Haas Horizontals: power · reliability · value

The Haas line of CNC horizontal machining centres continues to expand, offering a wide selection of rigid and powerful machines for every application. These rugged machines easily have the capacity to cut alloy steels, stainless steels, cast iron and high-nickel alloys, yet also provide the speed necessary for aluminium alloys.

Everybody knows that horizontals have the chip advantage. Rather than forcing chips out of vertical holes, the Haas horizontal lets gravity do its job - chips fall effortlessly out of the way. Instead of endmills cutting and recutting chip swarf, which destroys the tool's cutting edge, chips fall out of the way, leaving clean cutting conditions for the tool. The results: less chip clogging and double or triple tool life. With our built-in rotary tables and pallet changers, productivity easily doubles over vertical machining centres.

The Haas EC-1600 is a rugged 50-taper machining centre with 64" x 40" x 32" xyz travels, 64" x 32" table and 6,000-rpm, geared-head spindle. The standard T-slot table holds parts up to 10,000 lb, and the spindle is powered by a 30-hp vector drive system. A 30-pocket side-mount tool changer is standard. In base configuration, the EC-1600 comes without an enclosure, allowing complete access to the table for very large workpieces. The optional full enclosure includes dual chip augers and a coolant system with 80-gallon capacity.

The Haas EC-400 is an HMC with a host of high-productivity standard features. The EC-400 is a T-base horizontal machining centre with a generous work cube of 20" x 20" x 20", dual 400 mm pallets with 1,000-lb load capacity, incremental (1degree) indexing, a large-volume coolant system and triple-auger chip removal. An inline, direct-drive spindle system couples the motor directly to the spindle, which means less vibration, less heat and less noise than belt- or gear-driven systems - and hence superior surface finishes, excellent thermal stability and quieter operation. The standard 40-taper, 8,000-rpm spindle is powered by a 20-hp vector dual drive system. A side-mount tool changer and 1,000-ipm rapids are also standard, and a wide range of options is available to boost performance still further.

The Haas EC-500 is the newest Haas HMC, with a host of high-productivity standard features and extra-long travels. The EC-500 is a T-base horizontal machining centre with a work cube of 32" x 20" x 28", dual 500 mm pallets with 1,000-lb load capacity, incremental (1-degree) indexing, a large-volume coolant system and triple-auger chip removal. An inline, direct-drive spindle system couples the motor directly to the spindle, which means less vibration, heat and noise than belt- or gear-driven systems. This yields superior surface finishes, excellent thermal stability and quieter operation. The standard 40-taper, 8,000-rpm spindle is powered by a 20-hp vector dual drive system. A side-mount tool changer and 1,000-ipm rapids are also standard, and a wide range of options is available to boost performance still further.
