Universal machining centre from Haas eases stress
Investing in a CNC machine tool shouldn’t require nerves of steel, but, for owners of small to medium-sized machine shops with a need for high-productivity five-axis machining, that’s exactly what used to be the case, says Haas Automation. High purchase cost and complexity were usually enough to deter buyers, but the company believes its UMC-750 universal machining centre (UMC), for three-plus-two and simultaneous five-axis machining will ease the choice. The machine will be the highlight of the firm’s presence at Northern Manufacturing 2016
Flexible, five-axis machining offers reduced set-up times and increased accuracy for multi-sided and complex parts.
The UMC was designed and built based on what users said they need in a universal machine, revealed Haas Automation managing director, Nick Remington. “It is a high-performance CNC machine tool for a fraction of the usual cost associated with machines of such significant capability and high quality,” he said.
