1,500 Enthusiastic Professionals Visit HaasTEC 2014
The fourth edition of the increasingly popular HaasTEC Open House took place on 16th-19th January to widespread acclaim from the event’s 1,500 attendees. Staged in Navi Mumbai, a rapidly expanding township in western India, visitors came from across the vast state of Maharashtra.
The new HFO facility at Navi Mumbai provided the venue for HaasTEC 2014, where visitors found a wide selection of Haas technology on display, including many innovative yet affordable CNC machines. These included the dual spindle DS-30Y turning centre with Y-axis, and the ever popular DT-1 Drill Tap machine. All the Haas machines on display were under power, underlining the event’s theme ‘Innovative Demos’: Haas machines cutting parts you haven’t seen before.
Terrence Miranda, Managing Director, Haas India, “The enthusiastic response and widespread participation of our customers and global partners in the recently concluded HaasTEC show highlights the usefulness and importance of these events in India. They provide a platform to comprehensively showcase the latest trends in CNC machine tools, tooling, CADCAM, measurement and workholding solutions.”
As with previous HaasTECs, a number of Haas Automation India’s industry partners, some 14 in total, supported the event. Among their number was Renishaw, a leading global specialist in metrology.
“We feel immensely satisfied having participated at the HaasTEC in Navi Mumbai,” says Renishaw’s Shreyansh Hippargi. “All the Haas team put in a lot of effort to ensure that customers and partners were at ease. Congratulations to the entire Haas team and we wish them the best of luck for future HaasTEC events!”
Nitin Wakode at Mastercam was equally complimentary: “Technology is a great tool but the people who support it make a difference…Haas have both. HaasTEC was a great show in all aspects.”
