The compact footprint and redesigned sheetmetal of the new design yield a shorter distance between the door and center of the chuck for better ergonomics. The reduced reach to the chuck makes it easier for machine operators to manually load and unload parts. It also allows for faster automated (robot) part loading and unloading. 

We’ve increased the angle of the wedge from 45 degrees to 55 degrees, which improves the overall chip flow inside the work envelope. The steeper inclination contributes to faster chip evacuation when using a chip conveyor (optional).

The Haas Auto Door is available on the redesigned machines, reducing operator fatigue, and simplifying automation. The Auto Door opens the machine doors automatically via an M-code, or can open them manually via a button on the control pendant. This reduces operator fatigue during repetitive machining operations, and allows for unattended operation when used with a robotic loader or our optional APL. The doors close automatically at Cycle Start, and can be controlled via settings to open at the end of a cycle, or at an Optional Stop.

NOTE: Availability my vary by region. Not available in Europe, except with robot and APL installations. 

• Improves machine ergonomics
• Reduces operator fatigue during repetitive machining operations
  
• Operates automatically via M-code, or manually via a button on the control pendant
• Allows for unattended operation when used in conjunction with a robotic loader or APL
  
• Closes automatically at Cycle Start, and can open automatically at cycle end or an Optional Stop 

Our two-stage automatic parts catcher moves completely out of the primary work envelope during machining, and quickly moves into place when commanded at the end of cycle. For parts with short cycle times, the arm can be left in the extended position, with only the tray rotating up to catch parts at the end of cycle. 

The catch tray is easily adjusted for different part-off locations, and can be positioned to catch parts from either the main spindle or optional sub-spindle.

• 4.25" (108 mm) length X 2.125" (54 mm) diameter part capacity
• 10 lb (4.5 kg) part weight limit 
• Allows for uattended machining
• Fully integrated with the Haas control; activated by M-code
• Easily adjusted for different part-off locations
• Retrieves finished parts without opening the door

The new tailstock design allows setting the hydraulic pressure as low as 60 psi (4.1 bar) to minimize part deformation when machining thin parts. The Acme screw drive system provides better tailstock support during heavy roughing operations.

• #4 Morse Taper
• #5 Morse Taper Upgrade (optional)
• User-adjusted restricted -travel zone for tailstock protection
• Intuitive set up with dedicated tab on screen
• M-code or pedal operated
