Haas Automation, Inc. TM-2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a worktable measuring 57.75" x 10.5" with a maximum workpiece capacity of 1,000 lbs. It employs a vertical spindle with a #40 taper, delivering up to 4,000 RPM and powered by a 7 HP motor rated for 30 minutes. The machine supports 3 axes of motion (X, Y, Z) with travels of 40", 16", and 16" respectively, each capable of maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds of 200 inches per minute. An optional 4th axis and rotary table support are also available, allowing for enhanced multi-axis machining capabilities. Tooling options include an automatic tool changer (ATC) with standard capacity for 10 tools and an optional upgrade to 20 tools. Tool change times are 5.7 seconds for tool swaps and 6.5 seconds for chip-to-chip switching. Notably, the machine does not include a pallet changer or U axis. This configuration balances moderate spindle speed and power for versatile vertical milling applications, especially suited for medium-sized parts requiring robust workpiece support and efficient tool changing. The linear travel design and spindle power enable precise and stable machining, with optional tooling and rotary accessories supporting expanded productivity and complexity. Overall, this vertical machining center is designed for flexible manufacturing environments that demand reliable spindle operation, moderate feed rates, and a compact footprint for handling workpieces up to 1,000 lbs efficiently.
