New ST-20SSY Compact Y-Axis Super Speed Lathes from Haas Automation

The ability to turn and mill complex parts and perform multiple operations on one machine increases throughput, reduces handling, and improves accuracy.

The Haas ST-20 Series Y-axis turning centres provide 101 mm of Y-axis travel (50,8 mm from the centreline) for off-centre milling,drilling, and tapping, and come standard with high-torque live tooling and a servo-driven C axis, for versatile 4-axis capability. The machines are available in standard and Super Speed configurations. The standard ST-20Y has a maximum cutting capacity of 304 x 520 mm, and is equipped with a 12-station hybrid BOT/VDI turret. The A2-6 spindle turns to 4000 rpm, and features an 8.3" hydraulic chuck and a 2.0" bar capacity. A 20 hp vector drive system yields 203 Nm of torque at 700 rpm. Rapids are 24.0 m/min on the X and Z axes, and 18.03 m/min on the Y axis. The Super Speed ST-20SSY has a maximum cutting capacity of 254 x 520 mm, and is equipped with a 24-station hybrid BOT/VDI turret. The A2-6 spindle turns to 5000 rpm, and features an 8.3" hydraulic chuck and a 2.0" bar capacity. A 30 hp vector drive system yields 155 Nm of torque at 1380 rpm. Rapids are 24.0 m/min on the X axis, 30.5 m/min on the Z axis, and 18.0 m/min on the Y axis. Both machines provide a maximum swing of 806 mm over the front apron, with a 527 mm swing over the cross slide. Standard equipment includes high-torque live tooling with C axis, rigid tapping, spindle orientation, a 15" colour LCD monitor, and a USB port. Available high-productivity options include a belt-type chip conveyor, automatic tool probe, automatic parts catcher, high-pressure coolant systems, and more.
