WOW.....its been awhile since I've made a video!!! Anyway, in this video I'm hoping to teach beginners who have very little programming experience on how to program an older HAAS Bar feeder. I manually write new programs at the machine controller and that's kind of what these videos are all about. Most places now probably have a dedicated person for writing programs and drawing blueprints...but, If you are just starting out and need to learn how to program by hand, I hope these videos will help :-) Programming a bar feeder can look intimidating but hopefully I'm able to help you out. I try to lay out all the steps needed to get you rolling! Most older bar feeders use metal tubes with o-rings, which I did not show in this video, instead I showed in this video our one lathe that has plastic liners that come in various sizes. You can get to the bar feed page by first pressing the MEM button(memory) first then the Current commands buttons. From there you will Page up or Down until you get to the bar feed page. From there I describe in the video what to do. There are also many other things to consider , but my video ran almost 20 minutes, so I shortened it down to just under 14 minutes and tried to give as much info as possible. I do realize this video may be a little bit more advanced for beginners....but, I still figured it could help out. Please be sure to check out my playlist of my other CNC videos!!
