Cool Fins
A row of spindle heads for Haas ST-20 lathes awaits assembly. Haas mounts the motors above the spindle so any heat generated moves up and away from the spindle to reduce thermal affects to the casting. The finned housings of the motors are left unpainted to increase heat transfer, so the motors run cooler. These two things combine to increase the thermal stability of the machines.
