2013 HAAS UMC1500SS DUO VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2013 Haas UMC1500SS DUO is a 5-axis dual-pallet universal machining center engineered for high-throughput 5-sided and simultaneous 5-axis production. The DUO designation indicates an integrated dual-pallet changer that allows one pallet to be loaded and set up while the machine continues cutting on the other, dramatically reducing non-cut time in production environments. Axis travels measure 59" in X, 40" in Y, and 32" in Z, accommodating large and complex workpieces across a wide range of aerospace, energy, and industrial manufacturing applications. The trunnion-style rotary/tilt table provides full A- and C-axis motion for simultaneous 5-axis contouring. The Super Speed spindle is rated at 30 HP continuous and reaches a maximum speed of 15,000 RPM via a direct-drive configuration on a CAT40 taper, suited to high-speed finishing of aluminum and light alloy components alongside the structural cutting of steel and titanium. The machine is controlled by the Haas CNC control system with an intuitive operator interface, conversational programming support, and a built-in ethernet connection for DNC and network integration. Standard features include a high-capacity side-mount tool changer, rigid tapping, high-speed machining modes, and a full coolant system. The dual-pallet configuration and 5-axis capability make this machine particularly well-suited to contract shops and OEM facilities running complex part families at volume. Machine weight is approximately 55,000 lbs, reflecting the heavily ribbed, cast-iron construction that provides the structural rigidity necessary for precision 5-axis work at high feed rates.
