Drill and tap machine

The new DT-1 from Haas Automation is a compact, high-speed drill and tap machine with full milling capabilities.

The machine features a 508 by 406 by 394 mm work cube and 660 by 381 mm T-slot table, while maintaining a very small footprint. A 15 hp, BT 30 taper spindle spins to 15,000 rpm, and allows tapping at speeds to 5,000 rpm. The DT-1 is equipped with a high speed, 20-pocket, servo-driven tool changer that swaps tools in 0.8 seconds. High speed, 61 m/min rapids combine with 1 G acceleration rates to shorten cycle times and reduce non-cutting time. Maximum cutting feedrate is 30.5 m/min. For efficient chip removal, the DT-1 features steeply sloped internal sheet metal. Optional twin chip augers transport chips to exit at the rear of the machine. A 45 gallon flood coolant system is standard, with options for a programmable coolant nozzle and high-pressure through-spindle coolant systems.
