I have a Haas mill with the Renishaw probing system. I have used it for over three years without any problems.
Today (Friday), shortly after 5:00 pm, I broke the thingy between the stylus and the tool setter probe. I'm pretty sure it is designed to break at this point for easy replacement.
The reason I broke it, is because I had set the feed override at 600% while machining some soft jaws using the joglock function.
When I went to measure a tool, it came down fast, and didn't stop quickly enough when it contacted the stylus.
I called Haas, but they close after 5:00 pm.
Does anybody have advice on fixing this? Should I call Haas (Selway) on Monday and order a new part, or should I call Haas (Selway), and ask them to install it and calibrate it?
I'm too dumb to run the machine without the tool probe, so I guess I'm gonna take the weekend off.
