The Haas DS-30SSY turning center combines dual-spindle turning with Y axis, C axis and live tooling capabilities. The opposed spindles support fully synchronized turning and enable on-the-fly part pass-off to reduce cycle times, the company says.
The A2-6 main spindle features an 8.3" hydraulic chuck and a 30-hp vector drive system, while the A2-5 secondary spindle also has an 8.3" hydraulic chuck and is powered by a 20-hp vector drive system. Both spindles turn as fast as 4,800 rpm and have a 2.0" bar capacity. The turning center provides 4" of Y-axis travel (±2" from the centerline) for off-center milling, drilling and tapping, and is equipped with high-torque live tooling, a 24-station hybrid BOT/VDI turret and a servo-driven C axis. Maximum cutting capacity is 16" × 23".
Haas will also display its UMC-750 universal machining center, ST-10Y compact Y-axis turning center and HRC10 high speed cam-driven rotary table.
