1999 HAAS DM2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 1999 Haas DM2 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Haas's Drill/Mill series, offering extended X-axis travel over the DM1 for production drilling, tapping, and light milling of longer workpieces. Built on a rigid thermally stabilized cast-iron base, the DM2 delivers reliable positional accuracy during continuous production cycles. Axis travels measure 30 in. in X, 16 in. in Y, and 15.5 in. in Z, providing ample capacity for a broad range of part sizes. The 24 x 14 in. worktable is equipped with multiple T-slots and supports standard fixturing and pallet systems. The spindle is driven by a 15 HP vector drive motor and reaches a maximum speed of 10,000 RPM on a CAT40 taper, making it effective for high-speed operations in aluminum, steel, and engineering plastics. The DM2 features a side-mount automatic tool changer for rapid, uninterrupted tool changes, and supports coolant-through-spindle delivery and rigid tapping as standard capabilities. Direct-drive ball screws on all axes minimize backlash and contribute to consistent surface finish across long runs. Machine control is provided by the Haas CNC, which offers a color display, conversational programming, G-code support, macro programming, and integrated diagnostics. Haas's broad domestic and international service network ensures low downtime and easy parts availability. The DM2 weighs approximately 6,200 lbs installed, and its footprint is suitable for shops requiring greater X-axis reach without sacrificing floor space efficiency.
