- In Part 2 of our probe series, Mark further troubleshoots the wireless probing system for Haas mills (WIPS). Today, Mark discusses the importance of properly indicating-in your spindle probe, deciphers the infamous “Probe Fail” alarm, and offers some useful tips on how to properly place your table probe and workholding to avoid interference. If you have a probe system, or have ever considered adding one, you need to watch this video!

Batteries ... out HFO technician warned us for this. We had a lot of weird probing errors lately with the probe not starting up or suddenly giving up after a few points of probing. A colleague went to a local shop and finally got some same size lithium batteries of an unknown brand. These lasted for 3-4 weeks.
Tip: buy the Saft LS14250 batteries. These are Li-SoCl2 type batteries and that type of batteries is guaranteed to keep their power if stored even for years. We have one WIPS set (spindle probe + tool probe) so I bought 10 batteries in a bulk pack. These should last me a few years without any problems.
Thanks for the tips, I'm setting one up tonight for a friend and this will make it a lot easier.
In dealing with line of sight issues, how about a way to relocate the receiver within the enclosure?
Also, as a former software engineer I spent a good deal of time working on user interfaces. I'm curious, when protecting the probe offset, why does the user need to set it as a probe and also choose clear all offsets except probe? Why not just add a binary column to all tools that protects them from being cleared? That seems rather error prone, and the price is time to recalibrate.
Can you make a video on why I need a Probe and what they are used for? positives and negatives also?
Great idea, thanks! A side-by-side typical setup, with and without a probe, would be cool. I’ll put it on the list. In the meantime, we have a Wireless Probe video that might shed some light on things: ruclips.net/video/lj8_9YHL5nc/видео.html.

I was using a trunnion and infrared probe and just held a mirror so the receiver could "see" the probe.
hi Mark.
excellent video.
can you make another video showing us how to use a reninshaw probe automaticaly to get cero work piece, step by step and showing us what page, what keys to press, and differents shapes of the pieces?
Hi Luis - We just filmed the video you suggested. Look for it to be released in the next month or so. Thanks for the comment. - Mark, Haas Tip-of-the-day
Who decided of all the technologies to use for wireless probing, picked infrared instead of any form of radio wave?
Radio comm. isn't that easy in metal enclosure either, but surely would be a more reliable option. The tool setter could easily be made wired instead, much like the rotary tables... The spindle probe could be powered and communicate through inductive coupling if the spindle housing (and the probe holder) would be especially designed for this. No batteries, no issues, indestructible industrial solution.
I have a 2010 Mini Mill 2 with the wireless Renishaw probing system, lately it has been giving me a weird problem, batteries are good, calibration has been redone and the probing cycles all work perfectly except the Z surface probing that gives me a probe failure alarm 9 times out of 10.... this is driving me insane... do you have any idea what could mess up ONLY the z axis probing cycle and not the others ?
Serge Gostoli - You should probably get your Dealer involved (www.haascnc.com/about/contact.html ), or give Renishaw a call on this one (847-286-9953). They can walk you through checking the probe. Typically, 1) reloading the probe macros, 2) clearing macro variables, 3) changing probe battery, and then 4) recalibrating the probe will fix almost all probing issues. - Mark, Haas Tip-of-the-day
I’m getting a 378 alarm probe skip signal found has anybody had the same problem?
you say to dial in the brobe but don't tell us how to udjust it if it's running out.
Is there a way to hide the offset of my probe so that the machine operator don't delete or put different tool in?
Javier - On Mills with the Next Gen Control, we can safeguard the Probe Tool Offset just by setting the Tool Type as “Probe”. On machines with Classic controls, there is nothing to keep the operator from clearing the probe offset. If it is cleared, it is best just to recalibrate the length of the probe. - Mark, Haas Tip-of-the-day.
If it can be made in Indonesian subtitle, I find no Indonesian subtitle
ok
In hindi sub title please
como calibrar una corona de 3 pulgadas en el ost???
Check out this video around 4:00 and following(ruclips.net/video/lj8_9YHL5nc/видео.htmlm). We set the Tool Length and Diameter on a Shellmill. Hope this helps! -Mark, Haas Tip of the Day
That's right because what you want in a probing system is to have to find the center yourself just to tell the probe how to do the very job for which you spent thousands of dollars for it to do.
