The Haas Compact Automatic Parts Loader at IMTS 2022

Product Specialist Mike Steinbock quickly walks us through the features of the Haas Compact Automatic Parts Loader we displayed at IMTS 2022 in Chicago.

THE HAAS MILL AUTOMATIC PARTS LOADER

The Haas mill APL is a simple way to automate part production on small VF series VMCs. It integrates seamlessly with the Haas control, and features a simple setup interface that will have you fully automated in minutes, loading and unloading parts for unattended machining.

Micro-Cut Engineering - VF-2SS + Automatic Parts Loader

Customer Spotlight

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

Holzman Machine - UMC-500 + Automatic Parts Loader

Customer Spotlight

Holzman Machine, LLC found its niche in machining complex 5-axis parts for aerospace with Haas UMC 5-axis machining centers. Recently, they took 5-axis machining to the next level by adding a UMC-500 integrated with an Automatic Parts Loader to run stainless steel parts lights-out and on weekends. Their next step in increasing productivity was to add a Haas ST-20Y Y-axis lathe with live-tooling to machine cylindrical parts having critical slots and a window in a single setup.

These videos show setting up the lathe version of the Haas APL, but the process is the same for the mill APL.

QUICK START GUIDE

Andrew walks us through the basic steps to follow when programming your Haas Automatic Parts Loader to load and unload parts. You’ll see right away that the APL is easy to program and get running.

CAN THIS GUY RUN A LATHE AUTOMATIC PARTS LOADER?

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. This is how it turned out.

SETUP AND USE OF THE AUTOMATIC PARTS LOADER

Andrew shows how easy it is to set up the Haas Automatic Parts Loader to load parts. He demonstrates moving the APL arm to pick up the part, load and unload it from the chuck, and how to record each of those positions, so the APL can run automatically in conjunction with the turning program.
