Haas Automation, Inc. TM-1 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a large 47.5" × 10.5" work table designed to accommodate workpieces up to 1,000 lbs, making it suitable for mid-sized production runs and toolroom operations. The machine incorporates a vertical #40 taper spindle with a maximum speed of 4,000 RPM and 7.5 HP (30-minute rating), providing adequate power for general milling, drilling, tapping, and boring applications across various materials. The three-axis configuration delivers substantial travel capabilities: 30" on the X-axis, 12" on the Y-axis, and 16" on the Z-axis, enabling machining of complex geometries with precision. All axes maintain consistent maximum feed rates of 200 mm/min and rapid traverse speeds of 200 ipm, ensuring efficient material removal and reduced cycle times. The machine supports an optional 10-position automatic tool changer with rapid 5.7-second tool change times (6.5 seconds chip-to-chip), enhancing production efficiency by minimizing downtime. The positioning accuracy of ±0.0075" and repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.005" deliver the precision required for quality-oriented manufacturing in aerospace, automotive, and tool and mold-making industries. This versatile machining center bridges the gap between manual and fully automated production environments, offering adaptability for both toolroom operations and production runs while maintaining dimensional consistency across batch manufacturing.
