There are countless ways to improve productivity on your Haas machines, and one is as simple and cost-effective as replacing standard flood coolant with a high-pressure coolant system. The most obvious advantage of high-pressure coolant is that it enables faster and deeper cuts than with flood coolant. But there’s much more:

We’re winding up one of the hottest summers on record in many parts of the country, which means the inside of many CNC shops haven’t been particularly comfortable. Heat and humidity can be tough on factory workers, but it can be murder on CNC machine electronics.

Your nose can tell when waste oil (also called tramp oil) collects in your coolant tank. Not only does it create an annoying odor, it can actually cause skin irritations and respiratory problems for your machine operators. That’s why Haas developed a simple, fully integrated Oil Skimmer that automatically keeps your coolant free of surface waste oil.

CNC machine tool operators know that every time they open the enclosure’s door it’s smart to wait a few moments to allow the mist and smoke vapors to dissipate. After all, no one wants to stick his or her head inside until the air clears.

Haas CNC machines are built to last, but even the most rugged and reliable machine tools have parts that eventually need to be replaced. Additionally, no matter how well trained your staff is, accidents can happen. When breakdowns occur, you’ll want to get your machines up and running as soon as possible.

Whether it’s our cars, trucks, or our own bodies, we know the importance of proper maintenance. If we never change our vehicle’s oil, the engine will eventually break down. If our bodies don’t get enough exercise, we won’t have optimum strength and flexibility. In the same way a CNC machine tool can’t function well without routine servicing.

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.

Every CNC shop wants to control costs and improve productivity. Using the most appropriate CNC machine technology and applying lean manufacturing principals are two important ways to achieve both goals. However we sometimes overlook the small things that can make a big difference, such as getting the most out of our cutting tools. Not only are the tools, themselves, costly but replacing worn tools can interrupt production, add labor costs and impact the quality of the parts being machined.

Why do you need a tailstock on your CNC turning center? It allows you to take in jobs involving parts that would be much more difficult to machine without this added feature. In this Haas CNC experts give you tailstock tips to help you expand your capabilities and reduce part costs.

The human body, your vehicles, and just about anything with moving parts need regular maintenance to keep them healthy. Naturally this is true of all CNC machine tools, even the highly reliable machines built by Haas. The difference is that parts and service for your Haas machines are as near as your local Haas Factory Outlet with all of these advantages:
