Why a Sub-Spindle ?

Sub-Spindle Benefits:

  • Allows for done-in-one part machining processes 
  • Fully synchronized, on-the-fly part pass-off (up to 4800 rpm)
  • Increases productivity
  • Improves part quality
  • Reduces scrap by minimizing part handling
  • Reduces secondary setups
  • Easy programming, with Z-axis mirroring capability
  • Works well with bar feeder and parts catcher machine configurations
  • Powerful servomotor drive provides generous torque for finishing operations

Sub-Spindle Programming

Sub-Spindle programming is made simple by the Haas control. Forget about having to program the Z-axis in the positive direction. Simply program the Sub-Spindle operations the same way you would for the Main Spindle, insert G14 (Secondary Spindle Swap) at the Sub-Spindle Tool Call in the program, and the control does everything for you – from turning on the spindle in the correct direction, to opening and closing the chuck, to turning on the coolant, and more. 

The Main and Sub-Spindle can fully synchronize, so you can pass-off a part with the chucks turning. The Sub-Spindle also is capable of phasing (orientation), so you can grip parts with odd shapes. 

A dedicated active G-code display on the control lets you know the status of both spindles at all times.

Sub-Spindle Included Parts Ejector

A very high-volume production setup common with sub-spindle lathes involves a bar feeder and a parts catcher. This trio of options allows for extended periods of unattended parts machining.

This is why we include a Parts Ejector with every Sub-Spindle Option. The Parts Ejector inserts directly into the bore of the drawbar, and provides a very simple way to eject a finished part into the parts catcher chute, for continual machine operation without opening the door. The ejector features a removable end piece (push plug) that can be customized to fit your application.

Note:

  • The following charts are for reference only.
  • These power numbers are based on 240V service, supplied at the required amperage.
  • Actual results may vary depending on the supplied power and the operating conditions.
  • Haas spindles will provide these peak power numbers (which equate to 200% spindle load) for 3 minutes, 
    150% spindle load (75% of the peak number) for 15 minutes, 100% spindle load (50% of the peak number) continuously.
