HAAS machines

HAAS machines deserve serious attention, as does the description of the product range. It includes vertical metal lathes containing CNC and other samples. It is also necessary to study the basic sizes and areas of use.

HAAS machines meet the most stringent requirements. This manufacturer is one of the 4 largest in the world. As he himself declares, the main goal is to produce high-performance and at the same time manageable devices as simply as possible. Designs are optimized for serial production.

The racks of such equipment are of a completely modern type. They are equipped with a typical keyboard. Each button is dedicated to a specific function. Downloading programs is possible via the USB port. It also allows you to fine-tune the device.

The principles of operation are simpler than on similar equipment from other brands. Having mastered one type of machine, thanks to the uniformity of control, it will be easy to switch to other equipment. Information about the current state is displayed on a separate screen. The CNC has an interactive system suitable even for inexperienced users. Each task can be saved as a program, and then used without updating or adding information.

Preparing finished drawings separately (outside the machine itself) is welcome. It is also worth highlighting the suitability of the Haas technique for multi-pass 3D machining. All service is carried out through one department. The control system is very well thought out and collects information about the state of the device. Therefore, in case of any malfunctions, repairs are carried out very quickly.

Reviews of this equipment are mixed. It is noted that it can work relatively well. An important plus is the decent value for money. At the same time, in a number of industries there are complaints about a quick breakdown. It can be assumed that this is due to a complete set of parts of heterogeneous quality.

Haas manufactures a wide variety of machine tools. The CNC model UMC-1250 is a good example of this. Such a device has a wireless probe measuring complex. A variable amount of the supply of lubricating and cooling liquid is provided (as required).

Haas vertical systems are also worth picking up. For example, milling and turning center VMT-750... It is designed to handle complex parts in single-station setup. The TCPC system reduces the cost of using the clamps. At the same time, productivity only increases.

A large number of other equipment of various sizes is available for metalworking. Duplex Y-axis systems are valued for their high productivity. The advanced spindles are wear-resistant and thermally stable. Machines of this kind can be designed for multi-axis machining. DS-30Y model:

• designed for 10-inch cartridges;

• provides rotation at speeds up to 4500 rpm;

• allows you to supply coolant in a variable volume;

• guarantees wireless connection to the control loop;

• can mill off-center metal;

• allows drilling and tapping.

Noteworthy is the Haas Desktop Mill. It is a fully functional device in terms of controls, which is suitable for the initial training of machine operators. Ideal for cutting plastics and wax processing. The spindle is capable of turning at speeds up to 15,000 rpm. Connection via Ethernet and Wi-Fi is provided.

In terms of value for money, the TOOLROOM series stands out. It contains samples suitable for teaching beginner machine tools. You can use this technique without even diving into the depths of the G-code. Spindle speeds range from 1800 to 3000 rpm in 60 seconds, and chucks can range from 8 to 10 inches. Model TL-1:

• designed for remote monitoring;

• has a spindle at 1800 rpm;

• equipped with a touch control screen;

• provides for a complex of visual design of parts processing;

• equipped with a transverse support;

• Supplied with a chip guard.

The HAAS SL-20 is an attractive machine with particularly high precision. It is suitable for both turning and threading operations. Particularly accurate drilling is also guaranteed. The occupied space is only 320x320 cm. The bearing blocks of the guides are made of first-class hardened steel.

Technical specifications:

• torsion frequency of the main spindle up to 4000 turns in 60 seconds;

• allowable cross-section of blanks 58.4 cm;

• shank of the main spindle A2-52;

• the greatest distance between centers is 61 cm;

• weight 4082 kg.

Haas machines are suitable for a wide variety of applications. They can also be useful in high volume production. Such equipment is suitable even for a "deserted" workshop.

Along with vertical milling machines, other types of machines are also found in the line of this manufacturer:

• multi-axis;

• turning;

• horizontal milling machines.
