2021 HAAS DT2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2021 Haas DT2 is a 3-axis vertical machining center from Haas's Drill/Tap series, offering extended X-axis travel compared to the DT1 for high-speed drilling and tapping of longer workpieces. Built on a rigid thermally stable cast-iron base, the DT2 is designed for high-production environments where fast hole-making cycle times are critical. Axis travels measure 30 in. in X, 16 in. in Y, and 15.5 in. in Z, providing an expanded working envelope for longer parts and multi-fixture setups. The 24 x 14 in. worktable features multiple T-slots to accommodate diverse fixturing configurations. The spindle reaches a maximum speed of 15,000 RPM on a CAT40 taper and is powered by a 7.5 HP motor — optimized for the light chip loads of drill-and-tap operations in aluminum and non-ferrous alloys. The side-mount automatic tool changer provides rapid, linear tool changes that minimize non-cutting time. Rigid tapping is standard, enabling synchronized tapping cycles without the need for floating tap holders. Coolant-through-spindle capability extends tool life on deep-hole drilling applications. Direct-drive ball screws on all axes deliver low-maintenance, high-accuracy positioning throughout the machine's service life. Machine control is handled by the Haas NGC (Next Generation Control), offering conversational programming, full G-code support, macro capability, and integrated diagnostics. With an approximate installed weight of 6,000 lbs, the DT2 provides the structural rigidity needed for consistent production output while fitting within a compact floor footprint.
