SIX STATION PALLET POOL ON HMC OFFERS LIGHTS OUT CAPABILITY

Haas Automation Inc. offers the EC-630PP HMC, which dramatically expands the production capability of the company's EC Series of horizontal machining centers. The addition of a fully integrated, 6-station pallet pool to the shop-proven Haas EC-630 brings true "lights out" machining capability to small- and medium-sized manufacturers and production shops.

Designed for high-volume production and unattended operation, the Haas EC-630PP features a generous 40 in x 33 in x 35 in work envelope, a 50-taper geared-head spindle, a six-station pallet pool with 630 mm pallets, and a high-precision, 1-degree pallet indexer. For long-cycle production with minimal non-cutting, the EC-630 is equipped with 72-pocket side-mount tool changer, a large-volume coolant tank and a high-capacity belt conveyor for efficient chip removal.

Also standard are 710-ipm rapids, a 15 in color LCD monitor with USB port, 1 MB of program memory, a flood and washdown coolant system and a programmable coolant nozzle. Each of the 630 mm pallets in the EC-630PP's 6-station pool has a load capacity up to 2640 lb. The pallets can be scheduled individually according to priority and sequencing requirements, which allows high-priority parts to be machined first and/or staged more often. Completed pallets are returned automatically to the holding location, or can be sequenced to a protected operator station for immediate unloading and re-loading. The machine's enclosure accommodates parts up to 39.4 in in both diameter and height.
