Mike introduces Haas’ new Cobot Kit! You get absolutely amazing value when you purchase this kit along with a new machine. The Haas all-in-one HC10 Machine Ready Cobot kit includes everything required to run your new Cobot right off the Haas control. This kit features the HC10 Cobot with a 10kg part capacity, dual pneumatic grippers, protective barriers, a mounting base, a parts table, and all necessary hardware and cables.
Manufacturing Engineer Mallory Tevini is back again showing how robots can help address some of the most common concerns shops have these days. Mallory demonstrated the capabilities of the Haas robot at IMTS. She had the chance to talk to show attendees from all over, and many of those visitors repeated these same three concerns. Check out how a Haas robot can help in each of these cases.
For Example: When a rotary fits with alternative fixturing, it may fit in that particular Haas mill, but will require a sub-plate or alternate T-slot for proper positioning. We have labeled this particular rotary and mill combination with a yellow caution
You can design and build your own sub-plate using the dimensions of your Haas mill and the dimensions of the rotary you'd like to use on that mill. Product dimensions are available for every machine and rotary on this website.
Single-Head Rotary Tables and Indexers are usually mounted to the right side of the table, with the rotary facing the centre of the machine. This is the basic setup we used to determine the fit of your rotary product.
Image shown for mounting example purposes only. Your actual rotary and mill appearance may differ.
Trunnion Tables, T5Cs, and TRTs are usually mounted in the centre (or slightly off-centre) of the mill table. If you are using probing on the mill, be aware of the interference with larger tools, especially during tool changes.
NOTE: Trunnion units present interference issues with the swing of the unit relative to the machine column and spindle head.

Multi-Head Rotary Tables and Indexers are usually mounted toward the back of the table, with the indexer heads or platter facing forward. To mount a multi-head rotary in a different orientation, you must use alternative fixturing.

Important Information:
4-axis machines cannot use dual-axis rotaries.
Some options may affect mounting (EC-1600 4th-Axis Table, Low-Profile Tables, Table Spacers, Column Risers, etc.
Tool Changers: SMTCs and umbrella tool changers both present interference issues, plan appropriately.
