Between 10am and 6pm on both days, visitors to the event will be able to witness cutting demonstrations on various Haas CNC machine tools including a VF-2 vertical machining centre and an ST-10Y, latest generation Haas CNC lathe with Y-axis.
Experts from the local HFO will be on-hand to guide visitors through the demonstrations and will also answer questions regarding the machines. Demo tours are scheduled for11.30am-12.30pm 1.30pm-2.30pm, 3.00pm-4.00pm, and 4.30pm-5.30pm.
The Haas ST-10Y is one of the latest-generation, high productivity machines from the Haas ST range of completely redesigned CNC turning centres. Equipped with C-axis and live tooling, customers can turn and mill complex parts and perform multiple operations in one set-up, increasing throughput, reducing handling and improving accuracy. The Haas ST-10Y CNC lathe has a 229 x 356 mm max capacity, 413 mm swing, ±50.8 mm Y-axis travel, can accept 44 mm bar, and uses a 11.2 kW vector drive to give a top spindle speed of 6000 rpm.
The second event will take place in Kolhapur at Shri Mahalaxmi Auto Components on September 24 and 25 from 10 am to 6 pm. The Haas machines being demonstrated will include the hugely successful Haas DT-1 Drill Tap machine. The Kolhapur Demo Day will have the same format as the Ludhiana event, with demo tours held by Haas experts at11.30am-12.30pm, 1.30pm-2.30pm, 3.00pm-4.00pm, and 4.30pm-5.30pm.
This year, Haas Automation has boosted the spindle speed of its successful DT-1 drill/tap centre from 12,000 rpm to 15,000 rpm, giving customers the ability to run higher feed rates for small tools and quick-turn machining operations. The DT-1 is a compact, high-speed drill and tap machine with full milling capabilities. The machine features a generous 508mm x 406mm x 394mm work cube and 660mm x 381mm T-slot table, while maintaining a very small footprint.
