Why?

Why Automate?

Because your competition is already doing it. Automation is essential to control your costs, maximize your efficiency, and maintain a competitive edge – to ensure your future. Automation has become an absolute necessity, due to a shortage of skilled personnel, rising labor costs, and the increased need to deliver higher-quality parts at reduced prices.

    Automation in Action

    WESTERN SAW

    ST-30 + Robot

    This Haas 25 kg Robot Package at Western Saw in Oxnard, CA, uses a unique magnetic gripper to load and unload parts from a Haas ST-30. Watch as the 25 kg robot easily handles these large, steel cylindrical parts. 

    MICRO-CUT ENGINEERING

    VF-2SS + Automatic Parts Loader

    HFO Chicago customer Micro-Cut Engineering of Gilbert, IL, recently received their first Haas Automatic Parts Loader (APL). Micro-Cut President Andrew Starrenburg explains their decision to buy the APL, and discusses the added productivity they’ve experienced since the purchase.

    TOOHIGHPSI

    VF-2SSYT + Pallet Pool

    Recently, we visited TooHighPSI, and talked with Mike Sitar Jr. about the high-performance parts they’re making, and how Haas machines and tooling fit into their manufacturing program. Their VF-2SSYT with 3+1 pallet pool has allowed them to increase production, and run longer-cycle parts overnight.

    PRIMARY MACHINE AND REPAIR

    EC-400 + Pallet Pool
    VF-2SSYT + Robot

    “The Haas Robot Package has allowed us to triple our production. Before we purchased the Robot Package-1, we were looking to hire a person for the night shift, and now that we have the Robot Package, we are able to run our machine lights-out, and still keep our overhead relatively low.”

    DK CUSTOM PRODUCTS

    ST-20Y + Haas Bar Feeder

    DK Custom Products was founded by Devin and Kevin – the D and K in DK – to provide “better than OEM” Harely Davidson parts for owners who drive their motorcycles long distances. After initially hand-fabricating parts, they invested in  a Haas TM-2P to begin machining parts from billet. As production volumes grew, they added a Haas ST-20Y with Haas Bar Feeder to machine cylindrical parts with milled secondary features complete. Most recently, they added a VF-2SS to handle high-volume parts previously milled on the TM-2P. 

    CLIPPARD INSTRUMENT LAB 

    UMC-500 + Pallet Pool

    Clippard Instrument Lab of Cincinnati, Ohio, recently received a Haas UMC-500 with a pallet pool, so their single-shift shop could run the machine unattended overnight. Operations Manager Robin Rutschilling explains how the 16-station pallet pool allowed them to reduce handling times, as well as increase productivity.
