AUTOMATIC PARTS LOADER

THE HAAS AUTOMATIC PARTS LOADER (APL) IS DESIGNED WITH TODAY’S JOB SHOP IN MIND, PROVIDING SIMPLE AND AFFORDABLE AUTOMATION ON HAAS TURNING CENTERS AND MILLS.

The APL integrates seamlessly with the Haas control, and is set up through a simple, intuitive interface that uses graphics, animations, and detailed text to guide the operator through the steps necessary to quickly set up and program the APL. The operator enters basic information by either positioning the part grippers and pushing a single button, or by entering basic numeric values. All values are calculated automatically by the control, and the APL is ready to go.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

MICRO-CUT ENGINEERING

See how Micro-Cut Engineering automated their processes, and were running parts the first night of setting up their APL!

Micro-Cut Engineering decided to purchase a VF-2SS with an APL to machine their parts unattended. Previously, all parts were hand loaded one-by-one into a vise. Purchasing the Haas APL is their first step to a simple transition toward lights-out, unattended machining. Company president Andrew Starrenburg explains how simple the install and set up were, allowing him to run parts unattended the first night!

“Once the machine was installed by our local HFO, the machine was up and running within an hour or two.” 

– Andrew Starrenburg, President, Micro-Cut Engineering


TMF Center

"The APL was a game changer for us because it's difficult to find employees right now, so the more automation we can use the better. The best part about it is the simplicity of it. Our APLs mostly help us with labor. We’re about to eliminate our past due work, and we run the APL’s 8-10 hours a day. We have one APL, and we’ve ordered 3 more. Down the road, I see us utilizing technology and stategically placing the APL's and other automated equipment to make sure that TMF stays on the cutting edge of all processes for our customers."

– Lori Van Meter, President 

 

 

AUTOMATION PAYBACK: LESS THAN 6 MONTHS

DO THE MATH: Run just four extra hours per day with the APL, and you could generate enough output to pay for your investment in as few as 6 months. Looking at it another way, the APL is roughly half the cost of an operator’s wages for a full year!

 

MEET YOUR NEW OPERATOR: THE HAAS APL

____________________________________

EVERYBODY needs operators right now, and keeping your machines up and running can be a challenge. You could try to hire a person, but qualified operators are hard to find, and they’re not always 100% reliable.

You could buy a 6-axis robot to automate your processes, but that can be a complex, involved, and expensive proposition, often requiring extensive integration – at additional cost.

The Haas APL provides simple, affordable automation for your Haas small VMC or lathe, that is fully integrated with your machine, right out of the box.

EASY SETUP: SIMPLE & INTUITIVE

____________________________________

We’ve done all the work: It’s built into the machine; it’s controlled by the machine; and there’s no additional setup – or cost. Shift your mindset. The Haas APL is a simple “operator” that can help you get hours of extra production time after your other operators have gone home. Or, it can free up your skilled machinists for more complex tasks during the day.

There’s no need for special training or additional software, our simple and intuitive templates built into the Haas control make job setup and programming fast and easy.

 

The Haas Automatic Parts Loader – APL

Our Automatic Parts Loader makes it easy to run your Haas lathe non-stop. Available for plug-and-play integration with many Haas lathes – including Y-axis models – this productivity booster will help you automate your part production. Note: No longer available on the standard ST-10 or ST-15.

 

Setting Up The Haas APL

Setting up the Haas APL is easier than ever, directly through the Haas control. Our simple setup interface will have you fully automated in minutes, loading and unloading parts for unattended machining.

 

It’s Really That Simple

We grabbed Luke, one of our accountants, and asked him to take a crack at setting up the Automatic Parts Loader in our Demo Room. Watch how it turned out.

 

The Haas Mill Automatic Parts Loader

Automate part production on small VF series VMCs with the Haas mill APL. It integrates seamlessly with the Haas control, and features a simple setup interface that will have you fully automated in minutes.
