Haas EC-500 Horizontal Machining Centre
The high-productivity features of the new Haas EC-500 HMC include a 813 x 508 x 711 mm work cube, dual 500 mm pallets, 1-degree indexing, an 80-gallon coolant system and triple-auger chip removal.
The standard 8,000-rpm, 40-taper spindle is powered by the Haas 20-hp vector dual drive system; an optional 30-hp, 12K spindle is also available. Both spindles feature an inline, direct-drive system that couples the motor directly to the spindle. This results in less vibration, heat and noise than belt- or gear-driven systems - which means superior surface finishes, excellent thermal stability and quieter operation. A 40+1 side-mount tool changer and 12.7 m/min cutting feeds are also standard.
The servo-driven pallet changer on the EC-500 swaps pallets in just 9 seconds, and each 500 mm pallet has a load capacity of 454 kg. A separate load station allows the operator to safely load/unload parts or change fixtures on one pallet while parts are being machined on the other, keeping spindle run time at a maximum. A full 4th-axis rotary table is also available for shops requiring simultaneous 4-axis motion, and a 5th axis can be added for complex work.
