2007 HAAS DT1 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2007 Haas DT1 is a 3-axis vertical machining center optimized for high-speed drilling and tapping operations in high-production environments. The DT1 is the higher-spindle-speed variant in Haas's Drill/Tap series, distinguished by its 15,000 RPM spindle capability that significantly reduces cycle times for small-diameter hole patterns in aluminum and non-ferrous materials. Axis travels measure 20 in. in X, 16 in. in Y, and 15.5 in. in Z. The 16 x 14 in. worktable provides a practical working envelope for fixture-mounted parts and offers multiple T-slots for flexible workholding. The spindle runs at up to 15,000 RPM via a CAT40 (or BT40) taper interface and is powered by a 7.5 HP motor — sufficient for the light chip loads typical of drill-and-tap work while enabling the high surface speeds required for fine finishing of aluminum components. The side-mount automatic tool changer ensures fast, linear tool changes with minimal motion overhead. Rigid tapping is standard, and the machine supports coolant-through-spindle delivery for extended tool life. Direct-drive ball screws on all axes provide low-maintenance, high-accuracy positioning. The Haas CNC handles machine operation, featuring conversational programming, G-code support, macro capability, and built-in diagnostics. With an approximate installed weight of 5,200 lbs, the DT1 offers a compact footprint while delivering the throughput and reliability demanded in dedicated drilling and tapping cells.
