HaasTecs are synonymous with CNC machining technology showcasing the very best and latest in technology for milling, turning, measuring and more helping CNC machine shops the world over become improve performance, productivity and profit.

The recently concluded HAASTEC Pune from 9th to 12th December 2015, was a grand event managed by the local Haas Factory Outlet (HFO) – A Division of CNC Servicing & Solutions (a Phillipscorp Group Company). “Pune is home to a large number of industries, the most popular ones being Automotive and General Engineering, therefore it was a perfect fit to host this year’s HaasTec here,” says Nikhil Modi, Marketing Coordinator for the local HFO.

With over 3000 attendees over 4 days, this latest edition of the popular HaasTec show held at Auto Cluster Exhibition grounds in Chinchwad was an action packed event with live demos on the 8 HAAS machines on display. Visitors from Kolhapur, Aurangabad, Nashik, Mumbai and of course Pune and adjoining areas came in large numbers with 3096 attendees from over 1600 companies directly or indirectly connected with CNC machining.

“On behalf of the Haas team, I would like to thank all our customers and partners who attended our HaasTec in huge numbers proving once again that the focused format of the HaasTec shows provide the best value in terms of sharing knowledge, ideas and best practices for the CNC machine shop fraternity,” says Terrence Miranda, Managing Director, Haas Factory Outlet Mumbai.

HaasTec included machine demonstrations, extensive technical tours displaying a Haas VF-2 showcased in an open condition and live floor presentations of various productivity options such as through spindle coolant, probing systems and the new barfeeder, all for the benefit of customers to truly see what makes HAAS unique. The UMC-750 universal 5-axis machining centre, the large, powerful VF-7/50 and the compact, flexible ST-10Y, Y-axis turning centre stole the show featuring some aggressive cutting parameters and innovative machining strategies. A full range of Haas spindles and rotary products on display and a Haas Info Bar completed the round up.

With 15 exhibitors displaying their latest products and technical experts in attendance from major tooling, workholding, accessories, CAD/CAM, measurement and probing manufacturers the Pune HaasTec truly lived the theme: Performance, Productivity, Profit. Customers visiting the event were able to discuss their queries with experts from HAAS Automation Inc, USA – Chris McHugh – Business Manager & Ernesto Flores – Product Specialist.

HaasTec Pune 2015 received rave reviews from visitors and exhibitor vendor partners alike. The Delcam spokesperson had this to say: “The event is unique in the sense that our customers and prospects get to see solutions here, rather than just products’’. The Renishaw spokesperson described the event as, “A great platform to display our technology.’’

The feedback from the event was extremely positive and this naturally poses an even greater challenge for the HAAS team already planning the next HaasTec in Bangalore in February 2016 as the bar has been set very high indeed.
