Haas EC-400-1DEG HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2006 Haas EC-400-1DEG horizontal machining center is a high-performance CNC machine engineered for precision and productivity in demanding manufacturing environments. It features a **CAT 40 spindle** with a maximum speed of **12,000 rpm**, driven by a powerful 30 HP inline direct-drive motor, providing excellent torque and speed control for a wide range of cutting applications. The machine incorporates a **B-axis indexing system** with a fine angular resolution of **1°**, enabling precise, multi-axis machining capabilities essential for complex part geometries. Its substantial work envelope measures approximately 559 x 635 x 559 mm (22" x 25" x 22"), allowing machining of large components. Equipped with a **dual pallet changer** that accommodates 400 x 400 mm pallets, productivity is optimized by simultaneous loading and machining processes, reducing downtime. The standard tool changer offers a 24+1 side-mount capacity, with optional expansions to 30+1 or higher, supporting extended production runs with minimal intervention. The machine features rigid tapping, high-speed feed rates up to 25.4 m/min rapid traverse, and robust construction to support heavy-duty applications. Additional capabilities include an optional full 4th-axis rotary system for enhanced flexibility and precision, through-spindle coolant, and a belt-type chip conveyor for effective chip management. The control system includes an intuitive programming interface and is compatible with the Haas Wireless Intuitive Probing System (WIPS), facilitating quick setup and in-process inspection. The EC-400-1DEG is designed for high-volume, lights-out manufacturing with durability, accuracy, and operational efficiency at the forefront.
