Haas Automation, Inc. TM-3 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical CNC machining center is engineered for precision machining operations with a robust work table measuring 57.75 inches in length and 14.75 inches in width, capable of accommodating workpieces up to 1,000 pounds. The machine features a vertically-oriented #40 spindle taper with a maximum rotational speed of 4,000 RPM and a 7.50 horsepower rating (30-minute duty cycle), making it suitable for moderate to heavy-duty cutting applications. The three-axis configuration provides substantial travel distances of 40 inches in the X-axis, 20 inches in the Y-axis, and 16 inches in the Z-axis, all with coordinated maximum feed rates of 200 inches per minute and rapid traverse speeds of 200 inches per minute across all axes, enabling efficient material removal and rapid positioning. The machine incorporates an optional automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 10 tools, expandable to 20 tools for enhanced productivity, and features an exceptionally fast tool change time of 6.50 seconds, minimizing non-cutting cycle time. This configuration makes the machine particularly well-suited for job shops, tooling operations, and precision manufacturing facilities requiring versatile cutting capabilities combined with reliable repeatability for producing complex components across varied materials and part geometries.
