HAAS MDC-500 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a robust 3-axis design with X, Y, and Z travels of 20", 14", and 20" respectively, providing substantial machining volume. It is powered by a 20 horsepower spindle motor capable of reaching speeds up to 10,000 RPM, utilizing a CAT-40 taper for secure and precise tool holding. The machine includes a 24-station automatic tool changer (ATC), facilitating efficient tool swaps during complex machining operations. The worktable measures 20” in width and 12.75” in length, supporting a maximum load of 700 pounds, suitable for a variety of medium to large workpieces. Rapid traverse rates are 1,000 inches per minute on the X and Y axes and 833 inches per minute on the Z axis, enabling swift repositioning and high productivity. The machine’s approximate footprint is 143” x 105” x 113” (LxWxH), with a total weight of 14,000 pounds, reflecting a rigid and stable structure ideal for precision milling and high-speed machining applications. The CAT-40 spindle taper conforms to industry standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of tooling. Overall, this machine blends high power, precise axis travel, and efficient automation in a heavy-duty package suited for demanding manufacturing environments.
