HAAS AUTOMATION, INC. EC-1600ZT-5AX HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Haas Automation EC-1600ZT-5AX Horizontal Machining Center is a robust machine designed for heavy-duty horizontal machining applications. It features a large table measuring 64" by 32", capable of supporting workpieces up to 10,000 lbs, ensuring it can handle large and heavy components. The spindle is oriented horizontally with a CT 50 taper (optionally BT 50), delivering up to 7,500 RPM and 30 HP (30-minute rating), suitable for high-power cutting tasks. The machine uses a 30-tool SMTC (Self-Loading Magazine Tool Changer) with a tool change time of 6.3 seconds and chip-to-chip time of 4.2 seconds, supporting efficient tool handling and reduced downtime. The machining center operates primarily on three axes (X, Y, Z) with travel distances of 64" (X), 50" (Y), and 40" (Z), and a rapid traverse rate of 600 inches per minute, supporting fast and precise positioning. An optional fourth axis (rotary) is available, though the U axis is not included. The machine does not feature a pallet changer or indexed support table but can be optionally equipped with a rotary table for added flexibility in complex part machining. This configuration makes the EC-1600ZT-5AX well suited for large, complex machining tasks requiring rigidity, power, and moderate speeds with a strong emphasis on handling very heavy workpieces efficiently.
