The fastest way to increase the productivity of your Haas mill is to add a Haas single or dual-axis rotary product. You can reduce or totally eliminate multiple setups, and easily handle machining multi-sided parts.
With a full line of Haas rotary products, including many specialised units designed for maximum productivity, Haas continues to lead the way to higher productivity through automation.
All Haas rotary products are designed to integrate seamlessly with the control on your Haas mill. This means true simultaneous 4-axis or 5-axis motion, synchronized with the axes of your mill. Rotary setup is a simple plug-and-play process through the Haas Control, with on-screen instructions, and diagrams that are intuitive and easy to use. It’s possible to install a Haas rotary on other makes of mill as we also offer the Haas Servo Control. Activated by a single M-code, the Servo Control is easy to set up, and fully programmable.
Adding a rotary axis to your CNC mill is the fastest way to boost throughput and increase accuracy. Because Haas began as a rotary table manufacturer in the 1980s, we are able to provide the simplest and most cost-effective entry into 4-axis and 5-axis machining available.
Going from 3-axis machining to 4-axis and 5-axis machining can be intimidating. This short video shows how easy it is to transition from basic 3-axis milling to full 5-axis design and production.
Load up your Haas horizontal mill with powerful tools for swarf clearing, coolant management, and swarf removal.
Haas offers a wide selection workholding solutions for your 4-axis and 5-axis clamping needs, from compact air-collet closers to quick-change fixture plates to manual scroll chucks.
Constructed of heavy-duty materials and designed for dependable day-in, day-out operation, Haas rotary products are the benchmark by which all others are measured. We manufacture all critical components in-house at our state-of-the-art California facility. At the core of every Haas rotary table is a large-diameter, aluminium-bronze worm gear meshing with a ground alloy steel worm (hardened to 60 Rc) submerged in a synthetic oil bath.
To ensure indexing accuracy, we cut the worm gear while it’s attached to the spindle, rather than assembling the finished worm gear to the spindle, as other manufacturers do. Each assembled spindle is trammed-in on a CNC gear hobber to a maximum 2-micron runout, and then the worm gear is precision cut. This guarantees the utmost concentricity between the large-diameter ball bearings and the worm gear, ensuring many years of smooth, extremely accurate, and bind-free operation.
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.
