Special edition Haas CNC lathe expected to fetch over $6 Million at auction 😂

We title it, “The Art of Machining”

As manufacturers, we’ve always known the power of duck tape, but never imagined when used to hold a banana, it would be considered prized art 🍌. So we’re taking art to the next level with this 1 of 1, Haas ST-28Y CNC lathe with a banana duck taped to the sheet metal as shown here with Phil Haming (Left) and Lou Santoro (Right) of HFO Midwest

Haas VR-9 5-axis VMC with Articulating Spindle Head reduces machining time on molds from days to hours...

Machining large molds with multiple cores, "Went from 3 to 4 days, down to 3 to 4 hours," states Matt Antoine, owner of Mallory Pattern Works, while talking about his shop's Haas VR-9 5-axis machining center.

The Haas VR-9's articulating 2-axis spindle head allows Mallory Patter Works to keep large mold blocks stationary on its 84" x 36" table and index the cutting tool around the workpiece, vs moving the workpiece around the head. In a single set up, they can machine the cavity face, the sides and the ends of the mold block.

Owner, operator, and motorsports enthusiast Antonio Brown of Automotive Engineering recently made some major changes to his machining operations to optimize his role as business owner / sole machine operator.

In this Haas Insider video, Antonio shares how his new pair of Haas CNC’s, with a focus on automation, has boosted his overall output by 30% with 50% of the spindles.

Established Ohio Job Shop Embraces 5-Axis Machining...

Like so many established job shops today, Northwood Industries Inc. recently took the leap into 5-axis machining, with the purchase of three Haas UMC 5-axis universal machining centers, a UMC-1250 and two UMC-1000's. The trio of large capacity 5-axis mills come more than a decade after Northwood purchased their first Haas, a VF-6 in 2009. According to Kurt Miller, President of Northwood, the 5-axis Haas UMC’s allow Northwood to get to cutting chips quicker and help them to achieve the accuracies they need in a shorter amount of time.

In this Haas Insider video, Lead Machinist Tim Rutkowski, shares details about two distinctly different jobs currently being machined on Northwood's UMC’s. Rutkowski also offers up his impressions of the UMC's capabilities. Check it out!
