located between the spindle head and the machine table clip the zip ties that hold the flex tube tight to the shipping cradle now the Z-axis is free to move upwards at the control pendant, press zero return and then all the Z-axis will move upwards to clear the shipping cradle and the shipping bracket so they can be removed from the machine the machine used in our video example has the WlPS option installed and in this case, also remove the protective shipping bracket for the WlPS tool probe now we will begin the machine leveling process which achieves 3 things first, the machine is set at the correct height to clear the coolant tank second, the machine is rough leveled front to back and side to side finally, any twist or bow in the base casting is removed to ensure the machine will cut accurately the leveling process is covered in detail in an accompanying video available on the Haas portal with the machine geometry verified start the spindle warm up program press list program and then select the memory tab select program O0202 spindle warm up and press select program press cycle start and the spindle will begin turning at 500 RPM mention to the customer that it's good to run this program first thing in the morning anytime the machine has been sitting for more than a few days remove the protective film from the side windows the monitor the door handles and the enclosure entry edge protector now is a good time to install the coolant tank and its related components install the coolant tank handle onto the tank install the standard and TSC pumps and the gate filter is necessary remove the cover from the coolant level sensor jack insert the connector, and reinstall the cover cap before attaching the coolant level sensor to the coolant tank check that it registers the correct empty 1/2 full and full positions on the current commands page this will verify the sensor connection is good make the following connections between the machine the coolant pump hoses and the power cables attach the 3/4" coolant line from the coolant manifold to the standard coolant pump connect the power cord from the standard coolant pump to the receptacle labeled coolant if the machine is equipped with a TSC option connect the high pressure hose coming from the TSC pump to the high pressure filter on the machine connect the power cord for the TSC coolant pump attach the spray nozzle to the wash down hose and connect the hose to the mounting point on the enclosure when the coolant pump connections are complete ask the customer to fill the coolant tank so the connections that were just made can be tested for leaks while you are waiting for the customer to fill the coolant tank it's a good time to recheck the incoming voltages for fluctuations note the readings and compare them to your previous numbers variations should not be greater than plus or minus 5% when comparing your current values to those taken earlier if you note any fluctuations, let the customer know they may have some reason for concern in this video example, the 3 phase to phase and 3 phase to ground values are acceptable when the coolant tank is full, run each part of the coolant system to check that none of the connections are leaking use the machine's packing list to review the installed options for this machine and perform any installation steps required and check each option for proper function with the options checked, the spindle warm up program should be finished the installation is now complete and the machine is ready to run thank you for watching this review of Haas VMC installation process
