In this video Haas demonstrates just how easy it is to keep your coolant tank full without taking time away from machining parts. With the Automatic Coolant Refill System you simply pour any coolant concentrate you choose into a holding tank and, using the machine control panel, push a few buttons to enable the device to automatically mix the coolant with water to your desired concentration. The system then fills the coolant tank. The video explains the entire process and demonstrates how the system works in real time.

Each year the Gene Haas Foundation awards grants and scholarships to help schools prepare students to pursue careers in manufacturing. Recently, the Foundation awarded a $7,500 grant to Northwoods Manufacturing, a program of Hurley High School in Hurley Wisconsin. Bill Dymond and Dave Kramer from you Milwaukee Haas Factory Outlet recently presented the check and toured the facility.

Some CNC machine shops shy away from hard turning because they’ve heard tales of how complex and difficult it is to employ. Yet many others have found that, once they better understand the process, there are significant benefits including eliminating investment in specialized grinding equipment, and the ability to perform multiple CNC machining operations with one setup, thus improving throughput and reducing cost-per-part.

Haas CNC machine controls have a number of features that help you make parts faster and easier than ever before. In this new “Run, Stop, Jog and Continue” video Haas demonstrates how easy it is to temporarily stop a long machining operation so you can check surface finish, a cutting tool or for any other reason, and then quickly and easily resume production. As you’ll see it’s just about as easy as hitting the Pause button on your DVD player.

Die/mold machining is often a tedious, time- and labor-intensive operation. That’s because the process usually involves multiple machine tools and handling the part 5 – 7 times. All of which adds operator cost while increasing the likelihood of damaged workpieces and inconsistent part quality.

If you’re like most CNC shop owners you’re a hands-on person who probably started out running jobs yourself. Nowadays, however, you may find yourself everywhere but on your shop floor. You meet with customers and suppliers, track down job opportunities, keep up on the latest machining technologies and sift through paperwork.

You can argue about who the hardest working person is in your shop, but no one disagrees that the standard 3-jaw chuck works as hard as any CNC machine component. It’s the primary workholding device that helps maintain accuracy and spindle speed.

Haas customers recently had four opportunities to learn how Renishaw probes and Haas CNC machine tools work together seamlessly to reduce setup times by up to 90% and enable shops to make better products in less time and with less material waste.

Vintage automobile restoration CNC shop, Jim Stokes Workshops Limited, takes great pride in bringing classic cars back to life. In this video shot in Stoke’s UK facility, he explains why he loves restoring vintage rides like the Alpha Romeo 8C and using Haas CNC machines, which he describes as “…like big American V8s – brilliant and functional.”

Your Milwaukee Haas Factory Outlet brings you a comprehensive seminar that teaches you how to turn and mill complex parts in a single machine tool to save time and cost-per-part.
