Gantry Router
The Haas GR-512 is a gantry-style router with travels of
145” x 61” x 11” (xyz) and a powerful 40-taper milling
head.
The machine comes standard with a 10,000-rpm
spindle that features a powerful 15 hp vector drive system.
This gives the GR-512 plenty of
power to cut aluminum and other metals,
as well as the speed necessary
to cut wood, plastics and other
light materials. A 10-pocket
automatic tool changer is standard
and a coolant
system is available
as an option.
Featuring rigid
steel construction,
the GR-512 provides a very
stable platform for heavy cutting. The machine’s 12’ x 5’
fixed table provides plenty of support for large and/or
heavy workpieces and the gantry assembly travels the full
length of the table on heavy-duty linear guides for low friction
and extreme accuracy. Powerful brushless servo
motors and high-pitch ballscrews combine to produce
rapids up to 2,100 ipm (y axis)
for reduced cycle times.
For high-speed machining
work, the GR-512 is available
with optional 15,000-rpm or
30,000-rpm spindles and Haas’
exclusive HSM control option
with full look-ahead allows high
feedrates on complex geometries
without distortion to the programmed
path. If additional milling power is desired, a
high-torque, 5,000-rpm spindle is also available.
The Haas CNC accepts ISO standard G-code and is compatible
with all major CAM systems. A built-in graphic dryrun
mode allows the operator to check tool paths on
screen without actually cutting material. Optional features
like Visual Quick Code programming, rotation and scaling
and custom macros make generating G code simple for
novice programmers and experts alike.
