Haas Automation, Inc.
Value Added
Haas Automation is continually improving its products and processes in order to provide more value to its customers. Often, those improvements come directly from the shop floor.
These castings for the tool-release piston on Haas 40-taper inline direct-drive spindles are machined in a single setup on one of the many FMS installations at Haas.
But that wasn’t always the case. The component used to be three separate pieces, requiring machining on several machines. An astute Haas machinist, however, realized that turning the assembly into a single casting would not only eliminate parts, but also simplify the assembly process. The part was subsequently re-engineered – improving a process, and adding more value.
