Machine Comparison
Haas UMC-400 vs Haas UMC-500
Haas Automation vs Haas Automation · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The Haas UMC-400 and Haas UMC-500 are the two smallest Haas 5-axis machining centers. Both spin to 8,100 rpm, carry 30+1 tools, change tools in 2.8 s, run 3.6 s chip-to-chip and rapid at 900 ipm (22.9 m/min). The UMC-500 is larger and has double the spindle power.
The UMC-500 has 24 in (610 mm) of X travel against 17 in (432 mm), 16 in (406 mm) of Y against 11 in (279 mm) and 16 in (406 mm) of Z against 13 in (330 mm). Its spindle is rated 30 hp (22.4 kW) and 90 ft-lbf @ 2,000 rpm against 15 hp (11.2 kW) and 46 ft-lbf @ 1,700 rpm, and it offers an HSK-A63 option alongside CT40 / BT40. The UMC-400 weighs 7,520 lb (3,411 kg) against 11,900 lb (5,400 kg).

Advantages
Haas UMC-400
- Smaller, lighter machine at 7,520 lb (3,411 kg) against 11,900 lb (5,400 kg)
- Same 2.8 s tool change and 3.6 s chip-to-chip as the larger model
Haas UMC-500
- 30 hp (22.4 kW) spindle against 15 hp (11.2 kW)
- 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) of torque against 46 ft-lbf (62 N·m)
- 24 in (610 mm) of X travel against 17 in (432 mm)
- 16 in (406 mm) of Y travel against 11 in (279 mm)
Verdict
Choose the UMC-400 for small 5-axis parts such as dental and medical implants, watch components and prototypes, where 17 in (432 mm) of X travel and a 15 hp spindle cover the work. Choose the UMC-500 for mixed-material 5-axis work in steel and stainless, where 30 hp, 90 ft-lbf of torque and 24 in (610 mm) of X travel give more room and cutting force.
