#2 THE HAAS JOURNAL JOURNAL HAAS ON THE COVER The Haas UMC-500 and UMC-500SS are the latest additions to our growing line of affordable, easy-to-use, 5-axis universal machining centers. With roughly the same footprint as a VF-2, these versatile machines pack a lot of capability into very little space, making them perfect solutions for 3+2 machining and simultaneous 5-axis machining of smaller parts. The UMC-500 is available in standard and Super Speed versions, with a wide selection of high-productivity options available, including high- speed HSK-A63 spindles.

You We’ve done all the work: It’s built into the machine; could try to hire a person, but qualified operators are it’s controlled by the machine; and there’s no additional setup – or cost. hard to find, and they’re not always 100% reliable. Shift your mindset. The Haas APL is a simple You could buy a 6-axis robot to automate your processes, but that can be a “operator” that can help you get hours of extra production time after your other operators have gone complex, involved, and expensive proposition, often requiring extensive integration home. Or, it can free up your skilled machinists for – at additional cost. more complex tasks during the day. The Haas APL provides simple, affordable automation for your Haas small VMC or lathe, And there’s no need for special training or additional that is fully integrated with your machine, right out of the box. software, our simple and intuitive templates built into the Haas control make job setup and programming fast and easy. 6-MONTHPAYBACK!

Full 5-axis motion is provided by a robust right-angle rotary assembly mounted to a massive rotary platter integrated into the machine’s T-slot table. The C axis has a 630 mm T-slot platter with a 10.13" (257 mm) through hole, and provides 360° ST-30L of rotation. The B-axis provides ±120° of rotation. The ST-30L is a long-bed version of our very popular ST-30 mid-size turning center. The machine’s whopping 60" of Z-axis travel make it perfectly suited for turning the long shafts, rollers, pipes, and tubes found in the industrial printing, alternative energy, and oil & gas industries. To support long parts and prevent vibrations, a steady rest provision and programmable tailstock are available. • 60" of Z-axis travel • Steady rest provision and tailstock available • Large double doors allow loading of long parts, and provide easy operator access Haas Automation, Inc. / www.HaasCNC.com / Made with Pride in the USA 7 NEWPRODUCTFOCUS NEWPRODUCTFOCUS The new 36-pocket tool changer option for the CM-1 Compact Mill not only increases the machine’s tool CM-136-POCKET capacity, but also results in significant improvements to HSK the machine enclosure.

The vise commands are integrated directly into the Haas control, and allow the operator to set a retract distance for the jaws, much like on a tailstock. The control uses current monitoring to sense when the vise is clamped, and clamp force is variable, to accommodate a variety of workpiece types and sizes. • 4" CNC vise • Direct integration with the Haas control and APL • Programmable retract distance, similar to a tailstock WHY • Variable clamping force HAAS? HIGH-PRESSURE FLOODCOOLANT The number one cause of premature tool failure is re-cutting chips. Our High-Pressure Flood Pump solves this problem by delivering up to 45% more coolant to the cutting zone – at higher pressure – to flush out chips and swarf.
