Haas Expands Capacity of 50-Taper EC-1600 HMC

To accommodate larger volume machining, Haas Automation has extended the capacity of its EC-1600 horizontal machining centre by adding an additional 254 mm of Y-axis travel.

The latest generation Haas EC-1600 HMC features a generous 1,625 by 1,270 by 812 mm work cube, as well as a 1,625 by 812 mm T-slot table that can carry parts weighing up to 4.5 tonnes. A 30 hp, 610 Nm, 6000 rpm, geared-head, 50 taper spindle is fitted. The fully enclosed machine includes multiple chip augers to evacuate chips, and a flood coolant system with 95-gallon capacity.

A 30+1 side-mount toolchanger is standard, as well as a colour LCD remote jog handle, rigid tapping, 1 MB of program memory, a 15" colour LCD monitor, and a USB port.

For machining all four sides of a workpiece in a single set-up, an optional 5° indexing table is available, with a 762 mm platter diameter and 4.5 tonne weight capacity. A full 4th axis platter is also available for high speed contouring and fully interpolated motion.

For high-speed machining operations, an optional 10,000 rpm, 50-taper spindle (30 hp, geared-head) is available for the EC-1600.

Other high productivity options include high speed machining software with full look-ahead, high-pressure through-spindle coolant systems, a programmable coolant nozzle, linear scales, Haas Intuitive Probing System (tool and work offset), Ethernet connectivity, and more.
