Haas Automation, Inc. MINI MILL 2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 40.0" x 14.0" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 500 lbs, providing a stable platform for precision machining. The vertical spindle is equipped with a CT/40 taper, with an optional BT/40 taper, and delivers 7.5 HP (30-minute rating) at a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM, ensuring efficient material removal and versatility for a wide range of applications. Tooling is managed by a 10-station carousel automatic tool changer (ATC), offering rapid tool change times of 3.6 seconds and chip-to-chip times of 5.0 seconds, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) with travel distances of 22.0", 16.0", and 14.0" respectively, and supports maximum feed rates of 500 IPM and rapid traverse speeds of 600 IPM on all axes, enabling fast and accurate positioning. The design emphasizes rigidity and precision, with hardened and ground ways for enhanced durability and accuracy. The absence of a U axis and pallet changer focuses the machine on straightforward, high-efficiency milling tasks. This configuration is ideal for shops requiring reliable, high-performance vertical milling with quick tool changes and robust workpiece support, suitable for a variety of industries including automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing.
