Haas Automation vs JTEKT · Horizontal Machining Centers
Summary
The Haas EC-1600 and the JTEKT FH630SX are both 50-taper horizontal machining centers, but they are proportioned differently. The Haas EC-1600 is long and tall, with 64 in (1,626 mm) of X and 50 in (1,270 mm) of Y travel and a 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) table load. The JTEKT FH630SX is shorter in X and Y at 1,050 mm (41.3 in) and 900 mm (35.4 in), and carries 1,500 kg (3,306 lb).
The JTEKT FH630SX is deeper in Z, 1,050 mm (41.3 in) against 32 in (813 mm), and has far more spindle torque: 887 ft-lb (1,202 Nm) against 340 ft-lbf @ 700 rpm (460 N·m @ 700 rpm). It comes in 8,000 and 15,000 rpm versions where the Haas EC-1600 runs to 7,500 rpm, and it holds 60 tools as standard, with magazines up to 330, against 50+1.
