Haas Modular Mini Mill provides economic small parts machining

The Haas Modular Mini Mill has been designed to provide an economic solution for small-parts machining at start-up businesses, those needing a ‘second-op’ machine, or manufacturers looking to release existing machine capacity.

Offering a capacity of 406 by 305 by 254 mm in the X, Y and Z axes, and a 10-tool ATC as standard, the 40-taper machine resides in a footprint of 2 m2.

Optional modules can be added for extra flexibility. For example: the coolant module is designed to prolong tool life, aid swarf clearance and achieve better finishes; the production module features a faster spindle and increased rapids; the high-productivity software module adds macros, spindle orientation, Wi-Fi, rigid tapping, visual programming, co-ordinate rotation and scaling; and the four-axis module runs a rotary table or indexer.

A 5.6 kW direct-drive spindle provides standard speeds to 4,000 rpm (with 6,000 and 10,000 rpm options). Cutting feed rates are up to 6.35 m/min (12.7 m/min option), with rapids of 7.6 m/min (15.2 m/min option).
