Why does nobody talk about how tool offset memory fills up way faster than you expect
I work at a small shop in Cleveland, been running a Haas VF-2 for about 4 years now. Last Tuesday I was setting up a job that needed 18 different tools, nothing crazy, just a typical production run. I go to punch in the offsets and the machine tells me the memory is full. I've never hit that limit before because I usually only run 8 or 10 tools at a time. I spent 45 minutes going through and deleting old offsets from jobs going back 6 months, stuff I thought I might need again but probably never will. What I learned is that the machine saves every offset you've ever entered unless you manually clear them out, and it adds up quick. Has anyone else run into this wall or am I the only one who never knew this was a thing?
