIS.
Mirroring Feature: If G101 is used to mirror the A axis, then mirroring is turned on for both A axes. When pallet #1
is in the machining area, A1-MIR will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. When pallet #2 is in the machine,
A2-MIR will be displayed. The behavior of the Mirror Settings is different, if Setting 48 Mirror Image A-Axis is ON,
only the A axis on pallet #1 is mirrored and the message A1-MIR is displayed.
If setting 80 (parameter 315, bit 20 MAP 4TH AXIS is a 1, the name for setting 80 is the same as that for Setting
48, i.e. Mirror Image A-Axis) is ON mirroring will be turned on for the A-axis on pallet #2. When pallet #2 is inside of
the mill, A2-MIR will be displayed.
Crash Recovery Procedure
If the machine crashes while cutting a five-axis part, it can often be difficult to clear the tool away from the part due
to the angles involved. Do Not immediately press the Recover button or turn the power off. To recover from a crash
in which the spindle is stopped while the tool is still in a cut, retract the spindle using the Vector Jog feature. To do
this press the letter “V” on the keypad, press “Handle Jog”, and use the jog handle to move along that axis. This
feature will allow motion along any axes determined by A and/or B axis.
The Vector Jog feature is intended to allow the operator to clear the cutting tool from the part in an extreme situa-
tion as a result of a crash or an alarm condition.
G28 is not available in the vector jog mode; it is only available for the X, Y, Z A and B when selecting single axis.
If there was a loss of power during a cut vector jog will not work as the control requires a reference position. Other
means of clearing the tool from the part will be necessary.
If the tool is not in a cut when it is crashed, press the Recover button and answer the questions that appear on the
screen. When the Recover button is pressed, the spindle head will move the A, B and Z-axes simultaneously, in
order to retract the tool. If the tool is in a cut at an angle, it will crash when this key is pressed.

XIS
When adding a rotary table to the Haas mill change settings 30 and 34 to the specific rotary table and part diam-
eter 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 you may be required to modify some parameters to get a specific performance out of your indexer. Do
not do this without a list of parameters to change. (If you did not get a list of special parameters with your indexer,
then you do not need to change the default parameters—DO NOT CHANGE THEM. This will void your warranty.)
