Chiron DZ 22W vs Haas CM-1
Chiron vs Haas Automation · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The Chiron DZ 22W and the Haas CM-1 are vertical machining centers of different size classes that serve different jobs. The Chiron DZ 22W is a twin-spindle production machine with 620 mm of X travel, 980 mm of Y and 600 mm of Z. The Haas CM-1 is a compact mill for small parts, with 12 in (305 mm) of X travel, 10 in (254 mm) of Y and 14 in (356 mm) of Z.
The Haas CM-1 has the faster spindle, 30,000 rpm against 12,500 – 20,000 rpm, on an ISO 20 taper. The Chiron DZ 22W has the torque, 86 – 208 Nm against 8 ft-lbf @ 3,000 rpm (10.8 N·m @ 3,000 rpm), on HSK-A63. It also carries 2 x 42, 2 x 64 or 2 x 98 tools against 20, and rapids at 75 m/min in all axes against 757 ipm (19.2 m/min).

Advantages
Chiron DZ 22W
- 620 mm of X, 980 mm of Y and 600 mm of Z travel against 12 in (305 mm), 10 in (254 mm) and 14 in (356 mm)
- 86 – 208 Nm of spindle torque against 8 ft-lbf @ 3,000 rpm (10.8 N·m @ 3,000 rpm)
- 2 x 42, 2 x 64 or 2 x 98 tools against 20
- 75 m/min rapids against 757 ipm (19.2 m/min)
Haas CM-1
- 30,000 rpm spindle against 12,500 – 20,000 rpm, for small cutters and engraving
- Compact machine for small parts and fine-detail finishing
- Suits workshops and labs that have only single-phase power
Verdict
A shop considering one is unlikely to be considering the other. Choose the Chiron DZ 22W for pairs of large aluminum or steel parts, twin-spindle roughing with up to 208 Nm, and long tool lists. Choose the Haas CM-1 for micro-milling, engraving and fine-detail finishing of small parts within 12 in (305 mm) of X travel, where 30,000 rpm matters more than torque and single-phase power is all the workshop has.
