Original Press Release:
High-Speed Mill Drill Center Pumps up the Volume
Time is money, and machine shops are always looking for ways to produce more parts in the same amount of time - or less. For high-volume production of small parts, where cycle times are short and part loading and unloading are frequent, reducing non-cutting time to a minimum is crucial to maintaining a favorable cost per part.
The new Mill Drill Center from Haas Automation, Inc., is a state-of-the-art machining center that provides high-speed drilling and tapping, as well as full milling capabilities, in an affordable package designed to pump up a shop's parts volume.
High speed was the key design criteria for this innovative new machine. It features dual fixture stations that allow the operator to load and unload parts on one fixture while the machine mills, drills and taps parts on the other. Once machining is complete, a servo-powered, gear-drive changer rotates the fixture stations in less than 1.5 seconds to maintain nearly constant spindle time.
The Haas Mill Drill Center provides a generous work cube of 12" x 10" x 12" (xyz) and features a 15,000-rpm 40-taper spindle. Powered by a 15-hp vector drive system, the spindle has plenty of torque for milling, as well as the speed necessary for high-speed machining operations. Ultra-fast ballscrews and high-torque servo motors on all axes provide rapids to 2,400 ipm and accelerations to 0.8 G to reduce cycle times, and an automatic tool changer stores up to 20 tools and changes tools in just 1.5 seconds.
To keep plenty of coolant available for any machining operation, the Haas Mill Drill Center features a 100-gallon coolant tank integrated into the base and a high-volume coolant pump. The user-friendly Haas CNC system provides seamless machine operation, and is easy to learn and operate.
High speed and power, combined with quick-change dual fixture stations, make the new Haas Mill Drill Center the perfect solution for high-volume production runs in the shortest amount of time.
