Haas uses only premium-quality ballscrews and guides that meet the highest quality standards in the industry. Haas ballscrews are anchored at both ends and pre-tensioned, then inspected for 100% parallelism to the axis guides.
Haas uses a stringent ball bar test that not only checks linear accuracy, but also the machine geometry. This ensures the three-dimensional squareness and accuracy of each machine.
The Haas through-spindle coolant options improve tool life and allow higher speeds, deep hole drilling and blind pocket milling. The result is high productivity and reduced cycle times. Haas engineers have designed a special seal which disengages when the system is not in use. This exclusive design feature extends the life of the system. The standard TSC option provides 300 psi (20 bar) at a flow rate of 1.5 gallons (5.7 L) per minute, and 250 psi (17 bar) at 4 gpm (15 Lpm). The 1000 psi option has a max flow rate of 6 gpm (23 Lpm), and requires separate (customer-supplied) 3-phase power. In both systems, actual pressure will vary with the diameter of the coolant passages in the tool.
Another unique time-saving feature from Haas. We noticed operators were constantly opening the doors of the machine to readjust coolant lines. P-Cool is a multi-position programmable nozzle that automatically directs coolant precisely at the part. The position of the nozzle is controlled via the program, saving operator time by eliminating constant adjustments.

More tools, more work space and faster tool changes – together, these advantages will increase productivity and reduce setup times. Locating the tool changer outside of the work envelope frees up additional workspace, while adding greater flexibility when using large fixtures or rotary tables.
