Original Press Release:
Haas Expands Toolroom Mill Line
Haas has expanded its line of toolroom products with the new TM-2 Toolroom Mill, a versatile machine that combines the functionality and simplicity of a manual mill with the power and flexibility of the Haas CNC control, making it the perfect machine for toolrooms and shops transitioning to CNC. The TM-2 provides all the advantages of the original Haas TM-1 Toolroom Mill, plus larger travels - all for a base price less than $26,000 (US). And Haas' new Intuitive Milling System software makes the TM-2 extremely easy to set up and operate - without knowledge of G-code programming. The TM-2 has generous travels of 40" x 16" x 16" (xyz), which provide plenty of room for machining larger workpieces. The large table accommodates multiple vises and/or chucks, as well as 5C indexers and small rotary tables. The non-enclosed format and standard T-slots simplify clamping of oversized and odd-shaped parts. All axes feature brushless servo motors for precise positioning, and a one-piece cast-iron base/column damps vibration and provides rigidity for heavy cuts. The machine runs on either single- or three-phase power. The TM-2 features a 7.5-hp (peak) vector drive spindle that uses standard 40-taper tooling and spins to 4,000 rpm. A push-button tool-release system makes tool changes fast and easy, and either a 10-pocket or 20-pocket tool changer can be added for automatic operation. Haas' new Intuitive Milling System - a proprietary conversational operating system - makes cutting parts and creating part programs nearly effortless. Through an interactive graphical environment - using full-color graphics on a liquid crystal display (LCD) - the control guides the operator through the steps necessary to machine a part. Operations such as setting tool and work offsets; drilling and tapping cycles; circular and rectangular pocket milling; and engraving are easily accomplished - without knowledge of G-code programming. The operator simply selects the desired machining operation to perform, and then enters basic machining information - tool type, coordinates, feedrate, spindle speed, depth of cut, etc - as prompted. Once all information is entered, the machine performs the desired operation with a simple push of the Cycle Start button. A Recorder function allows multiple operations to be saved, so that the part can be duplicated. For extreme flexibility, the TM-2 operates in three modes: manual, combined manual/CNC and full CNC. Additionally, a wide assortment of options are available, including a coolant system, a 10- or 20-pocket automatic tool changer, 4th-axis drive, chip pan extensions, a full table chip and coolant guard, and a hard-disk drive with Ethernet interface, among others.
