Haas Probing angles

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentleman. Is it possible to probe the angle a part is setting and then move the 0.0 to the bore using the probe to do both. I have to probe each part along with working off of center-line. Haas VF2SS bought new in January.

Thanks

Yes, it is possible. It's not a canned cycle that I am aware of, so you'll need to think a little and string together the PROBE, RESULT, INPUT, MOVE OFFSET sequences. But it's a fairly common series of ops.

1. Measure the bore, set WCS in its center.
2. Measure angle.
3. Rotate the coordinates accordingly, center of the bore being the center of rotation.

Two cast parts located in fixture for secondary operations, no X,Y probing. But you get the idea.
#501 and #502 are called with G68 at each operation for respective part.

Weirdo Z values are because parts are on large trunion blocking access to the tool setter. So ignore that.

As GENERALDISARRAY has mentioned, G68 is what you'll want from the sounds of it.

You may find a thread I started a while ago to be helpful. I got a lot of good feedback from it.
