Haas Multigrind now offers a high-capacity shelf magazine.
On the Multigrind CB grinding machine, the Haas shelf magazine (2,000 x 2,400 x 3,200 mm, L x W x H) offers space for 65 grinding wheels of up to 300 mm diameter. On the Multigrind CA grinding machine, the shelf magazine can be equipped with up to 70 grinding wheels of up to 250 mm diameter. The magazine can also hold up to 20 coolant nozzles.
The high capacity magazine enables customers to add more operations on a single part and to reduce changeover time between different parts by loading wheels and tools for multiple part numbers in the magazine.
The Haas Horizon programming system maintains locations, dimensions and life information of all wheels and tools in the magazine in addition to programming the machine's grinding and automation functions.
"Even with much more wheel capacity, tool change time on the new shelf magazine is only 10 seconds," said Dirk Wember, Haas Multigrind's President. "We are not aware of any other tool magazine that offers as much space and flexibility."
