Pallet Pool Productivity

"The EC-400PP HMC from Haas Automation Inc., with its fully integrated, six-station pallet pool, brings true 'lights out' machining capability to small- and medium-sized manufacturers and production shops," said a company spokesperson.

Designed for high-volume production and unattended operation, the Haas EC-400PP features a 20" x 20" x 20" work cube, six-station pallet pool with 400 mm pallets, 8,000 RPM spindle and 1-degree pallet indexing. Other standard features for extended operation include a 70+1 tool side-mount tool changer, 1,000 IPM rapids, 300 PSI through-spindle coolant, 1 MB of program memory, USB connectivity, a remote jog handle and a high-volume coolant system. To remove chips from the enclosure quickly and efficiently, the EC-400PP also has an auger-fed, belt-type chip conveyor system.

Each of the 400 mm pallets in the EC-400PP's six-station pool has a load capacity up to 1,000 lbs. (660 lbs. with optional full 4th axis). The pallets can be scheduled individually according to priority and sequencing requirements, which allow high-priority parts to be machined first or staged more often. Completed pallets are returned automatically to the holding location, or can be sequenced to a protected operator station for immediate unloading and re-loading.

For added performance, an optional 12,000 RPM spindle powered by a 30 HP vector system is available for the EC-400PP. Like the standard spindle, it features an inline, direct-drive system that couples the spindle directly to the motor to reduce heat, increase power transmission and provide improved surface finishes. A full 4th-axis rotary system is available for shops requiring simultaneous 4-axis motion.

"The EC-400PP has the power to easily cut stainless steel, cast iron and high-nickel alloys, while providing the speed essential for aluminum alloys. The inherent benefits of horizontal spindle orientation, including cleaner cutting conditions and extended tool life, enhance the machine's capabilities," said the spokesperson.
