Oxnard, California August 04, 2014: Haas Factory Outlet (HFO) - Phillipscorp, CNCSSIPL division, has announced two Haas Demo Days' in September 2014.

The first of the two events is scheduled for September 8th and 9th and will take place in Ludhiana at the Research & Development Centre for Bicycle & Sewing Machines. 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.

Haas 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 for 11.30am-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 24th and 25th September. Opening times are also 10 am to 6 pm and 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 at 11.30am-12.30pm, 1.30pm-2.30pm, 3.00pm-4.00pm, and 4.30pm-5.30pm.

DT-1 with new 15,000 rpm spindle

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 feedrates 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.
