HAAS AUTOMATION, INC. EC-400 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Haas EC-400 is a 4-axis horizontal machining center engineered for high-volume production and precision manufacturing. This machine features a horizontal spindle with CAT 40 taper, capable of reaching 8,100 RPM with 30 HP continuous power delivery, making it suitable for demanding cutting operations across aerospace, automotive, and medical applications. The working envelope encompasses 22" X-axis travel, 25" Y-axis travel, and 22" Z-axis travel, with rapid traverse rates of 1,400 IPM across all axes, enabling efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. The EC-400 incorporates a standard dual-pallet changer system with 15.75" square pallets, facilitating unattended operation and lights-out machining capabilities. Its side-mount tool changer accommodates 30 tools with standard indexing, with optional configurations extending to 50 or 100 tool stations for extended production runs. Full 4th-axis indexing capability provides rotational flexibility for complex multi-sided component machining. The machine integrates Haas CNC control with optional Wireless Intuitive Probing System (WIPS) for automated setup and in-process inspection, significantly reducing setup times and improving accuracy. Maximum pallet load capacity reaches 1,000 lbs, supporting substantial workpieces. Built-in pallet changer with 400mm pallets and 6-station pallet pool options enable true unattended operation. This rugged, American-made platform delivers compact footprint with exceptional rigidity, making it an excellent choice for shops requiring reliable, high-precision horizontal machining for production-intensive environments.
