Haas tool changer boosts capacity

April 4, 2022
Haas' 70+1 changer can hold twice as many tools as its predecessor.

70+1 side-mount tool changer Haas’ side-mount tool changers allow its machining centers to have access to a large number of tools without encroaching on the machine’s work envelope. Haas’ 70+1 tool changer can be used with its VF-2YT, VF-2SSYT, VM-2, UMC-500/SS, UMC-750/SS and UMC-1000/SS/P machines.

What’s new? The 70+1 tool changer. 

Benefits More than double the capacity. Previously, the largest tool changer available for these machines had a 30+1 capacity. Carrying more tools makes it easier to perform low-volume, high-mix production tasks. Its servo-driven carousel allows direct positioning to any tool for shorter cycle times. Tools and tool pockets are kept free of machining debris, and the carousel can accommodate oversized and heavy tools.
