Haas UMC-1000 vs Haas UMC-1000SS
Haas vs Haas Automation · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The Haas UMC-1000SS is the Super Speed version of the UMC-1000 5-axis machining center. Both share 40 in (1,016 mm) of X and 25 in (635 mm) of Y and Z travel, a 30 hp (22.4 kW) spindle with 90 ft-lbf @ 2,000 rpm, and a 30+1 tool changer. The differences are all about speed.
The UMC-1000SS spins to 12,000 rpm against 8,100 rpm, changes tools in 1.8 s against 2.8 s, cuts chip-to-chip time to 2.4 s from 3.6 s and rapids at 1,200 ipm (30.5 m/min) against 900 ipm (22.9 m/min). It weighs 17,000 lb (7,711 kg) against 15,600 lb (7,077 kg). Haas lists the UMC-1000 at US$251,995 and the UMC-1000SS at US$286,995.

Advantages
Haas UMC-1000
- Lower published list price, US$251,995 against US$286,995
- Same 40 in (1,016 mm) envelope and 30 hp (22.4 kW) spindle
Haas UMC-1000SS
- 12,000 rpm spindle against 8,100 rpm
- 1.8 s tool-to-tool and 2.4 s chip-to-chip against 2.8 s and 3.6 s
- 1,200 ipm (30.5 m/min) rapids against 900 ipm (22.9 m/min)
Verdict
Same envelope, different pace. Buy the UMC-1000SS for production 5-axis work in aluminum, such as aerospace structures, impellers and motorsport housings, where 12,000 rpm and 2.4 s chip-to-chip time shorten cycles enough to justify the higher list price. Buy the UMC-1000 for 3+2 work on larger parts, steel jobs and training use, where 8,100 rpm is enough and the US$251,995 list price matters more.
