Haas UMC-750 General Questions

[Justin Beebe at Folsom Tool]

Josh,

 

I apologize it has taken me so long to answer your question. So far we are really happy with the Haas UMC-750. We are only using it to cut aluminum. We have Mitsui, Makino, and Kitamura to machine harder materials. We also added the 12,000 RPM spindle and a few other bells and whistles that increased the base price a little. For 5-axis aluminum work this is a very good machine for the price. I can't say how it will do with steel because we don't plan on using it for that purpose but I suspect the results would be poor compared to our other machines. In my opinion this machine is what it is a very good bargain for doing 5-axis aluminum work.

All,

 

At first I thought the UMC-750 was meant for AL t6061 only...but it was pretty damn good at cutting harder material... all sst , Titanium, only must use " Dynamic" motion with a bout 3-5 percent step over, full LOC... cut titanium with full 5 morph between 2 surfaces, using TCPC with no problem... just be cautious when using full 5 with TCPC.. you might have to create a entry geometry ... to fool the machine TCPC...

 

well, overall... UMC-750 is great for that kind of price.. couldn't ask for more...

 

still a lot to learn... the other day,, ran the Probe zero check.. everything was good... manually check the y-offset was off .0015,,, so we adjusted the 1307 parameter and no more problem... same with the z-offset.. have to manually check right after probe...and adjust 1308 parameter..
