A Case of Caring
I’m very lucky: In my work with our CNC Educators Network, I’ve met hundreds of dedicated teachers at all levels.

Dual-Spindle Turning Centers
The Haas DS-30 Series dual-spindle turning centers provide the ability to turn both ends of a part in a single setup to minimize part handling, increase throughput, and reduce work-in-process.

HMC Expands Capacity
As the aerospace, automotive and mold-and-die industries trend toward monolithic components and large structures, there is a growing need for large-travel machining centers.

Y-Axis Turning Center
The ST-20SSY high speed turning center features a Y axis, C axis and live tooling to provide a four-axis solution for “done in one” machining of turned parts.   The turning center has a maximum cutting capacity of 10" × 20.5", with maximum swings of 31.75" over the front apron and 20.75" over the cross-slide.

Drill and Tap Machine With Milling
The DT-1 from Haas Automation Inc., is a compact, high-speed drill and tap machine with full milling capabilities.

VMC Enhancements
 The company has redesigned its entire VF product line to incorporate a range of enhancements.

High Performance Turning Center
The Haas ST-30 turning center was designed from the ground up to be extremely rigid, highly accurate and thermally stable. All castings were optimized using finite element analysis to produce the most rigid designs, while improving chip and coolant flow, and simplifying maintenance and service, the company says.

Selecting A VMC: Things To Consider
A three-, four- or five-axis vertical machining cneter can run the gamut of capability and cost. Assessing your application requirements now and in the future can make for a much wiser machining cneter purchase.

High-Speed VMCs For High-Precision Industries
Haas Automation Inc. offers a line of VMCs designed for the moldmaking, tool and die and medical industries. Called the VM Series, these VMCs provide the accuracy, rigidity and thermal stability required for high precision work, the company says.

Toolroom Mills For Production Machining
Haas toolroom mills are available in three sizes. Travels are 30" x 12" x 16" for the TM-1, 40" x 16" x 16" for the TM-2 and 40" x 20" x 16" for the TM-3. For production work, fully enclosed versions of the TM-1 and TM-3 are available as the TM-1P and TM-3P.

Lathe For Automated Operation
Many shops today are looking to automation and automatic part loading as a means to reduce costs and increase throughput. The SL-20APL from Haas Automation Inc. is a compact lathe with an integrated automatic parts loader that automatically picks up parts from an external tray and loads them into the lathe for untended turning or flips parts automatically for double-ended machining.

Long-Bed Lathes Provide Longer Turning Length
The SL-20L and SL-30L long-bed lathes from Haas Automation, provide longer turning lengths without jumping up to a much larger, and more expensive, machine. These machines offer double (SL-20L) or almost double (SL-30L) the turning length of the standard machines, while maintaining the same maximum turning diameter

Turning Center
The Haas ST-30 turning center offers castings that are optimized using finite element analysis to produce the most rigid designs, while improving chip and coolant flow and simplifying maintenance and service. The spindle head features a 45-degree wedge design that increases the tool-mounting envelope and improves chip flow.

Dual-Spindle Turning Centers Reduce Part Handling
The Haas TL-15 and TL-25 dual-spindle lathes from Haas Automation allow turning of double-ended parts in a single setup on one machine. Built on Haas's SL-20 and SL-30 platforms, the TL-15 and TL-25 CNC lathes feature a vector drive spindle, a hydraulic chucking system, an 8-hp subspindle with a 5. 3" chuck and a 12-station hybrid tool turret that holds a combination of six VDI 40 tools and six bolt-on tools.

Picking Up Speed
Getting there fast is often a sign of success. For this ski and boat enthusiast, it isn’t just the speed of the boat, but the growth of his shop that has heads, and parts, turning.

Toolroom Mill Can Do Production Machining
The Haas TM-3P toolroom mill is based on the Haas TM-3, but has many standard features that make it well suited for the production environment. It comes "out of box" with faster speeds, an automatic toolchanger and a full enclosure. The TM-3P's reliable 7.

Haas Toolroom Lathes – Operate Manual or CNC
The Haas Toolroom Lathe series offers versatility in turning diameters to 30" and lengths to 60". With a functional range from manual turning to full CNC, Haas Toolroom Lathes feature a proprietary conversational operating system that makes cutting parts and creating part programs nearly effortless. The operator chooses an operation, touches off the X and Z surfaces, and is then prompted to enter basic dimension information.

Haas Vertical Mold Machines Offer Speed and Versatility
Designed specifically for mold makers, the Haas VM Series are high-performance machines featuring a generous work cubes and tables, and a 12,000-rpm spindle powered by a 30-hp vector dual drive system. These mills are equipped with a high-speed control with full look-ahead, and the 40-taper spindle uses a unique inline, direct-drive system that couples the motor directly to the spindle rather than using belts (which are a major source of heat). The result is less vibration, less heat and less noise - which means excellent surface finishes, extreme thermal stability and quiet operation.

CNC Lathe Designed For The Office
The OL-1 office mill is small enough to fit through a 36" doorway and can be moved easily with a pallet jack or equipment dolly.
