Hi all.new to the community and have a question about HAAS lathe programming. Can anyone give me a simple example of a lathe program. For instance, something like a simple punch with say maybe 3 steps on it? Just looking for a place to start as I don't have any experience on a CNC lathe with manual programming. Any help is appreciated.Here ya go, this is for a threaded part with 2 different diameters.

There are some repititions on the diameter as this part is only.060' in diameter at its smallest section, being fairly long and me not wanting to set up the tailstock for it I corrected the tappering issues by machining the small section several times at slower and slower feedrates. I only needed 10 of these, if I needed more then I would have programmed it differently to reduce my cycle time.% O00600 (CLR0006 REVA) T808 (.375 360 BRASS) (1.2 IN. FROM CHUCK FACE) G00 Z2.

Conversational controls can be thought of as a single-purpose CAM system, making it quick and easy to generate a program right at the machine. With print in hand, the setup person can step up to the machine and quickly create the CNC program. Conversational controls allow programs to be entered without any need for math, and take much of the tediousness out of programming. With one popular turning center conversational control, for example, average programming time is under ten minutes.

Sorry for the delay. Trust me, I have not evaporated into thin air. I've programmed with Mastercam X3, but it wants to post out the LONG version of turning. This may be due in part to not having the proper post for the HAAS lathe. I'm interested in canned cycles for some of the turning etc. I've got a HAAS lathe programming workbook, but honestly, some of the things in there don't give the reasons for doing what's there.

I like to know why I'm doing something, not just taking it for granted. Anyway, thanks for the replies. Sorry for the delay. Trust me, I have not evaporated into thin air.

If you have a cam package then by all means let it do the work for you.

I thought the work book combined with the owners manual did a pretty good job of explaining canned cycles. Did your machine come with vqc templates?

If so it will write out the canned cycles based on answering a few dimensional questions that it asks you. The intuitive programming system works in much the same way as the vqc templates. Hope this helps. I agree, there is nothing wrong with the long version MasterCam generates.
