Haas Automation Rotary TRT160

Put the magnetic base of a dial indicator on the spindle head.

Jog the X axis to center the platter on the spindle.

Jog the Y and Z axis until the indicator is above the platter edge.

Indicate the platter or collet face along the Y Axis.

Adjust Parameter 212 if the error is more than 0.0003\ (0.008mm)."

To ensure that the table will perform accurately, there are a few points of inspection that should be performed occasionally. There are basically four points of interest when inspecting the table: the platter face and I.D., runout, backlash and popout.

Platter Face Runout: To check the platter runout, mount an indicator to the body of the table. Position the stylus on the face of the platter and index the table 360 degrees (3600). The runout should be 0.0005" or less.

Platter I.D. Runout: To check the platter I.D. runnout, mount the indicator to the body of the table. Position the stylus on the through-hole in the platter and index the table 360 degrees (3600). The runout should be 0.0005" or less.

Backlash Between Worm And Gear: To check the backlash between the worm and gear, the air supply must first be disconnected. Place a magnet on the face of the platter at a radius of 4". Mount an indicator on the body of the table and position the stylus on the magnet. Use an aluminum bar to rock the platter back and forth (apply approximately 10 ft-lb while testing). Backlash should be between 0.0001" and 0.0006".

Popout: To check popout, first disconnect the air supply from the unit. Then, index the table 360 degrees. Mount an indicator to the body of the table. Position the stylus on the face of the platter and zero the dial. Connect the air supply and read the popout from the indicator dial. Popout should be between 0.0001" and 0.0005";

Put the magnetic base of a dial indicator [1] on the spindle head.

Jog the X axis to center the platter [2] on the spindle. Jog the Y and Z axis until the indicator is in front of the platter, near the edge. Make sure you can indicate the full diameter from left to right.

Indicate the platter or collet face along the X Axis. If the error is more than 0.0003\ (0.008mm) use a rubber or plastic mallet to adjust the position of the rotary. On the side near the front doors

Repeat this step until the error is less than 0.0003\ (0.008mm)."

If the error is within range tighten all of the screws. Indicate along the X axis to make sure the rotary did not move. If the error is more than 0.0003\ (0.008mm) lossen the screws. Adjust the position of the rotary."

Watch the indicator while making adjustments. Repeat this step until the error is less than 0.0003\ (0.008mm)."

If the error is within range the installation is complete.

9.2 ADJUSTMENTS TO THE TILTING ROTARY TABLE

The platter face, I.D. runout, backlash between worm and gear, and the popout are set at the factory and are not field serviceable. If any of these specifications are out of tolerance, contact your HAAS dealer for more information.

Backlash In The System: The backlash in the system can be compensated for by the use of Parameter 15. Contact HAAS service department for details.

The table is lubricated with MOBIL SHC 630. The oil level must not drop below the sight glass level. If the level is low, fill the table through the pipe plug in the middle-top of the body. Fill to the top of the sight glass. Do not over fill! If the oil is dirty, drain and refill with fresh oil (SHC-630). If the rotary axis needs to be refilled with oil, please contact HAAS for information. Do not attempt to refill!

After use, it is important to clean the rotary table. Remove all metal chips from the unit since the surfaces of the unit are precisely ground for accurate positioning and metal chips could damage those surfaces. Apply a coat of rust preventative.;
