@3000+ machines per month you can bet the bugs are well worked out.

I`m not trying to start crap about anything ,, I have a couple pre Next gen controls in the shop and for the most part they have been great ,,, I have a lot of small second op stuff coming up and need a small fast machine machine and found that used haas machines are nuts on price ... I like the idea of a DM2 machine in that it uses all the programs from the Pre next machines and tool holders.
I know Haas can build some vary user friendly and reliable controls,,, but there is a time with most new controls were they DE-BUG them and I have no idea if haas has got past it with the next gen or not ?
Seriously?
Interested in a few bugs?
How'bout one for starters: Machine with gearbox-> power-up restart fails 8 out of 10 times due to gearbox fault.
Nothing is wrong mechanically, it just doesn't see the homing signal. Why?
Does your machine have an umbrella tool changer, rather than a side mount?
did you try Current Commands -> Devices, scroll down to Spindle Orient, and hit F2 for orient spindle?
we've got one NGC VF2 on our shop floor with a gearbox that has been a little fussy for some reason, but that seems to solve our problem.
Nope, did not think of trying that, but the issue started with the latest software release.
Before then the machine homed out fine every time, but it was alarming out during program-run every now and then.
Before then there were no gearbox faults at all, except an M42/M43 caused a spindle stop, switch high, switch low and the spindle start again.
That's why I've said when something gets fixed, often it comes at the price of breaking something else.
Old control: Absolutely flawless, every time, all the time.

Result: Hole @X0 Y0 gets a .1 sec dwell, all others from the sub get a 9 second dwell each.
Can you guess why?
Currently on 2037, been on a few versions but be damned if I remember which ones.
The gearbox fault was just that, and it happened randomly, perhaps 1 out of 30 gear switches, and I believe it was almost always from high to low.
The M42/43 was fixed perhaps 2 ( to me ) releases ago.
As far as service and warranty, hats off to them as so far everything they did was covered, but it really isn't the HFO's fault to have to come out for software issues,
certainly not for ones that should have NEVER escaped Oxnard in the first place!
And to that point, here is another example:
