Haas Automation, Inc. DT-1 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a BT30 spindle with a maximum speed of 20,000 RPM and 15 horsepower, designed for precision small-parts production. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 250 pounds on its 26" × 15" work table. It incorporates a three-axis CNC system with impressive rapid traverse rates of 2,400 inches per minute across all axes, delivering maximum feed rates of 1,200 ipm for efficient material removal. The side-mount tool changer (SMTC) provides rapid tool exchanges in 1.6 seconds with standard capacity for 20 tools, expandable to 21 for enhanced productivity. Travel distances of 20" in X, 16" in Y, and 15.5" in Z enable comprehensive workpiece positioning. The machine's compact footprint and high-speed capabilities make it ideal for drilling, tapping, and light milling operations on aluminum and other precision components. Key components including spindle bearings, lead screws, and linear guides utilize precision parts from international suppliers, ensuring rigidity and accuracy. The modular configuration allows customization to meet diverse processing requirements. An optional 10,000 RPM spindle specification provides enhanced torque for heavier cutting applications. The rapid tool-change capability and simultaneous multi-axis motion significantly reduce cycle times, improving overall shop productivity for short-run and production work.
