HAAS : A dominant presense in IMTS

IMTS is the premier manufacturing technology show in the Americas. For 2014, the show is expected to bring together more than 100,000 visitors from 112 countries to see more than 1900 exhibitors from around the world. This year, Haas will have 18 machines on display in 10,000 square feet of booth space, as well as 7 additional machines in vendor booths.

Here’s a list of what’s new since last IMTS:

UMC-750SS High-Speed Universal Machining Center
The UMC-750SS is a high-speed, 40-taper, 5-axis machining center with 30” x 20” x 20” travels, 1200 ipm rapids, and a high-speed dual-axis trunnion table. The machine is equipped with a 15,000-rpm inline direct-drive spindle, a high-speed 40+1 tool side-mount tool changer, and high-speed machining control software. The integrated roller-cam trunnion offers 150 deg/sec feedrates to quickly position parts to nearly any angle for 5-sided (3+2) machining, or provide full simultaneous 5-axis motion for contouring and complex machining. The 630 x 500 mm table has standard T-slots and a precision pilot bore for fixturing versatility, and the trunnion provides +110 and -35 degrees of tilt and 360 degrees of rotation for excellent tool clearance and large part capacity.

DM-1 40-Taper Drill/Mill Center
The DM-1 is a small-footprint, high-speed drill/mill center with a 40-taper spindle. The machine has a 20” x 16” x 15.5” work cube and a 26” x 15” T-slot table. The 40-taper inline direct-drive spindle turns to 15,000 rpm, and is powered by a 15 hp vector drive system that yields 46 ft-lb of cutting torque. A high-speed, 18+1 side-mount tool changer swaps tools quickly, and 2400 ipm rapids combine with high acceleration rates to shorten cycle times and reduce non-cutting time.

ST-55 Large-Through-Bore Turning Center
The ST-55 is a heavy-duty, long-bed turning center with a 12.5” diameter through-bore, a 25.5” x 80” maximum cutting capacity, and a 34.5” swing over the front apron. A 55 hp vector dual-drive unit powers the ST-55’s spindle through a Haas-built two-speed gearbox to provide 4250 ft-lb of torque in low gear. High gear provides a maximum spindle speed of 1000 rpm. Both front and rear A1-20 spindle noses accept a variety of aftermarket large-diameter manual and pneumatic chucks. The ST-55 comes equipped with a massive hydraulically clamped 12-station bolt-on style tool turret that accepts 7.25” split boring bar holders, as well as standard BOT toolholders.

ST-15 Small-Footprint Big-Bore Turning Center
The Haas ST-15 is a small-footprint big-bore turning center with a 2.5” bar capacity. The machine provides a maximum cutting capacity of 14” x 14”, with a swing of 16.25” over the cross slide. It is equipped with a 8.3” hydraulic 3-jaw chuck and a 12-station BOT turret. The ST-15’s A2-6 spindle nose has 3.5” bore and a 2.5” bar capacity. The machine’s 20 hp vector dual-drive spindle turns to 4000 rpm, and provides 150 ft-lb of torque.

ST-25 Compact Big-Bore Turning Center
The ST-25 is a compact big-bore turning center with a maximum capacity of 15” x 21” and a 31.75” swing over the front apron. The machine’s A2-6 spindle has a 3.0” bar capacity, and is equipped with a 10” hydraulic chuck. The spindle is powered by a 30 hp vector drive system, and turns to 3400 rpm. A 12-station bolt-on style turret is standard.

ST-35 Mid-Size Big-Bore Turning Center
The Haas ST-35 is a mid-size big-bore turning center with maximum capacity of 21” x 26” and a 31.75” swing over the front apron. The machine’s A2-8 spindle has a 4.0” bar capacity, and is equipped with a 12” hydraulic chuck. The spindle is powered by a 40 hp vector drive system through a 2-speed gearbox, and turns to 2400 rpm. A 12-station bolt-on style turret is standard.

Redesigned TL-1 Toolroom Lathe
The popular TL-1 Toolroom Lathe has undergone a complete redesign for 2014, with a new enclosure and better overall performance. The machine has a maximum capacity of 16” x 30”, with a 16” swing over the front apron. The A2-6 spindle nose has a 3” bore, and accepts either an 8” or 10” optional 3-jaw manual chuck. The spindle is powered by a 12 hp vector drive system, and now spins to 3000 rpm. Rapids have increased to 450 ipm on both X and Z axes. The enclosure is now standard on the TL-1, to better contain chips and coolant, and protect the operator.

6000-rpm Live Tooling for Turning Centers
The live tooling option for Haas turning centers (standard on dual-spindle and Y-axis models) now spins to 6000 rpm for faster material removal. That’s three times faster than the previous version, and it now provides the 25% increase in power already found on our ST-40 and larger machines. The Haas live tooling system also includes a servo-driven C axis for bidirectional spindle motion that is fully interpolated with X and/or Z motion.

TRT100 Compact, High-Speed, Dual-Axis Rotary Table
The Haas TRT100 dual-axis trunnion table provides high-speed, accurate positioning, and full 5-axis motion for machining small parts. Its very small size and light weight make the TRT100 the perfect 5-axis solution for even the smallest machining centers. Indexing speeds to 1950º/sec ensure short cycle times, and powerful brakes on both axes guarantee extreme accuracy for 3+2 machining.

15,000-rpm 40-Taper Inline Direct-Drive Spindles
Haas Automation now offers a 15,000-rpm inline direct-drive spindle for most of its 40-taper VMCs, including Super Speed models, VM Mold Maker models, and standard VFs. The spindle is driven by a 30 hp vector drive system, and yields 90 ft-lb of cutting torque.

Through-Tool Air Blast
The Haas Through-Tool Air Blast system provides high-pressure / high-flow air through the cutting tool to clear chips during dry machining. Because the Air Blast system uses the same plumbing as the Through-Spindle Coolant system, the operator can switch between the two systems, based upon their machining requirements.
