2016 HAAS TM2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2016 Haas TM2 is a 3-axis vertical machining center offering a larger work envelope than the TM1, designed for toolroom operations and light production work requiring additional table real estate. It provides 30" x 16" x 16" (X/Y/Z) of travel and a 32" x 16" T-slot worktable, accommodating longer or wider workpieces that exceed the TM1's capacity. The inline direct-drive spindle delivers 7.5 HP continuous at a maximum of 7,500 RPM with CAT40 toolholder compatibility. This spindle configuration covers aluminum, mild and stainless steel, cast iron, and engineering polymers across milling, drilling, boring, and rigid tapping operations. Feed rates and rapid traverse are well-matched to the machine's toolroom positioning. The Haas CNC control supports conversational and G-code programming, maintains a built-in tool offset library, includes macro programming capability, and provides USB connectivity for program transfer. The operator interface is identical in layout and logic to other Haas toolroom mills, making it straightforward for operators already trained on TM1 or TM3 units to transition without retraining. The machine footprint is approximately 76" long by 68" wide, requiring modest floor space relative to its work envelope. Machine weight is approximately 4,200 lbs. The 2016 Haas TM2 represents a practical step up in capacity over the TM1 while maintaining the simplicity, low operating cost, and compact design that characterize the Haas toolroom mill series.
