The high-productivity features of the Haas EC-500 horizontal machining center include a 32" x 20" x 28" (813 x 508 x 711 mm) work cube, dual 500 mm pallets, 1-degree indexing, a 95-gallon (360 liter) coolant system and triple-auger chip removal. The standard 8000-rpm, 40-taper spindle is powered by the Haas 20 hp (14.9 kW) vector drive system; an optional 30 hp (22.4 kW) 12K spindle is also available. Both spindles feature an inline, direct-drive system that couples the motor directly to the spindle. This results in less vibration, heat and noise -- which means superior surface finishes, excellent thermal stability and quieter operation.

A 40+1 side-mount tool changer and 500 ipm (12.7 m/min) cutting feeds are also standard. The Haas control features advanced tool management, single-button features, 15" color LCD monitor and a USB port.

The servo-driven pallet changer on the EC-500 swaps pallets in just 9 seconds, and each 500 mm pallet has a load capacity of 1,000 lb. A separate load station allows the operator to safely load/unload parts or change fixtures on one pallet while parts are being machined on the other, keeping spindle run time at a maximum. A full 4th-axis rotary table is also available for shops requiring simultaneous 4-axis motion, and a 5th axis can be added for complex work.
