5-axis machining is an effective means to reduce setups and increase accuracy for multi-sided and complex parts. The shorter travels and compact footprints of the Haas UMC-500 Series Universal Machining Centers make them perfect solutions for 3+2 machining and simultaneous 5-axis machining of smaller parts.
NOTE: The 95-gallon (360 L) coolant tank option requires a hopper-style chip bin to clear the tank and reach the chip conveyor discharge outlet.
Includes Wireless Intuitive Probing System
The UMC-500 offers shorter travels and a more compact footprint than the UMC-750, while incorporating the design improvements of the larger UMC-1000.
Universal Machining Center Design Improvements:
Cycloidal Rotary Drives
Lighter Operator Door
Front-Mounted Control Pendant
Easy-Access Operator Convenience Features
Larger Side-Window
Stiffer Base Casting
Standard Rollaway Coolant Tank
Cycloidal Rotary Drives
The cycloidal rotary drive system – designed for machine tools and robotics – provides a great combination of speed, accuracy, and durability on both the B and C axes. The rugged design provides long service life, with little or no maintenance, and is especially durable in a crash. The cycloidal rotary drive can be back driven to absorb energy from an impact. The shock-load capacity is 5 times the rated torque of the gearbox, and the entire gearbox is a simple drop-in replacement, should damage occur.
Operator Door Improvements
The UMC-500 door mounts inside the enclosure, which raises the bottom of the enclosure opening, and provides better chip control.
