High speed machining centre ups production
A
Haas Automation product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
May 26, 2006
A high-production machining centre provides high-speed drilling and tapping, as well as full milling capabilities, in an affordable, compact package designed to increase a shop's parts volume.
The new MDC-500 High-Production Centre from Haas Automation is a state-of-the-art machining centre that provides high-speed drilling and tapping, as well as full milling capabilities, in an affordable, compact package designed to significantly raise a machine shop's parts volume.
Speed and flexibility were the key design criteria for this innovative new machine.
It features dual 508 x 324mm 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 indexer swaps the fixture stations in 4.7s.
The MDC-500 provides a generous work cube of 508 x 356 x 508mm (X,Y and Z) and features a 7500 rev/min (10,000 and 15,000 rev/min optional) 40-taper spindle.
Powered by a 20HP vector drive system, the spindle has plenty of torque for milling, as well as the speed necessary for high-speed machining operations.
High-pitch ballscrews and high-torque servos on all axes provide rapids to 25.4m/min reduce cycle times, and a side-mount tool changer (24+1 tools) swaps tools in just 2.2s.
To keep plenty of coolant available for any machining operation, the MDC-500 features a 40-gallon coolant tank and a high-volume coolant pump.
The user-friendly Haas CNC system provides seamless machine operation, and is easy to learn and operate.
Speed and power, combined with quick-change dual fixture stations, make the Haas MDC-500 Mill Drill Centre the perfect solution for high-volume production runs in the shortest amount of time.
MACH 2006 witnessed several brand new machines from Haas Automation, the largest CNC machine tool manufacturer in the world.
Haas demonstrated machines and metal cutting technology for aerospace, automotive, medical, mould and die and general machining industries.
More than 25 CNC technology products were on show demonstrating vertical and horizontal machining and turning applications.
