You would probably recognize the way the collet closer works too. It is the same lever-type closer but they have mounted an air piston to lock it in place.

Hi David, have you tried to make double push with the bar pusher? There are g105 address codes, any experience with that?

@@autumn8468 I don't know what you mean by" double push". But I do use the bar pusher.

@@dsh1001 G105 with a J code. Double push operation is for making a long part.

@@autumn8468 If I understand you correctly, you want to avoid tool deflection on long, thin parts. You want to (for example) push the stock, turn half the part, then push the stock again to turn the other half. You can probably do it (sort of) if you have macros enabled on your machine. I believe all of the bar feeder macros are in the 31xx range. Essentially, you run the first half of the program then put in a line of macro commands to change the bar feed length (#3100 I think), feed to the new length then run the rest of your program. The only problem would be getting the bar to feed to that second position precisely every time. I doubt the CL-1 bar pusher is capable of that sort of precision since it is a simple feed-to-stop type. You would probably need a servo driven bar feeder to be that precise and even those are usually only accurate to about .005 inches at best. A swiss-turn machine may be a better fit for this type of part.

@@dsh1001 Thanks David. Swiss would be a better choice, but we have the CL-1.

The YT means that machine has an additional 4" of y-axis travel, 20". That's more than a standard VF-2 or VF-2SS which have 16" of y travel.

Go to your haas dealer in india and ask them for a demonstration.

Yes this video shows it cutting steel. This machine has 5hp, which is plenty. It can probably cut titanium and other even harder metals.

I have been cutting 304 stainless and it does well.

You don't have to get into the tool area to load a bar. The feeder swings out to load. You can see it more clearly in some of the other videos.

No and probably no.

Yes it does live tools, not sure if they can be put on the turret for axial milling and off center drilling though. The website shows it as a side mounted option, so that would allow milling and drilling only perpendicular to the spindle

So far it is capable of two live tools that will drill/mill on center only. The tools are mounted on the same slide as the turning tools but on the opposite side. I have been using negative numbers to program the live tooling but there may be another way.

lol me too

Thumbs up!
