The all-new EC-400 horizontal machining center (HMC) from Haas Automation, Inc., is designed to be faster, more rigid, has a larger work cube and offers more tool capacity than its predecessor. When equipped with the available integrated, 6-station pallet pool and 100+1 side-mount tool changer, the new EC-400 brings true lights-out machining capability to small- and medium-sized manufacturers and production shops.
Designed for high-volume production and unattended operation, the EC-400 features 22" x 25" x 22" (559 x 635 x 559 mm) travels, and comes equipped with a twin pallet changer with 400 mm pallets, full 4th-axis pallet indexing and an 8,100-RPM inline direct-drive spindle. Other standard features include a 30+1 tool side-mount tool changer, 1,400 IPM (35.6 m/min) rapids, 1 GB of program memory and built-in Ethernet and USB connectivity. To remove chips from the enclosure quickly and efficiently, the EC-400 has a high-volume coolant system and belt-type chip conveyor.
For added performance, optional high-speed spindles are available up to 15,000 RPM. The Haas-built spindles are powered by a 30 HP vector drive, and feature an inline, direct-drive system that couples the spindle directly to the motor to reduce heat, increase power transmission and provide enhanced surface finishes. For extended part runs and "lights out" operation, tool capacity can be expanded with optional 50+1 or 100+1 tool side-mount tool changers.
The EC-400's available 6-station pallet pool is suitable for high-volume production runs, or high-mix/low-volume machining. The pallets can be scheduled individually according to priority and sequencing requirements, allowing 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. The pallet pool can be ordered with the machine, or is available for field installation at a later time on machines equipped with a 50+1 or 100+1 side-mount tool changer.
"Like all new Haas machines, the EC-400 features the Haas Next Generation Control," said a company spokesperson. And, it is Industry 4.0-ready, with built-in Ethernet connectivity, available WiFi and standard HaasConnect mobile machine monitoring. It is built in the USA by Haas."
