Hi. Mike Corliss with Tormach. Today we're going to talk about...
...the Haimer 3d sensor. It will measure in X and Y...
...and also in Z. You can do your whole work piece setup with one tool.
Now if you're going to to use the third axis, the Z axes,
with this for your touchoff measure this like you measure your tools
and this offset has to be entered into your...
...offset table.
That's spelled out in the machine manual itself.
Now the first time you go to use this
...you are going to want to check the concentricity of the tip.
Make sure that it's running true with your spindle. They're set at the factory...
but you are going to want to check it...
...before you use it just to ensure the tip is running concentric.
And if it's not, there are screws right here...
and that's what we are going to adjust.
There's a supplied Allen wrench
and that's how you are going to adjust the concentricity of the tip to the spindle.
There's four set screws.
Just clamp it up, see how it runs.
ka.chunk.
So the indicator...
...dial is moving about two and a half thou as I rotate...
...the Haimer in the spindle so we'll adjust the set screws on the Haimer.
There, now if you watch the...
...indicator doesn't move at all so we got the...
...ball running nice and concentric with the spindle. After you've got that adjusted once...
...that's probably not going to move around on you much
You should be pretty gentle with these anyways being a precision instrument.
As long as it's not getting bumped around that shouldn't move on you.
but it's probably good practice to check on it in a great while.
This will show you true center of the spindle
...there's a four millimeter ball on here. Two revolutions on the dial...
...will bring the axes of the machine to true center...
...of the Haimer.
And it will read zero with the red indicator and also with the black.
We can find the X, Y, corner here for Zero.
Okay, I've got it all lined up
And now we bring it in.
One revolution.
Now it's coming up on the second revolution.
Right there. The Y of the machine is lined up perfectly with our part,
because we moved that tip off.
So now we can just zero our Y here.
Now the front of our part is our Zero. And then we can do the same with the X.
And that's Zero.
okay so that's how to use it to find a corner.
Go to zero on the X and on the Y
It's either going to find you the edge you're looking for
or like we did both X and Y to find the corner.
You can also use it to find the center.
Touch off on both Y, the positive side and the minus side
split the difference to find the center of your workpiece
And I'll show you that.
When you're finding the center it doesn't matter if you go...
...the full two revolutions like we did for the side...
...or if you just do one revolution...
just as long as you do the same on both sides.
I'll just do one revolution here.
One full revolution at zero here on the readout. I'll zero my DRO.
And then on this side of the part,
I'll just do one revolution,
and then divide that overall number by two.
And that's going to be my X Center.
And then we can do the same in Y.
Zeeeep,..Click..
...Baddooooo... ...ba-chunk-chunk
Ba..dun..da..dee..uuu... bleeeee..to... buuuhhh..
...buuuhhh..
...bleeeee...uuuu...
...kachunk..kachunk..kachunk...
Well that's our X,Y Zero picking off the outside now...
...we can do Z.
Bring it down.
Blleee...uuuu... ...kchunk...kachunk...kachunk...
The way to use the third axis function, the Z axes function...
of the Haimer, you have to have that number measured like you measure the rest of your tooling...
...and that number entered into your tool offset page
and then that tool number called up so...
so it's referencing. You can't just zero the axes now...
and expect it to work it's, it's gotta be done just like it's spelled out in the...
...machine manual. So that's how you find the corner
...that's how you find the center in X and Y.
Now we can pick up a hole with this also.
Eeeeee...uuuuuu....
And we do it the same way as we found outside the part, zero off each side.
But what we'll do is we'll do X twice because,
as you can see I'm shifted off the center of the hole because you'll never going to
be on right on the center of the hole.
Just do whatever axes you pick to do first. Do it first, and then do it again,
after you find the other axes. Bedoo..bedoo..bedoo...
baaaa..zoooo.. chaaaaaaa....
kaaachunk..chunk..chunk..chunk..
Now you can divide that number by two.
Now I'll jog until the DRO reads Zero.
beee..uuuu..aaaa...
...uuuu...aaaa...
zip...zip..zippp..
And then I'll do the Y Axes.
uuuuuuuuu....
zoooo...uuuuaaaaa... baaaaaaa...
on
And then right after I have the Y I'll go back and redo the X.
uuuu..aaa... zipp..zipp..zipp

UUUU..AAA.. zeee..booo..aaaa..
zeee..uuuu...aaaa.. aaaaaaaaaa...
pew..pew..pew..pew..

mineeee
...aaaaaaaaa...
...uuuuuuuu....
So that's how you...
...pick up a corner, pick up the center of a square workpiece,
and to pick up a hole.
They're very quick to use and very accurate.
The first time you take it out of the package go ahead and dial...
...the concentricity in and it'll be really accurate for you.
A good accurate way to pickup your workpiece.
Ba..da..ba..da.. ba..doobie..doo..baa..doo..
