5-Axis Gantry Mill for Large Components



Many industries today, such as aerospace and automotive design, are turning to 5-axis machining to speed manufacturing processes and increase accuracy. The ability to machine complex shapes, undercuts and difficult angles in a single set-up reduces tooling costs and labor time, resulting in a better cost per part.

The Haas GM-2-5AX is a 5-axis gantry mill designed for complex, large-part machining, such as airframe components, layup molds and composite structures. The machine's dual-axis spindle head provides ±245° of C-axis rotation and ±120° of B-axis tilt for complex surfacing, or to access nearly any angle on a part. Travels are 145" x 87.5" x 39.4" (3,683 mm x 2,223 mm x 1,000 mm), with 75" (1,905 mm) between columns, and the machine comes standard with a 144" x 72" (3,658 mm x 1,829 mm) aluminum table. The GM-2-5AX's 20,000 RPM HSK 63F spindle features a 13.4 HP (10 kW) integral spindle/motor drive and a 30+1 tool side-mount tool changer is standard.

To simplify 5-axis set-ups, the GM-2-5AX comes equipped with Haas Automation's Dynamic Work Offsets and Tool Center Point Control software. High-productivity options include the Haas Wireless Intuitive Probing System, a complete coolant system, dual chip augers and more.

For shops not requiring the flexibility of a dual-axis spindle head, Haas offers a 3-axis version of the GM-2. The 3-axis GM-2 provides the same X and Y axis travels as the 5AX, but with 22" (559 mm) of Z-axis travel, providing more rigidity for heavy machining. The GM-2 features a robust 40-taper inline direct-drive spindle that spins to 8,100 RPM, and is powered by a 30 HP (22.4 kW) vector drive system. Optional 10,000 RPM and 15,000 RPM spindles are available for higher surface feeds and small tools. A 30+1 side-mount tool changer also is standard.

The GM-2 is available with a wide selection of options to boost productivity even further, such as high-pressure through-spindle coolant, dual-chip augers, the Haas Wireless Intuitive Probing System, a programmable coolant nozzle and more.

The GM-2 and GM-2-5AX feature the Haas Next Generation Control, designed to be faster, smarter and better than ever. They are Industry 4.0-ready, with built-in Ethernet connectivity, available WiFi and standard HaasConnect mobile machine monitoring.
