Haas Introduces New Generation Vertical Machining Centers for 2010

     

 

      Haas has redesigned its entire VF product line to incorporate a wide range of enhancements, the company said. "Haas engineers reviewed all aspects of the machines, including motion control, coolant containment, chip evacuation, ergonomics and serviceability, made improvements and put everything into an all-new package," said a Haas spokesperson.

 

      "To ensure smooth, precise motion control, the 2010 Haas VMCs use next-generation digital servomotors and high-resolution encoders on all axes," the spokesperson said. "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 invested considerable effort up front to optimize 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.

 

      "People buy CNC machines to make parts, so the last thing they want is stop to production to remove chips. 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. For high-volume production applications, the 2010 Haas VF-1 through VF-6 VMCs are available with optional chip removal systems that combine multiple side augers with either a front discharge auger or a belt-type conveyor to move chips out of the machines faster and easier than ever.

 

      "For 2010, 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 but more stable operator interface than the previous version. And there's a convenient storage compartment behind the pendant.
