Small-Footprint, Big-Bore Turning Center



Haas Automation offers a complete line of big-bore turning centers for shops wanting more bar capacity without the space requirements of a larger-footprint lathe. According to the company, the ST-15 - a compact solution loaded with full-size features - is the newest and smallest addition to the company's big-bore line.

The ST-15 has a 2.5" bar capacity and is designed to provide a maximum cutting capacity of 14" x 14" with a swing of 16.25" over the cross slide. It is equipped with an 8.3" hydraulic 3-jaw chuck and a 12-station BOT turret. The ST-15's A2-6 spindle nose has a 3.5" bore and a 2.5" bar capacity. The machine's 20 HP vector dual-drive spindle turns to 4,000 RPM and provides 150 ft-lbs of torque. On-the-fly wye-delta switching yields a wide constant-horsepower band for constant surface feed cuts, and 1,200 IPM rapids and fast turret indexing reduce cycle times.

Standard equipment on the ST-15 includes rigid tapping, a 15" color LCD monitor and a USB port. Available high-productivity options include high-torque live tooling with C-axis, a belt-type chip conveyor, a tailstock with hydraulic quill, an automatic tool probe, an automatic parts catcher and high-pressure coolant systems.

"The ST-15 is extremely rigid, highly accurate and very thermally stable," said a company spokesperson. According to the company, all castings were optimized using finite element analysis (FEA) to produce the most rigid designs while improving chip and coolant flow and simplifying maintenance and service. The spindle head features a compact, symmetrical design for thermal stability and rigidity. The 45-degree wedge is designed to increase the tool-mounting envelope and improve chip flow.

A Y-axis version of the ST-15 is also available for shops wanting additional capability for secondary operations. The ST-15Y has the same footprint and specifications as the ST-15, with a maximum capacity of 12" x 14". The machine is equipped with a Y-axis that provides +/-2.00" of travel, and includes 6,000 RPM live tooling and a servo-driven C-axis. A 12-station hybrid VDI/BOT turret is standard.

Built in the USA by Haas, the ST-15 and ST-15Y are backed by the worldwide network of Haas Factory Outlets.
