Haas EC-2000 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Haas EC-2000 is a robust 4-axis horizontal machining center designed for high-speed production work and complex multi-sided part machining. This discontinued model features a 96" x 36" pallet with an 84" X-axis, 40" Y-axis, and 32" Z-axis travel, providing substantial workspace for large components. The machine is equipped with a 30 horsepower spindle motor capable of reaching 6,000 RPM, delivering 22.4 kW of cutting power for demanding applications. The integrated 30-inch diameter rotary table functions as a full 4th axis, enabling true 4-axis simultaneous machining and allowing 360-degree part indexing for complete side-to-face machining without manual repositioning. This built-in rotary table eliminates the need for external fixtures, streamlining workflow and reducing setup time. The machine accommodates a maximum part weight of 4,537 kilograms on the pallet, making it suitable for heavy-duty aerospace, automotive, and industrial component production. The 30-position automatic tool changer provides rapid tool access with CAT 50 spindle taper compatibility, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing cycle times. High-pressure coolant delivery through the spindle ensures optimal chip evacuation and tool life during aggressive cutting operations. The chip auger system further manages swarf removal automatically, minimizing manual maintenance during production runs. Combined with its integrated 4th axis capability and high-speed spindle performance, the EC-2000 delivers exceptional versatility for applications requiring complex geometries and multiple surface machining in a single setup, making it an economical choice for manufacturing operations seeking used horizontal machining capacity.
