How to Start A Job in the Middle of The Program – Haas Automation Tip of the Day

Today, Mark shows how to use Setting 36, the Haas Program Restart feature. Have you ever had your power go out right in the middle of your program? Or maybe you broke a tool or needed to change an insert, or wanted to inspect your part during the finish pass. With Haas’ Program Restart, it’s no problem! Mark shows you yet another powerful Haas feature that comes standard with every machine.

NOTE: The Program Restart Feature is available on current Haas machines with the exception of NGC Lathes and our GM 5-Axis mills. On those machines, the Program Restart feature has been limited for machine safety as some cycles and machine capabilities would conflict.

Useful update: The last Line “N” Number being run is displayed above your program, in MEM, even if the power goes out and the machine is restarted! This will let you know where the machine was at if power was lost, if you use N numbers. – Mark, Haas Tip-of-the-day

Lol that Troll 2 “Oh my gooodddd!” scream in the *earthquake scenario* cracks me up! 😂

I use the program Restart feature at least 5 times a day. Thanks for the great videos as usual Mark!

Thanks, Mark! I called Haas in Rochester NY and no one there knew how to do this. I kept asking them, "do you have a sequence or number restart on these machines?" No one knew. I couldn't believe it. You saved the day with this video! Thanks again!

these videos came out when I was going to school for cnc machining, I love how I still enjoy watching them

Great video! Something interesting to remember is that if you are running a macro in your program to change an offset (for example), the restart will increment the macro, assuming the macro is before your restart position.
I got bit by this once and it's now it's on my mind when I am using restart.

I'm been a HAAS Machinist for a wile now and that code is so helpful​ great video

Thanks Mark! I can't count how many times this would have been useful! I'll definitely be using this in the future!

I had to shut down in the middle of a long toolpath this morning, and was moaning and groaning about it ... get home and check my e-mail and PRESTO! Problem solved. Unbelievable timing.

Single block + offsets at distance to go [and low rapid speed] may take a little longer to get stuff done BUT... saves the agony of part getting munched!

Will this work if I don’t have line numbers ????

I have used this and it is a life saver 👍

[kisspeteristvan]

Helpful really . how far back does this go, for example will it work on machines 2005 and onward ?, also is it a standard setting ?

[klazzera]

your videos are pretty dank for a cnc channel, keep going on!

[justinlarhette]

Is there a way to restart at a certain loop in a repeated m97 subprogram?

[kisuke]

what if i adjust the x or y offset, does the machine will read the value i enter?

[mikegt]

cool, learned something, thank you, mike

[jonathanblaser]

Can you guys go over G101 mirror image?

С недавних пор работаю на обрабатывающем центре «Хаас». Техническая литература по данному типу оборудования отсутствует. Спасибо за совет, Марк!
