And the modern, high-tech Haas machines But Haas Automation also benefits. In addition to numbers! But as technology marches forward, many M provide the opportunity for students to learn on the type of brand-name exposure to students, selected institutions technical schools and other institutions can’t keep up. Most equipment they will encounter in the industry. are designated as HTEC Showrooms, where the local school budgets are not generous, so developing comprehensive, Bob Skodzinsky, Manager of the North American HTEC Program, Haas Factory Outlet can bring business owners and up-to-date curricula and getting modern CNC machine tools for points out that another major benefit of the HTEC network is the potential customers to see Haas machines training are difficult. Industry needs machinists and engineers – forum it provides. “The HTEC focus is on quality and collaboration,” demonstrated on-site. These include institutions across so industry must help. he explains. “Each HTEC benefits by learning from the others. By the USA and Canada like Texas A&M University, Haas Automation, Inc., has addressed the situation through its Haas collaborating, each HTEC uses the ‘best practices’ of them all – Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Northern Alberta Technical Education Center (HTEC) program. HTECs are partnerships improving the quality of instruction and the ability of the graduates.” Institute of Technology. The local business representatives not only see working Haas CNC between Haas Automation, the Haas Factory Outlet network and HTECs participate in local and regional HTEC meetings, and a machine tools, but also meet instructors and students, manufacturing-oriented training centers, community colleges and national conference. This ensures that teaching methods and which frequently leads to local industry support for the universities. In addition to benefitting Haas and the learning institution, materials are kept current and efficient. HTEC membership also institution. this program raises the knowledge and utility of the graduates – and provides access to vendor products – like tooling, CAM software and ultimately improves the manufacturing industry in general. training software – at deep discounts. Other HTEC benefits include The HTEC program is open to all accredited educational institutions that have a manufacturing- oriented program. The course must meet minimum standards, and use Haas CNC machine tools. HTEC graduates receive excellent education and training, and take this knowledge with them wherever they make their careers. That injection of knowledge and innovation improves the industry for everyone. The response to the HTEC program has greatly exceeded Haas Automation’s expectations. The USA and Canada boast more than 650 HTECs, with nearly 2,000 Haas machines in use at 100 high schools, more than 100 technical schools, almost 300 community colleges and nearly 200 universities. But Haas has bigger plans. The company is extending this highly successful program to Europe, with 100 HTECs scheduled to open within 5 years. “However, judging by the response we are already experiencing, this is probably a very conservative number,” says Peter Hall, Managing Director of Haas Automation Europe. “I anticipate raising that number to at least 200 in the near future.”

The spindle is driven by a heavy-duty electric motor that is powerful Educational Series 2008 enough to turn the spindle thousands of revolutions per minute (this one spins to 12,000 rpm), while still delivering plenty of torque for heavy metalcutting.

The spindle shaft is supported at both ends by heavy-duty, high-speed bearings that are lubricated with a pressurized oil mist for trouble-free operation.

The cutting tool, mounted in a tapered holder, is held in place in the spindle’s taper by a drawbar that extends through the center of the spindle.

Automatic Tool Changer

Machining a part requires different tools for different processes. A rough shaping cut requires a different Moving in 3 Directions tool than a surface-finishing cut. A hole must be drilled with one tool before it is tapped with another. A VMC provides motion in three axes: X (the table moves left and And worn tools must be replaced with new ones. right), Y (the table moves front and back) and Z (the spindle head moves up and down). Each of the axes rides on precision guide- Changing tools manually is very time consuming, so machine tool ways, and a servomotor turns a ballscrew to provide movement. builders developed automatic tool changers to speed-up the process. And because cutting tools (drills, taps, endmills, etc.) come Graceful shapes and complex geometries can be machined by in all shapes and sizes, they are mounted in toolholders that have a combining these three simple back-and-forth movements. standardized taper (in this case, 40-taper) that will fit into any pock- Highly accurate encoders monitor the position of each axis et of the tool changer. constantly, and the computer control coordinates the movement of all three axes simultaneously. When a job is set up, the cutting tools, mounted in their tapered hold- ers, are loaded into the tool changer – the machine’s control keeps track of each tool’s location. When a new tool is needed, the spindle stops, and the tool in the spindle is exchanged with the next required tool from the tool changer.

The entire process takes just a few seconds. Here’s an example of how it works:

Two precision rails are attached to the saddle (A), and two bearing trucks ride along each rail. The table (B) is bolted to the bearing trucks, which allows the table to slide freely along the rails. A servomotor (C) and ballscrew (D) are fixed to the saddle, while the table is attached to the ballscrew with a ball nut (E). The servomotor turns C-Frame Foundation the ballscrew to move the table left or right along the saddle. This same setup moves the saddle and spindle head. When viewed from the side, the foundation of a Haas VMC looks like a large letter “C.” The three main components are: the base (A), the column (B) and the spindle head (C). Made of cast iron THE MODERN CNC MACHINE TOOL and bolted together to create a heavy-duty, vibration-absorbing structure, these components provide the rigid foundation The concept of a machine that can provide three axes of movement for cutting metal and other materials has changed very little since the dawn of the industrial revolution. for the rest of the machine assembly. These simple, basic tools, however, have benefited substantially from the application of computer technology.

The EC-1600 base model is configured as an open-frame HMC with unimpeded access to the table – which handles workpieces weighing up to 10,000 lb. For added versatility, the EC-1600 may be configured with an optional 5-degree face-gear indexer or full 4th-axis rotary platter built into the table. All 50-taper EC models also are available with an optional full enclosure that includes a high-volume coolant system and quad chip augers. Even with the full enclosure, you’ll still have plenty of access through a 61" door opening. Extended travel versions Need a little more travel? Haas offers several extended-travel versions of the EC-1600 to meet the needs of every shop. ZT models add 8" of Z-axis travel, and YT models add 10" of Y-axis travel. Need both? Order the YZT version, which extends travels on both the Y and the Z axis.

Hydraulic Clamping for 4th-Axis Platter

To hold the 4th-axis platter in position under heavy cutting loads, the EC-1600 utilizes an ingenious hydraulic-brake design. Hydraulic fluid is pumped at 1,000 psi into a sealed cavity between two disks. With no place to escape, the fluid forces the outer disc against the inner wall of the gear. Assembled with minimum clearance to the gear wall, a push-out of only a few thousandths of an inch yields 4,000 ft-lb of brake torque. And with no moving parts, the system provides long-term, trouble-free operation.

Also used on HS Series HMCs with built-in 4th axis
