HIGHER ACCELERATION BETTER SURFACE FINISH FOR HIGH VOLUME PRODUCTION
To ensure smooth, precise motion control, Haas Automation (Oxnard, CA) VMCs use next-generation digital servomotors and high-resolution encoders on all axes. Combined with significant software and motor-control advancements on the new machines, these yield higher accelerations and better surface-finish performance than ever before.
With an eye toward preventing chip and coolant egress during machining, Haas optimized the enclosures on the new VMCs, paying close attention to panel fit, service access, and internal routing of plumbing and cables. The result is a far better enclosure and a much simpler overall design that thoroughly contains chips and coolant, while increasing reliability and simplifying service.
Haas redesigned the chip pans and reviewed coolant flow in the new VMCs to reduce chip buildup and efficiently flush chips into the auger trough for removal.
Haas engineers reevaluated the machines to make everything the operator touches work even better. For example, the machines' windows and doors are now stiffer, move more smoothly, and close tightly. The new Haas thin-design control pendant mounts directly to the enclosure, providing a lighter, more stable operator interface than the previous version, and there's a convenient storage compartment behind the pendant.
