Haas Factory Outlet to organise Rajkot Demo Day on 22nd – 25th April
Visitors to the Haas Factory Outlet – A division of CNCSSIPL, Rajkot Demo Day, scheduled for April 22nd, 23rd and 24th (10:00-18:00), at the Rajkot NSIC Technical Services Centre will have the opportunity to see live cutting demonstrations on a number of the company’s best-selling CNC machine tools, including: a Haas ST-10Y CNC turning centre with Y-axis; a Haas VF-2 CNC vertical machining centre; a DT-1 drill/tap centre; and a ST-35 Big Bore Heavy Duty CNC Turning Center.
Rajkot is a leading industrial area in India, and is well known for engineering products such as bearings, diesel engines and automotive parts, as well as forgings and castings. Over 1000 visitors from this extensive industry pool are expected to attend the event over the three days. A fourth day, April 25th, is also scheduled specifically for student visitors.
The Haas ST-10Y is a latest generation, high productivity machine from the Haas ST range of completely redesigned CNC turning centres. Equipped with C-axis and live tooling, customers can turn and mill complex parts in one set-up. The machine is equipped with a 12-station BOT turret that indexes tools in 0.5 seconds, helping to reduce cycle times. Maximum cutting capacity is 228 x 355 mm, while the Y-axis boasts 101 mm of travel (±50.8 mm from the centerline) for off-centre milling, drilling, and tapping. The ST-10Y’s A2-5 spindle nose has a 58 mm spindle bore and a bar capacity of 44 mm, while also featuring a 165 mm hydraulic three-jaw chuck. The machine’s 11.2 kW vector dual-drive spindle turns to 6000 rpm, and provides 101 Nm of torque at 1300 rpm. From the same range, a larger Haas ST-35 CNC turning centre will also be performing live cutting demonstrations at the event.
The Haas VF-2 CNC vertical machining centre has travels of 762 x 406 x 508 mm in the X, Y and Z axes. The machine uses a 40 taper spindle driven by a 22.4 kW vector drive motor delivering high torque through to a maximum speed of 8100 rpm. The VF-2 boasts a 20-station carousel tool changer and 25.4 m/min rapids on the three main axes.
For those seeking a compact, high-speed drill and tap machine with full milling capabilities, look no further than the DT-1. The machine features a generous 508 x 406 x 394 mm work cube and 660 x 381 mm T-slot table, while maintaining a very small footprint. A powerful BT-30 taper spindle spins to 15,000 rpm, and allows tapping at speeds to 5000 rpm. The DT-1 is equipped with a high-speed, 20-pocket, servo-driven tool changer that swaps tools in 0.8 seconds. Rapids of 61 m/min combine with 1G acceleration rates to shorten cycles and reduce non-cutting time.
Visitors to the event will be able to join live demo tours, with a team of HFO CNCSSIPL experts on hand to answer any questions.
