Haas NGC: Entering Lathe Offsets 202

Haas NGC: Entering Lathe Offsets 202 addresses concepts and processes for entering offsets on the Haas Next Generation Control (NGC) lathe. Offsets on the NGC lathe include work offsets and a range of tool geometry offsets. Tool geometry offsets for the Haas NGC lathe include tool length, radius, tip direction, and wear offsets. This course describes each individual offset and explains how to navigate the offsets menu and enter offset values into the NGC panel. Performing turning operations on the NGC lathe requires a conceptual understanding of lathe offsets and the ability to enter tool and work offsets using the appropriate steps. Correctly determining and entering tool and work offsets allows operators to improve efficiency by producing more parts within tolerance, minimizing machining errors, and reducing loss due to scrapped or reworked parts.
