In General / Machine Setup
Please read this document completely to fully understand about the different settings and switches you can usewithin ESPRIT to create your customized kind of nc-code output. Based on different machine parameters on yourcontrol it is needed to be able to adopt your nc-code output and to give you more flexibility to fully support whatyour machine tool is able to do.
Important are mainly the Custom String 7, 8 and 9 of your Machine Setup as you can store a safe position of yourmachine tool there. This safe position will be used if you did a machining using your 4 th or 5 th axis for indexing andthen doing a 5 axis simultaneous machining where your previous used work plane gets disabled. We move yourtool to a safe position before your axis gets reset to 0.
For a proper programming please enable the “Custom Page” setting
Enable the “C ustom Page ” setting
Go to Menu:
Tools Options Machining and activate/set „Custom Page“ and select the button Default.
Enable

If you want some headlines at the beginning of your program, you have to design a custom cycle for the firstoperation.Go to Machining Common Machining Custom Cycle and choose Strings. Go to strings and type in yourheadlines.
Example:
( Test )( customer XY )( material: )....
Custom String 1 – 5 are output as a comment and Custom String 6 – 10 are output not as a comment.This adds the possibility to type in extra NC-code, BUT be very careful as this nc- code can’t be checked by thepostprocessor!!!

Tool Change
Tool call
In general the tool call looks like this:
T2 M06 Change to tool number 2T4 Preset tool number 4
The next tool is preset if the tool isn’t the same like the active tool. The first tool change always looks like shownabove. For the following tool changes you can choose whether the tool should be called again or not. And you canalso choose whether the tool should be preset or not.If you do not want the tool to be called again, just set custom setting 5 of the machine configuration to 1.In thiscase the tool is preset. If you set custom setting 5 to -1 there is no preset.The output looks like this:
Custom setting 5 = 0 T2 M06 Set T2 and change toolT4 Preset T4....T4 M06 Tool is repeated
Custom setting 5 = 1 T4 Preset T4 after first TC....M06 Tool Change (Tool T4 is not repeated)T4 Preset of next tool
Custom setting 5 = -1 T2 M06 Set T2 and change tool....T4 M06 Set T4 and change tool
Go to a safe position for tool change
Depending on the setup you choose for Movement X, Y, Z in the Tool setup you will get different movementsbefore tool change. You can go to the home position, to a machine position or to a position in the local coordinatesystem. But it’s also possible to set the setup to None .

HAAS-Series V1.01 ESPRIT-ProgrammingManual.docx Page 8 of 16
Since the HOME position in ESPRIT is the Tool change position but on the machine the G28 position is on theupper right side and the tool change is on the upper left side, the post doesn’t use G28 for the HOME position.
If HOME is chosen the post generates the following lines:
This also happens if HOME is used in a parking cycle. The values for the Home position can be changed inCustom setting 1, 2 and 3 of the machine configuration.
Go to a safe position before axes rotation
If the angles of one or both rotary axes change and there is no tool change before that rotation, the postautomatically generates code to go to a safe position before the axes get positioned. The position that will beprogrammed can be influenced by custom string 7 , 8 and 9. The post checks the machine setup and outputs anerror message is no safe position is set. If you do not want to go to a safe position before rotating the axes you canset -999 . If all three values are set to -999 the post uses G28 ( G0 G91 G28 Z0 ) to go to the Z-Home position in caseof a rotary move without tool change.

Circle – moves
Circles can be output either with radius or with arc center coordinates.In general the post uses radius output. If you want to use I, J and K for circle moves set custom setting 9 to 1.

Working with Work coordinates
Work Coordinates Settings
Since the machine has no RTCP the post uses a macro to calculate the new zero point when rotary axes get moved.If you want to use this macro you have to activate it in the machine configuration. Go to the machine configurationand set Custom String 10 to 1 (See Working with macro P9009 ). If you do not want to use the macro you have toset the exact situation of your machine in ESPRIT (See NOT Working with macro P9009 ).
All simultaneous operations need to be in a work coordinate system where Rotate with part is set to None
Working with macro P9009
If macro P9009 is used i t’s possible to work with several zero points. Machining Common MachiningMachine Setup General Coordinate System has to be Local. The macro moves the chosen zero point to thelocation where it gets moved because of the axes rotation.
All 3+2 axes operations have to be in a work coordinate system where Rotate with part is set to Point only orPoint and Orientation .
If you choose Point and orientation the zero point and the plane match exactly your NC-output. If you choose Pointonly the zero point matches exactly your NC- Output but the coordinate system doesn’t get rotated. After tablerotation the coordinate system matches XYZ machine coordinate.For both settings the nc-output is correct, so it just depends on your preferences.

NOT working with macro P9009
If macro P9009 is not used the zero point moves with the rotation, but the machine doesn’t know about it. For thatreason you have to set the exact position of you part in the machine configuration.Machining Common Machining Machine Setup General Coordinate System has to be World. Thepost checks whether the correct settings are used.
Example:
Let’s pretend P1 has the coordinates X0, Y100 and Z-150 in relation to XYZ – ESPRIT zero (G54) and P2 has X0, Y100Z-100. In this case the settings in the machine configuration have to look like shown on the next page.
Center of rotation of secondary axis = P2Center of rotation of primary axis = P1
ESPRIT-zero point = zero point of part for example G54

Inverse feed rate for simultaneous operations
It is possible to use inverse federate (G93). This can be activated by custom setting 8 of the machine configuration.If this parameter gets set to 1 or to 93 inverse feed is set for all simultaneous operations. If you only want to useinverse feed for a single operation than you can set custom setting 8 of the operation to 1 or to 93.
Feed has to be output in every line in case of inverse feed.
Reduce feed for prepositioning of B and C
If you want to use a feedrate move G01 for the first positioning of rotary axes instead of a rapid move G0 you canset custom setting 6 of the machine configuration to 1.
The postprocessor has several checks and outputs some alarms.
1) Feedrate may not be 02) Inverse Time Feedrate cannot be bigger than 450003) Spindle speed may not be 04) Angle bigger/smaller than maximum/minimum C-Angle (13653 degrees)5) Is Rotate with part in the WCS set to None for simultaneous operations6) Is Coordinate system set to Local and is Rotate with part in the WCS set to Point only or Point and
orientation for 3 axes and 3+2 axes if macro P9009 is used7) Is Coordinate system set to World if macro P9009 is not used.

Run Postprocessor
The postprocessor has to be added to the Machine Setup. Go to File Advanced NC-Code and first add Haas-Series_Vx.xx.pst.
Repeat this to add the post for macro P9009. Here it depends on the machine you are using. The following macrosare available:
Haas_P9001_A.pst 4 axis only with an A-axis available (rotates around X)Haas_P9001_B.pst 4 axis only with a B-axis available (rotates around Y)Haas_P9001_AC.pst 5 axis where there is an A-axis and a C-axis available
(A rotates around X, C around Z)
Haas_P9001_BC.pst 5 axis where there is a B-axis and a C-axis is available(B rotates around Y, C around Z)

For the output of macro P9009 you can decide whether you want to output the program each time, or if you wantto output it once and safe it on the machine.If you only want to output it once, you can just deactivate the check-box after saving the file to the machine.
For post-output choose File NC-Code or F9.
